Released in 1977, Melee! was the first part of The Fantasy Trip, Steve Jackson's first RPG, and the first game with a point buy system for characters. It served as the precursor for GURPS and disappeared for four decades before being reborn in the Legacy Edition in 2019.
This is an introductory event, where you can learn how to create a character with the system and fight for glory in the arena using the Legacy Edition rules, but players of all levels of experience, from the greenest gladiator, to the greyest grognard, are welcome to come and slay! But be warned: this game is brutal!
To those about to die (over and over again), we salute you!
