The
Homebrew '82 system will be an original fantasy role-playing game (RPG) designed to recreate a style of play that has recently been called "old school." Volume 1 will contain the information needed by players to create characters and to start them on their adventures. Subsequent volumes will describe special material for Game Masters, as well as a quasi-historical campaign setting meant to evoke the feel of post-Arthurian Dark Ages Britain.
Homebrew '82 is a tabletop RPG where the only things needed to play are pencils, paper, dice, and an inquisitive mind.
