Welcome to the Eternal Ruins, a limitless sprawl of ancient corridors, chasms, towers, and gardens. It is a labyrinth without end; stretching vertically and horizontally as far the eye can see. No one knows why this world was built, and the meaning of many of its spaces have been lost to time.
You are a Wanderer. You awaken from a Sleeping Statue with no memories, free to explore this vast, quiet place. There are no settlements here, but you are not alone. Powerful Spirits accept offerings in exchange for their aid, while Servitors patrol the halls following their ancient commands. All the while, Demons hunt you through the ruins, seeking to inflict Despair.

Eternal Ruins: The Roleplaying Game was successfully funded on Kickstarter in February 2026. You can still make a late pledge if you missed it!
Eternal Ruins: The Roleplaying Game invites you to explore the Eternal Ruins with your friends. Built on a modified version of the Wild Words engine (seen in The Wildsea and Pico), this game emphasises exploration, camping and cooking.
The system features all-new travel mechanics designed specifically for the world of the Eternal Ruins, allowing you to discover unique locations as you wander. Character creation is fast but flexible, giving room for deep long term growth. Inside the book, you’ll find a range of creatures, demons, spirits, and servitors, with rules for both peaceful resolution and combat.
The Eternal Ruins are waiting, and your story is yet to be told. Your first step into the ruins starts now.
