Runeslayers is a complete roleplaying game that captures the gritty, sword and sorcery genre. Combat is fast, unpredictable, and deadly, magic is rare, and the foes of mankind numerous. Ancient WarClans battle these fierce foes in a harsh, uncivilized world.

Runeslayers started life as RuneQuest: Slayers and was intended for publication in 1998. Written by Christopher Lawrence and J.C. Connors, with original art by Jason Behnke, the game was intended to kickstart The Avalon Hill Game Company's roleplaying division. When Hasbro purchased the company in 1998, the project was cancelled. But now, it's free for download, and is being (irregularly) maintained.
