Originally created as Runeterra RPGthe system was renamed to Runarcana In 2020, the system's versioning was modified (it had previously been at version 1.2); it was renamed Runarcana RPG, and version 0.9 was released. Currently, the system is at version 0.95.

With the exception of versions 0.9 and 0.91, all other versions have their changes documented in the Patch Notes.

Currently, Runarcana does not have an updated PDF, only the wiki. We will have a version 1.0 PDF once the system is ready.

PDF versions of Runarcana existed in the past; while these versions still exist and can be downloaded online, they are no longer officially provided, nor do we offer support for them.

Below are two Google Docs documents containing the styles used for Runarcana content.

The idea is to encourage you not only to create content for Runarcana but also to adopt a style similar to the one used there.

There are two versions of this style guide—a light one and a dark one—so you can use whichever you find more appealing.

When opening one of these documents, follow the instructions in the image by clicking on File > Make a copy; this way, you create a copy of the file in your own Drive and can use it however you see fit.

Runarcana is a free project, but it comes with costs. Support helps the creator of Runarcana (me) pay bills and continue developing projects like Runarcana.

During the creation of Runarcana RPG we came to the conclusion that the class of Paladin (who would call himself Defender) of the 5th edition was very strange having divine powers but not being linked to a deity, making them something like Warrior (Combatants) with magic, something that didn't make sense to be an exclusive class and even so without much logic in Runeterra. With this, what would be the Paladin is as much in some subclasses of Combatant as in Acólito, with greater thematic cohesion.
The Warlock was released in version 1.1 (as Mystic) but was removed in version 1.2 for a similar reason to Paladin. When we look at the general experience with the Warlock in the 5th edition, we realize that most of them were only used as part of multiclass combos and still with Xanathar material. For Runeterra we created a better solution that was to dissolve it in the Runessence of the Mystic of Pacts, something that works better for the same purpose and has better thematic coherence.

There were several characteristics of the 5th edition that we didn't like and one of them was the little diversity among the subclasses/ archetypes, that was provided by the "spaces" of characteristics that were filled by them, so we defined that we would enlarge these spaces by removing "class" characteristics and putting as subclass characteristics.
With this decision, our material would still be compatible with the 5th edition, but in a smaller proportion, so we thought it better to change the name of the classes so as not to be confused with the original classes and not to create conflicts of homebrew subclasses with fewer characteristics.
