From the introduction: Hello, and welcome to Time Wizards: The Sober and Serious Edition, a game for serious individuals with serious lives. At least, by the standards of Time Wizards players, which is sort of like saying "a particularly Chaotic sort of paladin" or "a very healthy lich". As the name might somewhat jokingly suggest, Sober and Serious Edition is an attempt at producing a game with similar potential for shenanigans as traditional Time Wizards while being more accessible to a general tabletop audience. User summary: This revised and largely re-written version of the game primarily is based on Time Wizards Revised First Edition, minus the idiosyncratic "dice slap" rules. It was published in October 2015.
