Notable Quotes

"Elthos is way cooler and more professional than I imagined. This is a huge accomplishment."

- Mike Dibaggio, 2019

"Ok, I have reached the meat of Elthos, and it is meaty indeed. In concept our own @vb Wyrde has returned to the well and deeply. The matrix based resolution suggested here points back to the ur game, the common ancestor that unifies D&D, Chainmail, and Warhammer, back to Kriegspiel.

If I take nothing else away from this, this book is worth just for reading and thinking about your game, about task resolution odds, and the iron dice rolling. Also, a modular and customizable skill system that you can plug into existing OD&D, B/X, and AD&D contexts.

I'm impressed."

- Doc Shaw, 2022
