This game is Dungeons and Dragons turned up to 11! This heavy-metal flavored fantasy game is what Gygax and Arneson would have written if they had 30 years of RPG game design under their belt in 1974.

The Third Edition of D&D (the same edition that Pathfinder is based on) is the underpinning to this thrill ride. Some of the awesome OSR flavor that this game oozes:

  • 3d6 in order stat generation. No swaps, no rolling 4d6, no mulligans.
  • High PC mortality. Everyone starts with 4 PCs, with the assumption a few will die during the 1st adventure.
  • Each arcane magic spell is customized per wizard using the Mercurial Magic rules.
  • Every spell has its own d20 based chart the spellcaster rolls on to determine effect, with higher spell rolls producing bigger, more powerful effects.
  • Powerful demi-gods and demons that take a direct interest in the PCs. The PCs may choose to Bond with these Patrons.
  • Charisma stat is replaced with Luck stat that PCs can (permanently!) burn to make important rolls.
  • Amazing adventure support that keeps the PCs on their toes. No boring empty rooms, bland orc fights, or lame 2000 copper treasures.
  • Righteous GM advice to run engaging and fantastic games.
  • Classic style art all throughout the nearly 500 page tome. Each picture is a dozen adventures! :)
  • Moar dice! Uses standard polyhedrals plus d3, d5, d7, d14. d16, d24, and d30 in a brilliant dice chain mechanic.

I chose this game over Pathfinder, DnD Next, and 13th Age. It gets to the core of what I love without giant skill lists or feat trees. Buy this game!
