This 24 page document represents the distilled core rules of Kard és Mágia, my homebrew old school OGL variant. It's a radio show called Castles and Cauldrons, with a special introduction from James Dobson, warning you kiddies about the dangers of those role-playing games and their non-Christian magic and mysticism, which will lead them into contact with demons and satanism. I did, however, run into some difficulty at the end when it transpired that the Warlock's treasure chest requires three keys to open, not two as the introduction implies. What would be a good introduction nowadays? Fighting Fantasy: The Warlock Of Firetop Mountain, developed by Laughing Jackal, can best be described as an interactive Choose Your Own Path adventure book, which makes sense as that's what this game is based on.

This meant that Jackson and Livingstone could dispense with almost all of the considerations that would inform the design of a conventional RPG - coming up with statistics for the effectiveness of different types of weapons and armour, devising spot rules for dealing with unusual situations, and so on . Oh, in between Fighting Fantasy RPG and actual AD&D, age 12 at boarding school I/we played a lot of a simple d6-based system I & a guy called Ross Martin made up, which turned out to be nearly identical to Warhammer. It's a two-parter, with summaries of Part 1 It's annoying because it ties into the toxic masculinity that REAL MEN are out playing sports or getting in fights or shooting animals or trolling for ass. Fighting Fantasy: The Introductory Role-Playing Game was the first RPG I ever played. FF: The Warlock Of Firetop Mountain was the first Fighting Fantasy book written It is clear from the outset that FF: The Warlock of Firetop Mountain is a traditional RPG.
