  Billions of people died, sending immeasurable amounts of psychic energy into the world's mystic ley lines - lines of invisible supernatural energy that crisscross the planet. The ley lines flared to life with unstoppable waves of energy creating storms, earthquakes, and dimensional anomalies. Where two ley lines crossed, the very fabric of space and time were torn asunder creating dimensional Rifts to other worlds. All manner of creatures and magic spilled forth from the Rifts onto the dying Earth, inadvertently transforming it into an alien landscape!
  It is approximately 300 years later (nobody knows for sure). Human beings are emerging out of a dark age to reclaim the planet. A strange and alien Earth inhabited by unimaginable, and sometimes terrible, creatures.
  Thus, the Earth has become a place of contradiction and infinite possibilities. Alien and supernatural beings trod the planet. Ancient gods, creatures of legend, vampires, faeries, dragons and alien monstrosities co-exist with human cyborgs, androids, giant robots, high-tech mercenaries and dimensional raiders. Creatures of legend, demons, and faeries use technology to bolster there already formidable powers, while humans augment themselves with implants, bionics, power armor, chemicals, magic and alien technologies.

• Company: Chaosium, Avalon Hill (USA)
• Authors: Greg Stafford, Steve Perrin, Ray Turney, Lyn Willis, Sandy Petersen, Steve Henderson, Warren James
• First publication: 1978
• Theme: Fantasy game that combines high fantasy heroism with the gritty realities of cross-humanoid racism and the problems of day-to-day living. Religion plays an intrinsic part of every adventurer's life. It is a game about the men and women destined to become legendary warriors... or die in the process.
  Though the worlds of Slayers are a dangerous place, there are plenty of chances for heroism and victory. Warriors have more to do than keep their blades sharp and kills many. Heroes that want their names sung by the bards seek various runes and glyphs. By combining glyphs in certain ways, powerful runes take shape. The collection of the runes grants legendary abilities to the warriors of RuneQuest. But no warrior can ever have all of the runes - his runes are forged through his journeys, and for every runic ability gained, several more are forever lost.
• Notes: A new edition called RuneQuest: Slayers will be released during summer 1998.
