HEROIC FANTASY You direct a party of up to fifteen fighters and magic users (humans, elves, dwarves, fairies, gremlins,leprechauns, hobbits, goblins, even a troll,ogre, or giant) through a dungeon maze killing monsters, gathering treasure, and hunting for magical prizes. There are currently four levels (ultimately there will be a special fifth) and over 400 players already exploring the depths. You may meet some of these players in the maze, and there is no certain way to determine at first meeting whether these are player characters or computer-run "NPCs" (non player char-acters). The object is to get your characters through all four levels alive, and get them into the fifth or "outdoor" level. After each level, there is a chance to get your characters entered into the "Hall of Fame" of adventur-ers which is printed regularly in our magazine. This game has been extensively play-tested, and has been running since 1982. The per turn fee is only $3.00 and for this one fee you get to move all 15 of your charac-ters. They can stay together or split up into as many as 15 parties moving in different directions, all for one single turn fee! No "extra action fees" ever. Each level adds new things to the game. Be aware that the first couple turns are somewhat boring as you get your party started in the safe "entrance room", prepare your first spells, go into the store and buy your initial weapons and/or potions, and decide which direc-tion to explore first. This is not just a "go into the room, kill the monster, take the prize" game. There are a lot of subtleties built into the game that you might not notice unless you pay careful attention to everything that is going on!VARIANTS OFFERED: SLOW HEROIC FANTASY (moves once a month), WEEKLY HEROIC FANTASY (for players who can send their moves by electronic mail), TWICE A WEEK HEROIC FANTASY (also for electronic mail players who are in a hurry), MINI-HEROIC FANTASY (a special first level maze only for fairies, gremlins, and leprechauns. Smaller-sized mon-sters to give those fairies a fighting chance.) Rules are included in the LIZARDS! rulebook. Setup fee is $5 and turns are $3 each.
