This is the electronic archive of original source materials for Metagaming's roleplaying game The Fantasy Trip.
This archive had originally been created because the copyrights for the material languished in the hands
of someone who was unwilling to work on a re-release of the material. As a result, this material was scanned
and distributed electronically so that people could enjoy the game once again without having to use crumbling old
copies.
In December of 2017, Steve Jackson recovered the rights to all the material he'd written for Metagaming, including Melee,
Wizard, Advanced Melee, Advanced Wizard, In the Labyrinth, Tollenkar's Lair, and both of the Death Test
Microquests. and announced
plans for a re-release. In light of this fantastic news, the offerings in the Archive will be restricted to
the material not owned by Steve Jackson. See this announcement
at SJGames.com and this forum thread for more information.
This is a good time to note that the above games' rules and art are copyrighted by Steve Jackson Games, and all rights are reserved by them. We endeavor to
abide by the
Steve Jackson Games Online Policy.
