Runestar: Origins

Based on the Dwarves-in-Space setting from the Runestar micro-RPG (pdf, rpggeek), this game is meant to tell the tale of the origins of the space-faring society through a dungeon-delving Rougelike.

This game began as a 7DRL game, starting from the rote-js "Pedro" demo, and included many modifications to the rote-js libraries along the way.
