Rulebooks for Ultima: Resurrection and its expansion, Age of Shadows, as well as character sheets, a quick reference card, and the bestiary of Britannia.
Some years ago — 1998, to be specific, shortly after the release of Ultima Online — Resurrection Dragon decided to merge his love of tabletop role-playing games and his love of Ultima into — what else? — a tabletop role-playing game based on the lore and universe of the Ultima series.
Over the course of several years, after the game’s rules were posted online, Ultima: Resurrection attracted a small collection of fans, testers, and players; Quill Dragon and Rizban of Morn were particularly active members of the Resurrection community, and even wrote new content for the game during their time playing it. However, around 2004, the free service that was being used to host the website for the game was taken offline, and the game’s files became difficult (at best) to obtain.
However, in 2016, Resurrection Dragon rediscovered his copies of the game’s documentation, and set up a new website to host them at. Some of the documents have seen some revision since 2004, whereas others are in the same state as they were over a decade ago. Two rulebooks — one for the base game and one for its player-written Age of Shadows expansion — are available, as well as sample character sheets, a quick reference card, a bestiary, and other supplementary information.
