BROWSE THE FANTASY TRIP ITEMS CURRENTLY IN STOCK "THE FANTASY TRIP is killing monsters, finding treasure, braving danger, joining quests, conjuring magic, and exploring the unknown — the romance and mystery life should be, THE FANTASY TRIP frees your imagination for an evening of fun and adventure. It's the role-playing game for the 80's - the one you've waited for. The Fantasy Trip developed in the way of many early role playing games: Accretion. Melee and Wizard laid out the basic combat and magic rules. In the Labyrinth developed TFT into a full-fledged roleplaying system. Numerous accessory books and adventures came later.   Melee (MicroGame 3) "Components include: Rule booklet * 8½" x 14" arena map * 68 counters for men, beasts, and monsters. MELEE is a game of man-to-man combat with archaic weapons. Each counter represents a single warrior, with his own individually determined strength and dexterity. Players choose weapons and tactics for their fighters, and send them into combat against men, beasts, or monsters... to victory or death. MELEE is part of The Fantasy Trip, Metagaming's new fantasy role-playing system. It can be used as a combat system for any other fantasy game — or you can play out individual combats for their own sake. MELEE takes swordplay out of the books and onto the gameboard. Choose your weapons; don your armor. The MELEE is about to begin..." 1977, 1979, 1981 ... 17 pages + 68 counters + map ... MG 3103 Check Wayne's Books Inventory   Wizard (MicroGame 6)

"A WARRIOR'S PARADISE... The Province of Darok is no place for a refined, urbane sophisticate. It's a primitive paradise, where brute strength and fighting prowess are viewed as the true measure of a man. A place where a bold and fearless warrior can gain great influence or prestige, or even enter the test of challenge combat to become commander of all Darok. Darok welcomes the brave, cowards begone! Although warriors rule the province, there are many other exciting groups of characters to be encountered in Darok. There's the cult of Akhora, the worshippers of the god of war and fire who control the practice of magic in the province. It's even whispered that the seductive Akhoran High Priestess Aleth-aan has enchanted the king. Or, you might meet the rugged clansmen of the plains, who make their living by capturing and breaking the wild horses found there. In this book players can journey to fabled Skytop, to find and tame one of the great winged steeds that reside there -- join a trail drive across the Plains of the Stallions -- or hunt for buried treasure in the war-torn borderland.
