This is the Player’s Handbook for HackMaster, which is a partial parody, partial tribute to the first edition D&D game. While it follows many of the conventions of the source material, in some ways the game improves upon the source material it was based on. In others it takes the extremes of the original (a penchant for tables, for example) to extremes. The HackMaster Player’s Handbook provides character creation rules for Abilities, Build Points (Quirks and Flaws), Classes, Races, Equipment, Magic, Experience and more, providing the player of the game all the rules they need to get ready for a game.
