Talislanta


A post-magical-apocalypse fantasy game set on an original fantasy world. Powerful pre-disaster magic can be found¸ while there is also the menace of barbaric sub-men. There are no elves or dwarves (a tag line for the game). Character creation is by picking from a large set of templates. Action resolution is similar to D&D. cf. theofficial website. - A description from https://darkshire.net/jhkim/rpg/encyclopedia/ with kind permission of John H. Kim
