Ruby Radiance

You love Critical Role, you laugh at The Adventure Zone; or you never listened to any actual play show or stream, but you keep hearing about this game of Dragons and Dungeons on the grapevine and Netflix.

This game seems super-fun and enables good banter and drama. You want to try that!

You do some googling, and find out they are asking you 30 bucks for an intro kit? And it is a limited item? And if you then get one, they expect you have to drop another 100 on three books and dice and what not? And seriously, you need to read all that before you try that? Come on, you don't even know if you like to play roleplaying games! You just want to try it.

I wrote this game for you.

Ruby Radiance was designed to be an entry point for newcomers, your gateway into roleplaying. It is meant to be accessible, low-commitment, and easy to learn. It is not meant to emulate any Hasbro product or the trappings of OSR; instead, it focuses on the modern podcasting and streaming media. We know you come into the hobby with certain expectations and this game was designed to provide those.

Every element of Ruby Radiance has been adjusted to bring the same exactly type of drama and hijinks you may have enjoyed in other media. T
