Epic Stories. Simple Gameplay. There and Hack Again is a tabletop roleplaying game inspired by the works of J.R.R. Tolkien and other fantasy luminaries like Lloyd Alexander, Terry Brooks, Robert Jordan, and Ursula K. Le Guin. Using a version of David Black’s brilliant Black Hack tailored for epic fantasy gaming, There and Hack Again brings a fast playing, modern ruleset to classic fantasy. There and Hack Again is a complete game that includes everything you need to play epic fantasy adventures. Within its pages you will find rules for creating heroes and developing them over time, plus rules for combat, adventuring, magic, spellcasting, and taking dangerous journeys through the wild places of the world. The book also includes an assortment of adversaries, a simple method for handling treasure and wealth, a collection of unique magic items and guidelines for creating your own, and advice for playing and running a classic fantasy game. And for those familiar with our sword and sorcery game, By This Axe I Hack!, this game uses an almost identical ruleset. Characters, monsters, magic spells, and most rules are strongly compatible and interchangable between games. Where there are differences, they are there to support the feel of a epic fantasy adventure rather than a pulp sword and sorcery yarn. - from the publisher's blurb
