New in The Mark III Revision

The Mark III Revision of the Game Manual streamlines the game more while retaining Epic's tactical options. Among the highlights of the Mark III Revision:

• Vital Attributes: they now range from -10 to 10. VAs in the range of -2 to 2 are considered average, while -10 and 10 represent the extreme ranges of human variation. VAs now more directly modify facets of play, and VA rolls have been given a more robust functionality becuase they scale just like skills.
• Skill Progression: Progression rolls for skill advancement take the place of adding and tracking experience, and are directly linked to important moments of play in the game.
• Simpler Tactical Play: Attack rolls now directly affect damage and the damage roll has been removed, greatly streamlining the combat experience.
• And more!

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!
