Seek Adventure!

“I CAME SEEKING ADVENTURE… AND I FOUND CAPHARNAUM…

It called to me with its ancient gods and enmities, its mysterious quests, desert caravans, and dusty souks. I was tracking a djinn, one of the worst, a marid risen in rebellion against Marduk the Dragon. In the depths of the desert I had a vision of a thousand warriors crossing this scorching land. Here everything is in motion, wind and sand, and the night has a thousand colours. Everything is struggle – even for those who seek a peaceful life…”

The Mark of the Dragon!

You bear the Dragon Mark. You are destined for great things, adventures where you’ll write the history of the world.

In a land of mysteries and magic, where East meets West on the burning sands of Jazirat, your future awaits.

Discover a whole new world, confront djinn, gods, and dragons, and take your place among the heroes of the age!

“Honestly, this looks set to become one of my new favourite games. I give it a 5 of 5 for Substance.” — RPG.net review

Created by Sarah Newton, author of the ENnie award-winning Mindjammer roleplaying game, Monsters & Magic features old school fantasy with new school play, letting you play your beloved old 1st edition modules and campaigns using this modern rules set with an old school vibe—with little or no conversion!

Combining the atmosphere of classic fantasy games with modern RPG mechanics, Monsters & Magic lets you use old school fantasy gaming material with little or no conversion with a new and innovative set of rules. Battle giants, defeat dragons, explore deadly dungeons and mysterious wilderlands—and bring your favourite adventures, supplements, spellbooks, and bestiaries to brilliant new life!

Monsters & Magic features:

• the Effect Engine, a modular open-license rules system
• action-packed adventure from 1st to 20th level and beyond
• rules for castles, kingdoms, guilds, and warships
• Silvermoon, an introductory adventure for levels 1-4
• new rules for alignment, hazards, encounters, treasures, epic and mythic gaming, and more!
• 140 pages, black & white interior.

Dust off your spell book, polish that suit of +1 plate armour, and unsheathe your vorpal blade. Adventure awaits!

Monsters & Magic is a complete fantasy roleplaying game—you need nothing else to play. However, please note that while Monsters & Magic is a standalone game, featuring rules which can take you to 20th level and beyond, it’s also specifically designed to work with your favourite classic fantasy bestiaries and spell books. As such, it contains 1st and 2nd level spells and just over 20 sample monsters—enough to cater for your first 4 or so levels of play. Although the rules can take you much further, you’ll want to use your own classic bestiaries or spellbooks for higher level characters, or any of those available for free online!

Keep an eye out for our other Monsters & Magic products now in development, including:

• All Under Heaven — Oriental Monsters & Magic (coming soon!)
• The Heroic Companion — Hero Scale Adventures for Monsters & Magic.
• The Horror of Haugling Hall — a Monsters & Magic adventure for levels 1-4.

We hope you’ll take the chance to enjoy this brand new printed version of this classic fantasy roleplaying game and look out for more great Monsters & Magic titles appearing soon!
