Barbarians Versus... RPG

(Barbarians Versus Vile Reptilian Invaders from Outer Space)

You hail from the icy north, a land of snowy, jagged peaks. You are trained to kill and molded to survive. You are a legend among warriors. You are a barbarian.

The normal raiding season has turned out to be unusual. Word has spread among the various barbarian parties throughout the countryside -- castles, cities, and villages are empty and deserted. In their place, reptilian aliens from beyond the sky have built sprawling slave camps and massive factories. These evil creatures are armed with unusual weapons--iron sticks that shoot lightning, delicate stones that explode upon impact, flying chariots that arc through the sky, and invisible walls that shock those who try to escape. To gain honor this year, barbarians must take the battle to these alien invaders or go home empty-handed. No self-respecting barbarian would ever return without such glory.

This tongue-in-cheek roleplaying game packs all the rules you need to loot, pillage, maim, and party. The easy-to-learn, fast-paced game mechanics are centered around descriptive roleplaying and imagination. If you like to make up stories about savage barbarians and the creatures they smash to tiny bits, then this is the game for you.

• • Fast-paced, rules-light system utilizes fistfuls of ten-sided dice.

• • Choose cool abilities and awesome items to create barbarian characters.

• • Tons of opportunity for descriptive, brutal roleplaying (smash! punch! snap!)

• • Find out how much beer your barbarian needs to get drunk and smash even more!

• • Roll on random looting tables to find shiny things!

• • Includes a starter adventure: The Black Pit

• • Battle greedy, grouchy, cunning Dwarves as an alternate setting.

• • Fight zombie cows, chickens, and other animals or barbarians as an alternate setting.

The download for this digest-sized book includes two versions: single-page and special format for double-sided printing.

"Fun is the word here. The theme of the game is what sells it. If lighthearted barbarian hijinks sound like a good time to you then you will like this game."

"I think this game starts off on the right foot and keeps on going... This game is meant to be fun and light hearted with lots of barbarian smashy goodness and alien lizards."

"BARBARIANS VERSUS has now become my choice for any PARTY RPG. Let's face it, any game with rules for how much liquor your barbarian can drink is a party game... Fun is the watchword here people. Just a helluva lot of fun."
