Citizen!
The burgeoning Ruman Empire needs your help bringing civilization to the savages.

Ruma: Dawn of Empire is a tabletop roleplaying game set in an alternate Roman Empire where myth and magic are real. The Empire has just begun to push its borders into neighboring lands, only to be met by savage barbarians, murderous beasts, magical forests, and strange horrors. Ruman generals and senators have formed small cohorts of specialized troops to discover and counter these threats. You and your friends are members of such a cohort.

For the Empire!

About the author

Martin was corrupted early by his older brother’s interests in Heavy Metal and Dungeons and Dragons, and enjoyed reading as a child (Tolkien, Eddings, Salvatore, Weis and Hickman were some favorites). After becoming enthralled with the appendices of The Lord of the Rings, Martin rel-ished building worlds and constructing languages. He drew maps of far-away places and labeled them with strange characters, even going so far as creating fantasy tax forms after he found a 1040EZ at the local library. Mar-tin started Azure Keep in 2017 to bring great games and fiction to life.

His first works, the Ruma: Dawn of Empire role playing game, and the Tales of Ruma anthology (as editor and contributor), can be found on AzureKeep.com.
