"Man's greatest joy is to slay his enemy, plunder his riches, ride his steeds, see the tears of his loved ones and embrace his women."
- Genghis Khan
The Great Tartarian Empire, whose reach and age is beyond human reckoning, has fallen. Her cities are burning, her army is fighting itself, and her lands are overrun by monsters of her own creation. So, what is a poor barbarian of the neighboring lands to do? Slay & Plunder!
Though heavily influenced by and highly compatible with the well-known classic roleplaying game of the mid 70's and its early successors, Slay & Plunder is a complete rewrite built around a single, 2d6 mechanic.
In the 60 page standalone rulebook, you get...
- Four classes of barbarian adventurer: cleric, fighter, magic-user, and thief
- Spells and monsters culled from Germanic and Slavic folklore
- Various bits inspired by sword & sorcery fiction and art
- Original artwork by MUSTAFA BEKIR and STEFAN POAG
- Expert layout and indexing by GLYNN SEAL
- 8.5" x 11" format
- Stats for a war yak
- Rules that differ somewhat from other OSR games. Don't miss out!
