The Landshut Rules

from the designer's blog: Before Gary Gygax published DnD in 1974, there already were people playing roleplaying games. Back in the days, the distinction between rpgs and wargames ("kriegsspiele") was non-existent. It was a fresh, fun, and freewheeling kind of game, and rule systems that players could follow simply hadn't been created yet. So, each group wrote their own rules and rulings. The Landshut Rules aim at exactly that kind of game. With the Landshut Rules, you can play on any world of your imagination. user summary: A set of light roleplaying rules based on accounts of how Dave Arneson and Phil Barker ran their game sessions. The rules are generic; a quick guide to adapting a published rpg setting is included. Also includes Free Kriegsspiel for mass combat.
