Official Eldiron Ruleset
Eldiron v0.91.0 introduces the first official ruleset direction for shared fantasy RPG behavior. Races, classes, weapons, armor, spells, cooldowns, progression, item visuals, economy, resources, and starter loadouts now have a common source of truth, while projects can still override and customize the rules they need.

Build text-based adventures in the same world

Focused workflows inside the editor
From fast dungeon blockouts to procedural tiles and narrative authoring, these tools shape the way worlds come together in Eldiron.
Simulation Modes
Choose realtime play, fully turn-based stepping, or a hybrid mode that advances on player action and then continues after an idle timeout. This lets the same project support active RPG movement, deliberate tile-by-tile tactics, or Ultima-style pacing.
