Chaosium's BASIC ROLEPLAYING is a core rulesbook that gathers in one place the rules, modules, and options for one of the original and most influential role playing gaming systems in the world. BASIC ROLEPLAYING is designed to be intuitive and easy to play. While character attributes follow a 3D6 curve, most of the other BASIC ROLEPLAYING mechanics are even simpler. Virtually all rolls determining success or failure of a task are determined via the roll of percentile dice.

The date is October 2, 1918. In France soldiers huddle in hastily-dug trenches, faith their only protection against a never-ending artillery barrage. It is the time of World War I--the Great War--a time when mankind proves itself capable of atrocities never before conceived of.As above, so below. Beneath the cracked and shattered soil of the Argonne Forest there lives something that waits, lurking and feeding upon misery--something inhuman. Very soon the members of the doomed Lost Battalion will stumble upon this mystery older than Mu, and then the fate of the world will lie in their hands.No Man's Land includes rules for generating soldier characters in WWI, and a guide to a soldier's life in the period, detailing dangers from shell-shock tomustard gas. It is the first of the Cthulhu Master's Tournament books, which are designed to be run as stand-alone or tournament adventures. It originally formed part of the Cthulhu Master's Tournament at GenCon. No Man's Land can also actas the basis of a campaign set in the 1920s. Match your wits against the masters of Mythos horror!
