Hey everyone,
After over a year of work, I’m excited (and a little nervous) to share the beta release of my indie tabletop skirmish game: Ruinstars.
- Website & Rules: https://ruinstars.com/
- Free Web App: Build and track squads right in your browser
- Core Rulebook: Streamlined D6-based engine, miniatures-agnostic, solo and PvP support
- Tone: Grimdark sci-fi with a cosmic horror edge, black-ops squads carrying out doomed missions across a dying galaxy.
What Is This Game?
Ruinstars is an open-source, fast-paced, miniatures-agnostic tabletop skirmish game set during the final age of the galaxy where players control small elite squads of operatives, alien horrors, or corrupted post-human factions.
Players command small, hardened squads in high-lethality black ops missions across fractured star systems.
- Designed to be easy to learn, quick to play, hard to master
- Bring your own minis or proxy with what you have
- Focus on named units, permanent death, and campaign escalation
- Built-in squad tracker + mission log via the web app
Why Am I Posting This?
The rules and app are in open beta, and I'm looking for:
- Playtesting feedback (rules, UI, balance, fun factor)
- Community thoughts on theme, factions, usability
- Anyone who loves Kill Team, Stargrave, or indie wargames to give it a shot
No paywall, no ads, no nonsense, just a passion project I hope others will enjoy.
Thanks for reading! I’m happy to answer any questions or discuss mechanics in the comments!
I got a Bosch last year, simple setup, no IoT bullshit, just works, quiet. For what it's worth, the guy who installed it told me "I install new dishwashers and remove old ones in the process all the time. I've never had to remove a Bosch dishwasher".
