Runebearer is a free fantasy roleplaying game that has been around in some form or another for about 10 years. The game is an amalgam of systems and playstyles that my gaming groups and I have enjoyed over the years. If you are a fan of the Hero System, GURPS, Rolemaster, or d20, you will likely find something to like about Runebearer.
