JUMPING AWAY 1
This booklet represents one character in the Lost Worlds™ series of fantasy combat
games. Each character in this series can interact with every other; each has strengths and
weaknesses which you will discover as you and your friends collect them.

The Booklet - Each page of the booklet contains two parchments: the larger odd-
numbered picture parchment and the smaller, even-numbered movement parchment.
The Character Sheet - On the front of· the Character Sheet is a picture of your
character, columns showing the maneuvers, the page number to tum to when you do
those maneuvers, and any damage modifiers you get when your maneuver scores. On
the back is an explanation of each maneuver.

How To Play
Each player must have a booklet and Character Sheet to p1ay. You and your oppo-
nent do the following steps simultaneously:

1) Exchange booklets with your opponent, but keep your own Character Sheet.
2) Open the booklet to parchment 57. You now see your opponent at extended
range. At the bottom of the parchment are instructions for your opponent's next
maneuver. Read them to him now (e.g. "Do only extended range.")
3) Use your Character Sheet to choose your maneuver and tum to the movement
parchment listed next to it. This will always be an even number.
4) Tell your opponent the number of the movement parchment you are now on.
5) On your movement parchment, find the even number your opponent gave you in
step 4. Tum to the odd numbered parchment listed beside it. This picture shows either
your opponent's maneuver or you scoring on your opponent. Note: It will not show if
you have been hit. That will show only in the booklet your opponent is using.
6) If the word "Score" appears on the picture parchment, you have hit your oppo-
nent. Add the number beneath "Score" to the damage modifier for the maneuver you
just did. If the result is greater than zero, tell your opponent to subtract that many
points of damage from his character's body points. If the result is zero or less, no
damage has been done.
7) If your opponent's body point total is now zero or less, he is unconscious and you
have won the game. If his body point total is -5 or Jess, he has died.
8) After adjusting your character's body point total, read the instructions below the
picture to your opponent. Note: If your opponent redirects you to a different picture
parchment (i.e., "If on p.X go to p. Y") read only the instructions on th~ last page you
end on. These instructions always apply whether you scored or not.
9) Return to step 3 and choose your next maneuver keeping in mind any instructions
your opponent read to you.

instructed to. You must do Extended Range maneuvers when told to. ";,,' ,y;/#

Character Improvement
Your character gains experience points equal to the maximum body points of the
opponent you defeat. Note: killing is unnecessary. 2-49 10-13 18-37 26-17 34-41 42-49
To increase a damage modifier, subtract experience points equal to your character's 4-00 12-13 20-31 28-13 36-13 44-00
maximum body points. Your total experience points may never be less than zero. Each
time you do this, add one to the damage modifier of your choice. All damage modifiers 6-00 14-49 22-49 30-49 38-13 46-27
(including "O" and negative numbers) must be increased before any damage modifier 8-19 16-57 24-13 32-13 40-49 48-00
can be increased again.

 Increase your character's maximum body points by one after all his damage modifiers
of the same color (including empty color bars) have been increased. Example: a
character starting with 12 body points who has added one to all his red, green, and
brown damage modifiers would have 12+1+1+1 =-15 total body points ( + 1 for each
complete color). Note: body points are added to the maximum body point total; they
do not heal a character who has lost body points. Add experience points to your
character's total only at the end of the game.
Your character always starts each game with his current Maximum Body Points even
if he lost the last game - as long as he did not die. If he died you must start a new
character using the original stats printed on the Character Sheet.

HEIGHT - Before starting each game, subtract your opponent's height rating from
your own character's height rating. The result is your Height Damage Modifier for that
game. If it is a positive number, add it to the Damage Modifiers for each of your Orange
and Red maneuvers; if it is a negative number, subtract it from them instead.

Multi-player Rules
For multi-player combats, arrange two sides. Players on the side with the fewer
members each pick one opponent. Then, the extra players on the larger side each join
any battle they choose. Note: It is permissible for more than one extra player to join a
battle, i.e., three against one, four against one, etc. Play normally including the follow-
ing rules:
1) If you fight more than one opponent you may still do only one maneuver per turn.
E.g., a high side swing against one opponent requires a high side swing against them all.
2) If your opponents are at different ranges, pick your maneuver from the close
range list and give that number to your close range opponent(s). Then give the number
on the same line in the "X" column (the Extended Range Conversion number) to your
extended range opponent(s).
3) If you defeat your opponent(s) and there are still battles going on, you may choose
to join one. If you join against one opponent play continues as a normal multi-player
battle. If you join against two or more opponents, you must choose any one opponent
who must then leave his attack for a one-on-one against you.
4) If you receive conflicting instructions from your opponents, do only the most
restricting instruction.
Note: The format for multi-player battles is always one vs. any number of
opponents. A 2 vs. 2 battle is not possible but must break into two 1 vs. 1 battles. Only
after you win can you join your partner in a two-on-one against the remaining oppo-
nent.

ATTACKS -- The number under ATTACKS on the Character Sheet is the number of
opponents you can score against at the same time. Example: You are fighting three
opponents and the result of your move shows you scoring against all three. If your
Attacks number is 3 or greater you score all appropriate damage against all three. If it is
2 (for example) you would score against only two of them -- your choice.

ESCAPE-- You may break off combat and escape if you can maneuver to parchment 57
from either 21, 23, or any Extended Range parchments. Simply announce "Escaping."
,..,~· Tell opponent: "Do only EXTENDED RANGE next turn." The game is now over and your opponent receives experience points equal to the
amount of damage he has done to you.
