Cairn is an adventure game about exploring a dark and mysterious Wood filled with strange folk, hidden treasure, and unspeakable monstrosities. Character generation is quick and random, adventures are tense and reward careful exploration, and combat is frantic and deadly.

The game was written by [Yochai Gal](https://newschoolrevolution.com).

The **Warden’s Guide** includes tools, tables, and advice for running Cairn, with procedures to generate content that fits into the Vald setting or any fantasy world of your imagining. The following chapters offer resources and detailed instructions for creating immersive adventures, with an emphasis on dynamic gameplay and rich worldbuilding. It is our hope that with these pages anyone can craft unique, challenging experiences that engage and captivate players.

The **Barebones Edition** removes the implied setting and structured creation process of the full game. It assumes a generic fantasy world, embracing full randomness, much like the original&nbsp;_Cairn_. It retains full compatibility with&nbsp;_Cairn Second Edition_&nbsp;adventures but offers an even more minimal, flexible framework for old-school play.
