Summary

Beyond the veil of reality， beyond the influence of manipulating politicians， greedy merchants， iron-handed clergy， and the broken masses that toil for their benefi？t， echoes of other realms call to those bold enough， and desperate enough， to escape the oppression of mundane life。 Treasure and glory await those courageous enough to wrest it from the darkness。 But the danger is great， for lurking in the forgotten shadows are forces far stranger and more perilous than even civilization。 The price of freedom might be paid in souls。 LotFP: Weird Fantasy Role-Playing presents a sinister and horrific twist on traditional fantasy gaming。 Simple enough for a beginner yet meaty enough for the veteran， this game will make all your worst nightmares come true。 This book is a revision of the Rules & Magic book originally found in the LotFP: Weird Fantasy Role-Playing boxed set。 It contains all the rules needed to play the game。 （Explicit Content: Recommended for ages 18+）

The black metal of OSR games。 It's good， but not the best， I feel。 Too much growling， not enough melody。 The black metal of OSR games。 It's good， but not the best， I feel。 Too much growling， not enough melody。 。。。more

This is， no doubt， the best RPG out there nowadays; it's even better than Call of Cthulhu （and， believe me， nothing is better than Call of Cthulhu） and Mage the Ascension （and， believe in me， nothing is better than Mage the Ascension。） （excepto LotFP。）Imagine classic D&D。 Now take away everything that was bad about D&D， which was a lot but not everything， and add a weird and pulp mood from HP Lovecraft， RE Howard's Solomon Kane， the Evil Dead series， Dario Argento， early Clive Barker， Junji Ito， This is， no doubt， the best RPG out there nowadays; it's even better than Call of Cthulhu （and， believe me， nothing is better than Call of Cthulhu） and Mage the Ascension （and， believe in me， nothing is better than Mage the Ascension。） （excepto LotFP。）Imagine classic D&D。 Now take away everything that was bad about D&D， which was a lot but not everything， and add a weird and pulp mood from HP Lovecraft， RE Howard's Solomon Kane， the Evil Dead series， Dario Argento， early Clive Barker， Junji Ito， Morrison's Doom Patrol， Heavy Metal， and female fighters in reasonable armor （chainmail bikini， that is）。 Add real-world early-Modern Europe， and the best supplements ever mafe for a game （Vorneheim， Veins of the Earth， Qelong） and ask yourself: "What am I doing reading this when I should be ordering this book？" 。。。more

A solid OSR game in most respects。 I like the streamlined classes and the black powder equipment rules。 The alignment rules are also interesting。 Less impressed with the magic。 The absence of boom boom spells is fine but some of the new options look mechanically very suspect and unlikely to see use。

My favorite OSR game system， very much in the vein of the OD&D boxed sets but with a number of little tweaks to give it personality。 Also love that this was originally the title of the author's metal zine （I had a couple issues way back in the 90s）， and that the game strives to capture the weird horror and fantasy aesthetics of the 70s and 80s that I so love。 Smooth， simple to teach， but as good and clear as the rules are here， the strength lies in the adventures。。。which are often amazing and al My favorite OSR game system， very much in the vein of the OD&D boxed sets but with a number of little tweaks to give it personality。 Also love that this was originally the title of the author's metal zine （I had a couple issues way back in the 90s）， and that the game strives to capture the weird horror and fantasy aesthetics of the 70s and 80s that I so love。 Smooth， simple to teach， but as good and clear as the rules are here， the strength lies in the adventures。。。which are often amazing and almost always bizarre。 As someone who rarely even runs pre-published adventures and campaigns， I think the LotFP modules are among the best in the entire medium， at least for those into dark historical or weird fantasy with a healthy dose of nostalgia for old D&D editions。 The Flame Princess herself is also a great mascot。（Chris Gonnerman's Basic Fantasy-Roleplaying game is another quality OD&D knockoff I'd recommend if you have a younger crowd， and it's extremely inexpensive to purchase）。 。。。more

You know those takes on superheroes in the real world， like Watchmen or Wild Cards？ This is it for heroic fantasy。First off: no fireballs。 Yeah。 The spells and magic rules in the world of Lamentations are as bad for you as they are for your foes。 No over-the-top badass sorcery。 Plenty of rituals and spells and rules for invocations that will fuck you up （pardon my French）。The rules of the game are meant to make deadly incursions into the unknown。 Get used to profuse bleeding （and death）， rotting You know those takes on superheroes in the real world， like Watchmen or Wild Cards？ This is it for heroic fantasy。First off: no fireballs。 Yeah。 The spells and magic rules in the world of Lamentations are as bad for you as they are for your foes。 No over-the-top badass sorcery。 Plenty of rituals and spells and rules for invocations that will fuck you up （pardon my French）。The rules of the game are meant to make deadly incursions into the unknown。 Get used to profuse bleeding （and death）， rotting diseases （and death）， and incapacitating traps （and death）。 Yet， they're very elegant， a veritable modern take on the 80s clunky fantasy game engines。 It balances old-school feel with the modern need for streamlined game rules。 It's as close to a perfect equilibrium as I've seen。Just keep in mind the slowly rotting heads at the header as you flip through the book in case in lose track of the theme of this game。 。。。more

My favorite rpg to date。 Great combination of old and new rules。 Best magic system by far。 Low hit points， great in-between adventuring rules， and everything else。
