The beloved MMORPG RuneScape has now made its way onto the tabletop scene with the launch of the RuneScape Kingdoms Board Game and the RuneScape Kingdoms Roleplaying Game. These new offerings are published by Steamforged Games and are available globally from today.
Introduction to Tabletop RuneScape
RuneScape’s venture into tabletop gaming introduces two distinct experiences for players: a board game and a roleplaying game, each offering a unique way to explore the world of Gielinor beyond the screen.
Board Game Details: The RuneScape Kingdoms Board Game is a cooperative experience designed for 1 to 4 players. It immerses players in Gielinor’s diverse landscapes, where they can embark on quests, battle monsters, and strive for various achievements. The game encourages both collaborative and individual strategies, allowing players to engage with the game world in multiple ways.
Roleplaying Game Overview: Separately, the RuneScape Kingdoms Roleplaying Game provides a more narrative-driven adventure, utilizing a tabletop roleplaying game format. This game requires a core book, dice, and a game master to guide the adventure. It’s designed to accommodate both solo and group play, offering a flexible framework for storytelling and exploration in the RuneScape universe.
Where to Find the Games
The full range of products, including exclusive items, is available through Steamforged Games’ online store. Core retail lines can also be found by searching for ‘RuneScape Kingdoms’ online or by visiting local board game retailers. A note for UK and EU customers: due to shipping delays in the Red Sea, the board game’s availability in these regions may be postponed until early March.
Additional Resources and Support
Steamforged Games plans to release a series of supporting materials for both games. This includes blogs, tutorials for painting miniatures, and guides for running a TTRPG campaign, aimed at enhancing player engagement and providing a comprehensive gaming experience.
