Animonde

Designed by the noted French designer Croc, and drawing on the themes in "La Planete Oubliee" by M. Leinster, Animonde is a fantasy RPG set in a world without metal, and where animals and humans have a harmonious, symbiotic relationship. The game is intended to be non-violent, with the players using persuasion and intimidation instead of direct violence (although it is possible). Written in French, with a very poetic, idyllic, fantastic world, and derived from Croc's previous RPG Bitume, Animonde was published by Siroz in 1988, and it's non-violent approach was in stark contrast to the hack & slash genres dominating the market, leading to an inevitable cancellation of the game. - user summary -
