	Atlantis role playing games Atlantis: The Lost World (Bard Edition) \| Atlantis: The Lost World (Death's Edge reprints) Atlantis From the works of Plato to the recent Disney movie, Atlantis seems to mean something different for everyone. In that vein, several game companies have spelt out their interpretations in role playing games. GURPS Atlantis "Long ago, beyond the edge of the world, a great empire grew decadent... and sank forever beneath the waves. The Lost Land; the Sunken City; the Ancient Birthplace of Secrets. It has haunted our dreams since the days of ancient Greece. In some of those dreams, the Lost Land is still out there. Written by Phil Masters (GURPS Discworld), this is a gamer's guide to the story, the history, and the myth. GURPS Atlantis includes rules for underwater operations, stats for a wide range of submarines, and no less than three campaign backgrounds - one high fantasy, one conspiratorial, and one for steampunk or superhero games." 2002 ... 128 pages ...

For use with Dungeons & Dragons, 3rd Edition. "Legends speak of a time before history, of a great island empire whose people wielded powerful magic and technology, ruling much of the world. Their pride proved their undoing, and Atlantis sank beneath the sea in a single night. Twilight of Atlantis is a sourcebook detailing this once-great people, drawn from the writing of Plato. New races such as the Bastai cat-warriors and the Atlanteans appear, new prestige classes (Artificer, Orphean, Resonant, Spellbane) and six new feats to use with them. A whole new approach to magic - that of the resonance, powered by the mystical metal orichalcum - is provided, with 10 new spells. Join the adventure today, attempting to overthrow or rescue Atlantis' great empire." 2001 ... 48 pages ... Avalanche Press ... ISBN 0970796145 Buy at Amazon Atlantis: The Lost World - Bard Publications Also from Bard Publications: 'Compleat' FRPG Supplements and Talislanta The Arcanum "The Arcanum, the core rulebook for the Atlantean system, is quite possibly the finest of the old-style RPG books ever written. The author, Stephen Michael Sechi, went on to write the excellent Talislanta system, based around the incredibly detailed world of Talislanta. The Arcanum has many connections to the later world of Talislanta, but retains its own particular flavor. Noteworthy in this book is that it incorporates both the concept of a level-driven system and that of a skill-based system, something quite uncommon in RPGs (of those in its era, only Rolemaster did something similar). Its basic mechanics, however, are FAR easier than Rolemaster's, more consistent than that of TSR's Dungeons and Dragons series, and overall actually more comprehensive as well. The Arcanum divides magic into many different schools, provides a multitude of different classes and skills, and in addition gives rules for alchemy (a compressed version of those found in The Compleat Alchemist), lists of interesting magical items, and a myriad of playable races; some, like the Druas, Beastmen, and Aesir, are extremely unusual and interesting. One of my all-time favorites in the roleplaying field, The Arcanum has been one of my mainstays for a decade and a half of play. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in fantasy roleplaying games." ...an anonymous Amazon user This book is the first part of the Atlantean Trilogy, released in 1984 (with a 2nd edition in 1985).
