  • Magic Realm Rules 3.1 Deluxe
    The unofficial, updated THIRD EDITION of the Magic Realm Rules Welcome to the MAGIC REALM. MAGIC REALM is a game of fantasy adventuring, set in a land filled with monsters, fabulous treasures, great warriors and magicians. The scene is set in the ruins of a mighty kingdom, now inhabited by sparse groups of natives and swarms of monsters. Beneath it all are the rich remnants of a magical civilization, scattered and lost across the map. To this scene come the adventurers, seekers of riches and fame, to make a name for themselves in this promising field. Swordsman and Dwarf, Magician and Sorceror, the humans and the half-humans come seeking to loot the legendary riches of a lost civilization. Now you can play the part of one of these adventurers, stepping into an unknown Realm of magic and monsters, battles and treasures. As a player, you will take on the role of one of the sixteen major characters who are represented in detail in the game. You will control where he goes, what he tries to do, how he handles himself in combat and much more. In the course of the game you will run into deadly monsters, tribes of humans ranging from old friends to sworn enemies, and treasures that will enhance your abilities in many ways. MAGIC REALM is a complex game designed to recapture the suspense and desperate struggles of fantasy literature. The game creates a small but complete fantasy world, where each game is a new adventure with a new map where everything lies hidden at new locations.

    — The Magazine of Fantasy, Swords & Sorcery, and Science Fiction Game Playing— A non-wargaming friend of mine recently asked me why I did this; why did I put all my effort into this line of work? What did I perceive my endeavors to be? Part of this curiosity stems from the fact that this person has no inkling of what games are all about, in our context of gaming. He still clings to the shibboleth that wargamers are classic cases of arrested de- velopment, never having gotten out of the sandbox and toy soldiers syndrome of childhood. He couldn’t perceive the function of a magazine about game-playing. This is what I told him: Magazines exist to disseminate information.

    July, 1980 The Dragon The Dragon Vol. V, No. 1 among you, Bill Fawcett presents an overview of the types of bows used in real life and how their characteristics apply for gaming purposes. In the “charts and tables” department, Carl Parlagreco has prepared a new system for determining and describing the controversial phenomena of critical hits and fumbles. Remember the little spacemen we pictured in TD-34 with a request to readers for information about their origin? Well, we got some answers, and TD staff member Bryce Knorr played “private t may seem like an uncomplimentary thing to say about eye” to provide a solution to the mystery, which is almost as authen- ourselves, but it does seem as though The Dragon resem- tic as it is amusing.
