Restormel is a 1981 fantasy role-playing game adventure published by Judges Guild for any role-playing game.
Restormel is a universal supplement for fantasy role-playing games that presents a village and a map. [1]
Restormel was written by Scott Fulton, and published by Judges Guild in 1981 as a 32-page book with two large two-color maps. [2]
Michael Stackpole reviewed Restormel in The Space Gamer No. 50. [1] Stackpole commented that "There is no 'armor class' in Tunnels and Trolls, The Fantasy Trip, RuneQuest, Stormbringer, or most other games. Also, their NPC descriptions omit the attribute Power, which makes the work useless of RuneQuest" and noted that the description as a Universal Fantasy Supplement means "For AD&D but we couldn't get the approval? Billing it as universal is not quite ethical." [1]
RuneQuest is a fantasy tabletop role-playing game originally designed by Steve Perrin, Ray Turney, Steve Henderson, and Warren James, and set in Greg Stafford's mythical world of Glorantha. It was first published in 1978 by The Chaosium. Beginning in 1984, publication passed between a number of companies, including Avalon Hill, Mongoose Publishing, and The Design Mechanism, before finally returning to Chaosium in 2016. RuneQuest is notable for its system, designed around percentile dice and an early implementation of skill rules, which became the basis for numerous other games. There have been several editions of the game.
