In Warriors, you’re meeting your enemies in battle.
There are two supplements:
Restless Ambition adapts Caravan Guards to three different circumstances: a necromancer trying to summon, enslave, or defeat a powerful ghost; a lover trying to keep a forbidden tryst; and one wronged seeking redress or revenge.
Roleplaying in the Ruins of the Future recommends stringing the games together, cultivating the skills of play, and creating new Sundered Land games of your own. It also includes a ludography and thanks.
The games are mutually compatible and overlapping, but self-contained. Each game plays in 20-60 minutes. You can play them in whatever order you like. You can bring the character from one game into the next, or create a new character whenever you like. Each of the games has a GM, but you should take turns from game to game to game.
