Is this you?

Frustrated by how hard it is to find good Sword & Sorcery these days? Disappointed when words like "eldritch", "noisome" and "ichor" don't crop up in the first dozen pages of a fantasy novel?

Do you sigh in disgust and lay the book aside if it's over 200 pages long? Or, better yet, howl a curse to your savage northland gods and fling the book across the room when you learn the protagonist has pointy ears and stands only 3 feet tall?

Do you wonder whatever happened to Conan, Kothar, Thongor and all the rest of that barbaric crew? What a lovely group of men they were ...

If you answered "Yea, by Crom!" to any of these questions, then welcome, friend, to the Thews & Thaumaturgy PBeM! A magical place, where fans of Robert E. Howard, Jack Vance, Clark Ashton Smith, and Fritz Leiber feel at home -- and Lin Carter and Gardner F. Fox enthusiasts don't have to hide their moldering Belmont paperbacks behind a classy looking shelf of Modern Library first editions.

Thews & Thaumaturgy is a Sword & Sorcery PBeM role playing game filled with colorful perils and black magic. Play the part of a swashbuckling adventurer, a stealthy thief, or a mystic wizard in a world where unsubudued nature teems with fell beasts and savage barbarians rage at the fringes of decadent, luxurious civilizations! A world of sorcerous adepts, shunned and feared by ordinary mortals, who dare to summon dreadful entities from planes beyond our imagining. Where frightful ante human deities and their loathsome servitors lurk at the edges of existence and sanity, ready to seize the unwary mortal!

Common folk shudder at the mere thought that such tales could be true, but our intrepid adventurers dare to snatch gold from the haunts of these fabled beings and seize matchless treasures from the wizened hands of ancient necromancers!

The game uses Tunnels and Trolls™ the second oldest RPG ever! Brought to you by Ken St. Andre. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of enthusiasts and connoisseurs of fine RPGs worldwide, Tunnels and Trolls enjoys strong international support on the web. Just check out these links at the Tunnels & Trolls™ Magic Ring; or visit The Castle of Otranto --- an excellent online resource for Tunnels & Trolls players.

While the game uses the Tunnels and Trolls rules, the action takes place in Antikhton, an unoriginal and transparently derivative game world designed to make your character's life hazardous and interesting!
