RUNES IN RPGS POCKET BOOK

Bring the power of runes to the tabletop.

Runes in RPGs is a compact, easy-access pocket book created by Isar Oakmund, designed for players and game masters who want to use the Elder Futhark runes as more than decoration.

This guide introduces practical, adaptable ways to integrate runes into tabletop role-playing games, offering simple systems and ideas that can influence world-building, character paths, magic, fate, and narrative consequences. It’s not about replacing existing rulesets - it’s about adding depth, tension, and symbolism through runic mechanics that feel natural and immersive.

Made to fill a small but important gap in any TTRPG library, this book acts as a toolkit rather than a doctrine. Use as much or as little as you like to steer your campaign, your players, and your stories down darker, stranger, or more mythic paths.
