Man, Myth & Magic

Description

A Roleplaying Game of Man’s Greatest Adventures This fantasy roleplaying game is set in the ancient world, one not seen from our modern historical perceptions, rather through the eyes of the people who lived there. It is a world filled with magic and sorcery, demons and monsters, and incredible powers and forces that hold the key to the domination of all mankind. Begin play as a seasoned gladiator fighting for your very life on the bloody sands of a Roman arena. Then, reincarnate as an Egyptian sorcerer, British druid, Greek merchant, Visigoth barbarian, or even a Hibernian Leprechaun to face the might and mysteries of the ancient world. The Basic game is presented in such a way that you learn as you play for the first time. The Advanced game is rich and varied, providing countless hours of breathtaking magic, mystery, and adventure. While the exciting adventures may be played separately, each is but an episode in an interrelated series filled with challenges, intrigue, and irony. In addition to the learn-as-you-go introductory Basic adventure, there are five additional episodes: Back to the Warren (Basic) The Dragon Loose in Rome (Episode 1 of the Advanced Adventure) Apollo's Temple (Episode 2 of the Advanced Adventure) The Witches of Lolag Shlige (Episode 3 of the Advanced Adventure) The Great Pyramid (Episode 4 of the Advanced Adventure) Man, Myth & Magic Box Set Book I: The Basic Rulebook Credits Table of Contents Introduction The Gate of Life Swings Open Role Play: Your Key to the Arena The Birth of a Gladiator Reading the Dice Basic Characteristics Gladiator Names Training Gladiators in the Gallicus Gladiator's Inheritance The Journey to the Gallows Unarmed Combat Rules Game Mastering Begins Map: Plan of Warren First Encounters Key to the Plan Encounters The Gallicus Gallicus Interior Map: Plan of Gallicus Training Begins Choice of Gladiator Class Gladiator Types (Chart) Weapon Strategy Into the Labyrinth Encounters Traps Solo Group Exit Map: Training Labyrinth The Great Roman Games Death in the Arena Arranging the Games Contests Risks Rewards Thumbs Up Experience Ability Increase Combat Movement Aim of the Game Special Rules Battle Battle Royal Battle Beasts Let the Games Begin!
