How Do I Start Playing?

Visit our online store or visit your local hobby shop and purchase the Epic RPG manuals: The Game Manual, Bestiary, and Atlas of Eslin. To begin, you'll also need to grab: some friends to assemble your gaming group - we recommend three to seven - some ten-sided dice, pencils and paper, plus mounds of chips and salsa. For the technically minded, computers are also fantastic for providing organization and even adventuring soundtracks. Then, craft your characters as detailed in the Game Manual and send them into legend!

A Short FAQ

Epic Role Playing is flexible and realistic, yet with enough opportunities for death-defying heroism to satisfy the wildest imagination. The highlights of Epic Role Playing include a tactical and fast-paced combat system that integrates stealth and magic directly into the strategic options available to characters. It uses a streamlined and intuitive game structure with a 10-sided die mechanic.

Epic Role Playing uses a unique and expansive magic system replete with non-standard disciplines, such as the arcane science called metaphysics and the body magic known as shen, that integrate smoothly into the skill and tactical system.

Character design uses professions that are defined directly from the society of the campaign setting to provide unique characters that have a cultural context from day one. With the flexible skill system offering a diverse multitude of special abilities and directions for maturation, only you (not a rigid game system) will control your character's growth.

Our campaign world designed for Epic Role Playing, Eslin, provides numerous richly detailed non-standard fantasy settings (no stock elves and dwarves here). Of course, Epic Role Playing is a modular system and is designed to be adaptable to your custom campaign world with ease.
