Items related to The Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Munchausen: A...
Can you keep up with Baron Munchausen's extraordinary adventures as he travels to the Moon and the Sun, rides cannon-balls, defeats armies single-handed, meets the gods, and escapes from bandits on half a horse? The stories of the legendary nobleman come to life as players battle to outdo each other's fantastic feats and amazing accomplishments. It's a role-playing story-telling game of outrageous originality and swashbuckling exaggeration, stretching the bounds of truth until they twang. How is this possible? If Baron Munchausen is involved, anything is possible. The Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Munchausen contains full rules, more than two hundred adventures ready to be played, mechanics that replace dice and pencils with money and fine wine, and many insults against the inhabitants of various nations, but principally the French. This expanded edition is a facsimile of a suppressed volume originally published in 1808. It contains additional rules for playing in an Arabian style and a complete supplementary game, 'My Uncle the Baron', designed for children, the inbred and those who are very drunk. "The original edition of The Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Munchausen was unique and marvellous. This new edition is even better. If you are a clever person with clever friends, you will enjoy reading and playing it. Let's not consider the alternative." -Steve Jackson, creator of Munchkin "Utter brilliance in RPG form!" -John Kovalic, creator of Dork Tower Nominated for Best New RPG in the 1999 Origins Awards Nominated for Best Family/Party Game in the 2009 Origins Awards Nominated for Best Writing in the 2009 ENnie Awards

Product Description:So whatâ s the game?Itâ s a role-playing game devised by Baron Munchausen, allowing ordinary people to recreate the stories of his extraordinary adventures, or even to create new ones. As you might expect of the Baron, itâ s not your average RPG. For a start, it only takes an hour to play, and thereâ s an actual winner. You can start playing three minutes after starting to read it, itâ s so easy to learn. Instead of dice or cards, its system of mechanics uses money and fine wines. And you donâ t need a GM.The Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Munchausen is designed to be a pick-up-and-play RPG: the short game you play while youâ re waiting for the rest of your gaming group to turn up. Itâ s fast to play, cheap to buy and a great way of introducing new players to the idea of RPGs without having to plough through a 200-page rulebook first. Itâ s been praised by games-industry figures such as Allen Varney, Phil Masters and Steffan Oâ Sullivan, and was nominated for the 1998 Origins Award in the "Best RPG" category. In short, itâ s a brilliant new type of RPG. Go on. Give it a try. Seller Inventory # 2148084481
