Congratulations! In a world where there is no shortage of mediocre games, you've managed to find one of the true gems. Designed from the ground up to be played AT THE TABLE with REAL LIFE FRIENDS, HackMaster makes no qualms about its old school heritage. This is the way role-playing games were meant to be played and we present to you the best of breed. Gone are the days of waiting around for your 'turn,' of battling static opponents or of being anything but totally in charge of your own destiny.
What you hold in your hands is the skeleton key that unlocks the chains that have confined you to the humdrum world of the mundane for your entire life. The HackMaster RPG is the game of choice for those that know the difference between ordinary and epic. This is the game for YOU. You're not ordinary; you're extraordinary. For those of us that live in a world that forces us to conform, to abide by the rules day in and day out; for those of us that suffocate in our daily routine of breakfast cereal and ham sandwiches; for those of us that slave each day in our cubicle inextricably tied to the digital world; those who would be heroes if it weren't for the constraints of reality, we present HACKMASTER!!
