Designing #RuinsRaiders card/dice board game (think: Raiders of Lost Ark + super simple DnD battle mechanic) at

“A perfect game for ending friendships” 😂

The game is done. The trailer is coming

I’m thinking about making a Kickstarter stretch goal to make cool dice, where the #6 side is a symbol of some kind. Originally I was thinking an ancient rune, but now I’m thinking something abstract that would make the characters go, “HOLD ON, I think this might be a map!”

The cards came! Just posted this full video on https://t.co/2bVECVQtMT #boardgamegeek #boardgamemechanics #boardgame #boardgames #SoloPlay #kickstarter

[Eric’s boardgame @RuinsRaiders]

The first printing of the cards came! Looking forward to unboxing them

[Eric’s boardgame @RuinsRaiders]

@TheUnluckyfrog Thanks 😊 Maybe later we can do a follow up. Lots has changed!

[Unlucky Frog Gaming @TheUnluckyfrog]

We were fortunate enough to chat with Eric way back in March. It's great to see it all coming together https://t.co/1Rc5iXLPML

Unboxing the Ruins Raiders Rulebook https://t.co/eHxkPcfAcB via @YouTube

[Eric’s boardgame @RuinsRaiders]

Uploading video!
New rulebook looks AWESOME

[Eric’s boardgame @RuinsRaiders]

Rulebook unboxing video hopefully later today!

Update! Of course the "final boss" happened in the room where we finally found the master chest, just as a trap was triggered, sealing off Adelia from her fellow explorer, Gilbert. Adelia raced through and Gilbert went around, chased by two mummies and two surprise characters

[Eric’s boardgame @RuinsRaiders]

Doing another digital playtest using Roll20... I keep finding rooms but no "master chest." There's a chance my team won't make it out alive by the time the trap deck runs out...

@inthelineofmel Sorry about Oklahoma but don’t take it out on the Hokies 😂

[Eric’s boardgame @RuinsRaiders]

Trying out the game on https://t.co/bnX1nZtHcW ... thinking I could offer a graphics pack on the marketplace as an easy way to jump into the game? Also, Roll20 supports online play (if anyone is interested in testing out the game) and background music! 😊🎵

[Eric’s boardgame @RuinsRaiders]

Rulebook 95% done! Later on I’ll give it a once over to make sure I lined everything up correctly. Then... test print!

[Eric’s boardgame @RuinsRaiders]

@glasscannonpod @troylavallee @paizo That was AWESOME

[Eric’s boardgame @RuinsRaiders]

@inthelineofmel Did you tell them man has been given dominion over all the beasts

[Eric’s boardgame @RuinsRaiders]

Someone will always choose to betray the rest of the table 👹

[Eric’s boardgame @RuinsRaiders]

@CptJW_Shinbones The little sun symbol is the initiative bonus as well as the healer’s healing bonus +1d6

[Eric’s boardgame @RuinsRaiders]

Trying a DnD battle system using LOTR cards... lower dice pictured is health. Upper dice pictured is damage roll plus the “axe” modifier depicted on the card. For balance I’m going to make Eleanor a cleric.

[Eric’s boardgame @RuinsRaiders]

@CptJW_Shinbones It worked out really well: AC is 10+the red number on the card and their shield bonus on the card. Damage dice based on usual damage from DnD axe, sword, etc + the axe icon on the card
