Background

Founded in 1975 and actively publishing until 1991 (limping along afterward to this day), Fantasy Games Unlimited (FGU) is known for its large, eclectic, and often very influential collection of published games. It is known in particular for the first “realistic” medieval RPG (Chivalry & Sorcery), two of the earliest RPGs set in Feudal Japan (Land of the Rising Sun and Bushido), the superhero crime-fighting game Villains & Vigilantes (a game that gave Champions a run for its money for a long time), and the first game with a focus on non-humanoid characters (Bunnies & Burrows) that also provided the first detailed martial arts system (!) and detailed skills system (!!).

About this group

This group is devoted to this wild, wonderful, weird game publisher’s works. Anything related to the company, its personalities, or its games (board, wargame, or RPG, including offshoots of them like the post-2nd edition Chivalry & Sorcery publications, or Jeff Dee’s Living Legends) is on-topic.

Rules

The usual rules of ttrpg.network apply with the following additions:

All posts must be on-topic as outlined above.
Conversations must be respectful of participants. (The games, personalities, etc. are open season.)
As communities for specific FGU games form, cross-posting between the general FGU community and the specific ones is permitted on this end; please be mindful of the other communities’ preferences, however.
