Your story of decadence and doom awaits in a world of rust and ruin. Discover your faction. Confront the Ruin. What will you do with the time you have left? Our Brilliant Ruin explores human drama and personal intrigue in an elitist, class-based society unraveling amid an existential catastrophe known as the Ruin. With aesthetics and technology inspired by England’s Edwardian Era and France’s Belle Époque, the Dramark is a fictional world that draws from the Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements. Our Brilliant Ruin uses an original system of dice pools driven by a character’s emotions and motivations. The game focuses on the relationships and drama of class-based society and the balance between the “haves” and “have-nots.” Three broad factions exist from players to choose from - the aristocrats, the truefolk, and the unbonded. Meanwhile, the Ruin alters the very physiology of things, causing flora to sprout into mutated deathtraps, animals to grow hideous appendages, and humans to transform into monstrosities. The Ruin also clings to metal, corroding and destroying it, leaving the people all the more vulnerable to the creatures it spawns. The Ruin’s ultimate contamination of the entire Dramark isn’t a question of if, but when. What will you do with the time you have left? Successfully funded on Kickstarter by hundreds of backers, this book is a complete roleplaying game and is an introduction to the transmedia world of Our Brilliant Ruin.
