The Ultimate Beer and Pretzels Fantasy RPG!

Cd8 Fantasy, the latest tabletop RPG from Elf Lair Games, brings the excitement, moxy, gumption, and Childlike Wonder of fantasy gaming at its best to the table once more!

Forget the over-complicated rules, the expansive character classes, the tactical combat, and the systems debates that last for hours and just leave everyone bitter. This game gets back to the roots with a simple d8 dice pool system, point-based character generation and advancement, and the ability to stat up monsters in seconds! Throw your dice, count Fist Bumps, kill the monsters, and take their stuff. It's just that simple!

Whether you’re looking for a laugh-riot one shot, a quick fill-in game when your GM can’t make it for the night, or you want a simple-yet-robust system that can handle anything you throw at it, Cd8 Fantasy is the answer to your gaming needs. In this book you’ll find:

• Complete character generation rules
• Six unique stats: Gumption, Moxy, Chutzpah, Childlike Wonder, Cut of My Jib, and A Certain Je ne Sais Quoi!, each of which represents an important part of your character’s innate abilities.
• A robust list of skills that enable you to do everything from making an herbal poultice to twisting the very laws of reality
• A flexible magic system where you craft your own spells…on the fly!
• Benefits and Bugs to create important physical, emotional, and mental quirks to flesh out your character.
• Complete rules for psionics, corruption, fear, horror, nonhuman races, combat, and more!
• A complete fantasy role playing system in just 32 pages!

The New Class of Old School takes on dice pool gaming…are you game to play?

Bought the game, and it looks pretty fun. Wish there was a PoD option, however. Will have to find time to run it for my group sometime soon.

Yeah, I think I mentioned this elsewhere, but it might have been only one one channel. This will eventually be available in print (and will retail for $11.99). I just have to work out the funds. It's not big enough to Kickstart, and I don't want to do PoD because (a ) I'm trying not to undercut my distributor that way, and (b ) PoD costs me a buttload of money in the end (DTRPG and Lulu take a significant cut from PoD sales). I am planning on having at least a few to sell at Gary Con.

Blame Square. And PayPal. I had PayPal available but square is no longer supporting it due to some conflict with PayPal. As I understand it, it comes down to the simple bullsh** that Square considers PayPal a compentitor platform and they don't want to support a competitor.

Printed copy arrived today and I'm starting to devour it. (More fun in print than in PDF!)

The one comment I will make initially is I wish a larger print size had been used. The old eyes just don't work as well as they used to. Fortunately, I just got glasses with a new prescription yesterday, and that seems to be helping.

Interesting. Thanks for the feedback. I am a bit surprised as I have to wear readers for a lot of TTRPG books, so I designed my Elf Lair books to be large enough font that I can easily read them without my readers. It's a tough balancing act; I felt utterly cheated when I dumped $60 on ShadowDark only to get a book that should've been half the length it was, because of the gigantic font and spacing. I don't want to end up charging people more than the book is worth, but I also want it to be readable.
