Jagex’s RuneScape is one of the oldest and most-beloved MMORPGs on the planet. Players have loved every version of the game. Thanks to an announcement by Jagex and Steamforged, players will be able to try out a new iteration of the game, namely a crowd-sourced board game called RuneScape Kingdoms: Shadow of the Elvarg.
The board game is a cooperative adventure for one to five players and is firmly seated in the fantasy world of Gielinor. It is a narrative and immersive campaign rather than one filled with complex strategy. It’s designed for people who want a new way to play their favorite game.
RuneScape Kingdoms: Shadow of Elvarg distills the classic, fun, high-fantasy adventures of the beloved living game into a tabletop experience. Gather your group and immerse yourself in the sometimes epic, often irreverent world of Gielinor. Whether you’re slaying mighty monsters, crafting awesome gear, or gathering eggs to bake that game-changing cake, RuneScape Kingdoms: Shadow of Elvarg lets you live your fantasy, your way.
You choose what skills to max, which weapons to craft, and even where to explore next. Meander through Gielinor, sampling every side quest on the way, or keep your eyes on the prize and cut a straight path through the campaigns to take on challenging boss fights. With a classless progression system, every group member can play their way, maxing skills to level up and earn those all-important capes.
Whatever kind of ‘Scaper you choose to be, you’ll play an important role in the success of your group — because you never know when the fate of Gielinor will depend on baking the right pie.
Learn more about how you can get involved by following the RuneScape: Shadow of Elvarg Kickstarter so you’ll know when the crowdfunding campaign goes live.
