This is the third upload of this book. My reasons for doing it are
1: My desire to correct some typographical errors and other mistakes. 2: Knowing that I know much more about finding good public domain art and making scenes from separate pieces of public domain art. There is more and better art in this version. 3: Some additional spells and one important type of armor that was inadvertently... [click here for more] |

This is a companion volue to Glory Road Roleplay Core Rules. It includes essays, deas, and suggestions gleaned from nearly forty years of playing, running and designing roleplaying games and adventures. Some of the material is system-specific but a great deal of it is not. The essays are not really organized. ... [click here for more] |

These characters can be used in any urban setting but they were created with the great city of Old Meyoss in mind. So, the language(s) each of them can speak are given. If you are running a game in a one-language city, you can ignore that. If you have several languages and cultures in your city but they are not the Shan, Chop and Mothi of Old Meyoss, you can use the notes on language as a general guideline.... [click here for more] |

The beings described here may well violate Robert A. Heinlein’s dictum that “Your enemy is never a villain in his own eyes.” Princess Buttercup, the Troll on the cover, thinks that she is doing the Tiger God’s bidding, killing and eating speaking prey, her beast is just doing what his beloved owner commands, and her Hobgoblin Scout is just a hired killer. Almost all of the villains are natural,... [click here for more] |

Frankly, I’m doing this collection of pre-made characters because, other than the Core Rules, these are my best-selling products. If people want prepared characters, I am happy to provide them. I love creating Glory Road Roleplay characters.
I use a lot of randomization in this process and this collection has a surprising number of spellcasters.
The adventure seeds are only suggestions. I have... [click here for more] |

Looking at my previous collections of premade characters, I noticed that two of the three settings that I have created them for don’t have non-human player-characters, so I haven’t provided any in those collections. However, GMs and players don’t have to use those settings precisely as I wrote them and non-human characters are needed for my most popular, setting The Black Mountain District, and...

This is a collection of ready to use player-characters for Glory Road Roleplay. It was supposed to be twenty characters but one of the characters so obviously would need a couple of servants that I added two more characters, designed to be NPCs.

This is a collection of ready to use player-characters for Glory Road Roleplay in the Silk Road setting. The characters were created using random rolls. Because twenty is a small sample size, it will be interesting to see what characters are created.

This is yet another collection of characters to be used in Glory Road Roleplay campaigns. They can be used as NPCs, as either as foes or as allies of the player-characters or one of them could be given to a player when time is limited and creating a character from scratch is out of the question or just because you and the player want to do it.

This is a brief introduction to the use of rage-based warriors in Glory Road Roleplay. They have never been common but they have been around since the rules were first promulgated. Rage-based warriors are not confined to one ethnicity or culture. The title berserker is used because that is one rage-based type of fighter in real-world legend. Rage is not simply anger. In fact, ordinary anger does not... [click here for more] |

The brigandine was the most popular armor of the late medieval period. It was less expensive than plate but illustrations show people who could easily afford plate wearing brigandine.

This is a brief adventure; it could take from one long weekend session such as we used to play on White Street in West Haven when we all lived near one another to four shorter sessions.

In fantasy literature, a dwelling often gives certain advantages to the inhabitants. The most familiar is the inability of a vampire to enter a dwelling uninvited. Holy places also offer advantages to those that are welcome there.

This is a method for randomizing the background for an Elf player-character. Our normal procedure is to choose a career for the character and then find a background that is possible for that career.

Gambling can be featured in an RGP campaign in several ways. It would be an interesting profession for a character, rounded out with some more normal adventuring skills.
