The Hacklopedia of Beasts The many hundreds of fearsome monsters which are part of Garweeze Wurld come to life within the eight volumes of the Hacklopedia of Beasts! Within this collection are over 1600 creatures of every conceivable type. Each is carefully described in individual narrative, which appears along with a full listing of game abilities. Most of the monsters are illustrated in addition, giving an awesome visual representation to players and Game Masters. Quest for the Unknown Many years ago, rumor has it, two noted personages in the area, a fighter of renown and a magic-user of mystery & power pooled their resources and exper- tise to construct a home and stronghold for the two of them to use as a base of operations. Word just reaching civilization tells of their demise. If only one had the knowledge and wherewithal to find their hideaway, there would be great things to explore. This is the first instructional module designed for use with HackMaster, filled f with plenty of hacking for beginning players ae Little Keep on the Borderlands You are indeed members of that exceptional class~ adventurers who have jour- neyed to the Little Keep on the Borderlands in search of fame and fortune.

Sale or trade of such reproductions i sticly prohibited. Ting or dead, event late is entirely coincidental Reality Check, A Disclaimer The fictional works collectively known as “HackMaster” are what is known as a fantasy role-playing game. Some of the material may not bbe suitable for children and/or young readers, which is why we strong- ly suggest parental discretion. It has also come to our attention that some people have no backbone for high fantasy or the concepe of hero- ic deeds which often involve fighting evil monsters and taking on supernatural beings intene on the down fall ofall things good and noble. If you are such an individual and are squeamish. about such things, you may want to accept the fact that this book is not for you and read no further (but please do send in a 25¢ royalty payment for the portion you HAVE read up to this point, to do otherwise is tanta- mount to THEFT). HackMaster isa game and as such, the ereators have tried to imbue i with a bit of ambiance that refleets a mysterious world fraught with danger, magic and wondrous creatures. We want to emphasize the term ‘game. HackMaster has very litle co do with reality. Ids an escape mechanism designed to entertain players for a few hours, after which the game is shelved and everyone returns to their boring ‘teal lives. As a game, HackMaster throws players into situations (conflict) which must be resolved using wit and/or any skills, weapons or other ‘means the players in-game personae may possess, All ofthis action, of course, exists only in the mind of those playing the game, Such make- believe conflicts are resolved with equally make-believe solutions. Some conflicts are resolved peacefully through negotiation, parley and ‘other non-violent means. Sometimes they'e resolved with magic. Of times, however, such conflicts ate resolved through force (ic, vio- lence). Again, all the action in HackMaster takes place in che imagi- nations ofthe players and he GameMaster. Are you getting allthis? HackMaster has nothing to do with advocating the occult, drug use, teen suicide, random acts of violence or any of the many sinister agen- das which those harboring a grudge against role playing have artempt- «ed to lay at our fect. The writers do not condone violence to solve ‘real life’ situations. In fact, we Frown upon it. Again, this book is a work of fantasy and the reader should remind himself of that. IF you cannot separate reality from fantasy you should put this book down and seek professional help (or at the very least make a photo-copy of this d claimer and review it before and after EVERY session of HackMaste). Just so we're clear on this — attempting to worship the demons pre- sented in Hacklopedia will resule in nothing but ridieule from your peers (our demons are ‘made-up’. Likewise, with the ‘magic spell’ presented in HackMaster. They are fake. Made up. Not ral. No mat- ter how hard you try 10 cast Invisibility on yourself, ie just aint gonna to happen. If you jump off a roof because you believe your ‘boots of flutter sof’ will protect you and you end up shattering your hip, do not come crying to us. We will merely show you a highlighted photo copy of this disclaimer and marvel at your stupidity. Are we on the same sheet of music here? Good. ‘Nut said. Disclaimer Addendum: The views expressed in this work are solely those of Hard Fight Enterprises and its staffand NOT those of Kenzee and Company or its employees. Remember this work is a parody of games and the people who play them (as well as make them). Foreword: Interrupt Illusion ‘The book you hold in your hands (as well as its companion volumes the HackMaster Player's Handbook and rhe Haeklopedia of Beasts) has literally been a labor of love. Hopefully chat much is obvious to even the casual reader. You would think by now we would have been getting used to the process, but it’s always diffcule to have something youve been working on so closely for many months torn from your loving hands and plunked on the presses. ‘As cteacors and designers we always have the feeling the product isnt quite complete— that there's always something else which can be added, crammed between the covers and made tft, One more idea. (One mote table on the melting points of precious metals. One more typo to chase down and beat into submission, And so it was with the book you hold in your hands. Like nurturing parents we wanted to hold onto our baby for as long a possible before sending i out into the world. ‘We have ofien been told our passion for games shows in our prod- ucts and that our love for gaming is infectious. ‘That's always nice to hear and i really helps motivate us to keep doing whac we do, Cot, (Uy, Rohe ‘We were thrilled that so many people flocked to HackMaster when the Player's Handbook was released « few short months ago. A lot of people didnt believe che game could find a niche in an already crowd- ced market, but thankfully you, the reader, proved them all wrong. The PHB, as you may recall, was dedicated to all the countless folks who contributed to role-playing, KODT and AD&D over the yeas. ‘The HackMaster GameMaster’s Guide, however is dedicated to YOU! By voting with your wallets and supporting what we have been doing, you sent out a loud message shat there is always room for a good, fun ame, You aso proved that word of mouth can be more powerful than large advertising budgets, hype and fluff. Give yourself a pat on the back anda few experience points! Indeed, this book is dedicated to ALL of you. In our books, you are truly heroes. Buinfle ffl, Joly Blackburn, David S.
