Mazes & Minotaurs Players Manual

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Mazes & Minotaurs is what the first fantasy roleplaying game could have been if its authors had taken their inspiration from Jason & the Argonauts (yes, the 1963 movie with all the cool Ray Harryhausen monsters) and Homer’s Odyssey rather than from Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings or Poul Anderson’s Three Hearts & Three Lions

In other words, Mazes Minotaurs is:

 - a nostalgic pastiche of early fantasy roleplaying games

 - a tongue-in-cheek tribute to old-school gaming

 - a complete and fully playable roleplaying game !

And EVERYTHING IS FREE!  That’s right: every rulebook, every supplement, every Mazes & Minotaurs product is 100% FREE. 

In its own fictional metagame alternate continuum, MAZES & MINOTAURS was the first RPG ever designed and came out in 1972 to be followed, 15 years later, by its glorious Revised rules (presented, of course, in three corebooks) – which are now available in a special, 30th Anniversary edition, from DrivethruRPG!  

The RM&M Players Manual contains rules for character creation (with 12 character classes), combat, magic and adventuring!

What does "Weapon of Choice" mean in terms of in-game mechanics? It was never explained. Maybe it's a weapon/s restriction?

Sorry for the late reply. You'll find the rules for WEAPONS OF CHOICE in the M&M PLAYERS MANUAL, on p 9 (for the definition) and p 21 (for the effects in game terms).

I would love to buy a POD version of the core books. Please consider publishing via a POD service.

Is there any difference between the 2012 edition and the 2017 edition?

An enjoyable read and a great game! It is just amazing that it's free. I would proudly add POD versions of the game books to my collection. I imagine them as digest-size treasures of OSR goodness.

Please provide POD. I don't buy many games in hard copy anymore, but this is one I want on my shelf.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
