Having messed around a bit with the earlier release of HackMaster Basic, I was delighted last week to finally receive my copy of the HackMaster Player’s Handbook. This morning I have been exploring character generation and wanted to share my two-penneth on why this is a cracking game.
Getting Started
Roll ‘Em!

This is a truly beautiful handbook for fantasy gaming. |
Choices, Choices
No Dump Stats
Finally, this rule absolutely eliminates the need for anyone, be he player or, so help me gods, GameMaster, to fudge a roll. Fudging, also known as CHEATING has no place in a game that already has a mechanic designed to eliminate freak occurances.
Amen, brother.
Thanks for the enthusiastic review! I think I’ll give it a look as well. I’m a long time KODT fan and have always had an interest in checking out Hackmaster.
Great post. Thanks.

There is also a really nice new character sheet in there. 🙂
Glad you liked my PC sheet.
HM is so worth picking up! It’s awesome.
