Meet the Crafters

We’re a husband-and-wife team of creators with a shared love for storytelling, imagination, and things made by hand. At Crafters of the Realm, we combine two passions: the thrill of tabletop gaming and the magic of handmade art.

It all started with a bold idea: a new kind of game built around mysterious symbols, strategic tension, and cosmic intrigue. That idea became RUUNS, and with it came a growing universe of crafted wonders: from gameplay to jewelry, intricate components to 3D-printed designs. Every piece we make is part of that world: thoughtful, textured, and meant to be experienced.

The Inventor

Paul

Game designer, rulebreaker, and sci-fi strategist, Paul is the mind behind RUUNS.

With a lifelong love of science fiction, puzzles, and unconventional play, he began building RUUNS as a personal project: a game that could feel ancient, mysterious, and tactical all at once.

Paul developed every mechanic from scratch, obsessing over balance, tension, and replayability. He prototyped the game over countless nights at the drawing board, using 3D printing and custom design to bring the unique pieces to life.

RUUNS is his passion project made real, and it’s only the beginning of what he hopes to create.

The Maker

Lexi

A dreamer driven by the wonder of science fiction and the power of storytelling, Lexi saw the potential in RUUNS from the moment Paul first showed it to her.

She is the one who nudged Paul to stop tinkering in the shadows and bring his game to the world. While Paul focused on the mechanics, Lexi was the spark behind taking RUUNS public.

She’s also the creative force behind Crafters of the Realm’s line of handmade jewelry, crafting one-of-a-kind pieces from resin, polymer clay, semi-precious stones, and beads.

Her work draws from her love of fantasy, nature, and imagination, adding a touch of wearable magic to the Realm.
