INTRODUCTION
Monsters and Mayhem
is a set of supplemental
rules designed to help you play a fantasy game
using the
M&M Core Rules;
these rules are
designed with certain assumptions: first, that you
are familiar with fantasy as a genre in literature
and gaming and, second, that you are familiar
with the
M&M Core Rules.
Monsters and Mayhem
is not a setting, although
it does have certain setting expectations (elves,
dwarves, magic, etc.), it is a toolkit to help you
play a fantasy game with the M&M rules. Many
of these rules will be familiar to you if you have
played
the world’s most popular fantasy game;
they were culled from the System Reference
Document and modified to work with the
M&M
Core Rules.
WHAT’S CHANGED
Monsters and Mayhem makes a number of
changes to the M&M Core Rules. Those
changes, and any new material are
summarized below.
•
The number of PP you can spend on
abilities during character creation
has been capped
The optional rule for buying skill
points is used; 2 skill ranks cost 1PP.
Removed 5 skills
Removed 1 feat
Super Strength has been changed to
reflect the genre.

•
THE PLAYTEST EDITION

Monsters and Mayhem
has
received minimal playtesting. While we have
tried not to stray too far from the design model
provided by the M&M Core Rules playtesting is
always necessary and that is where we would like
your help.
Anyone who purchases this playtest edition of
Monsters and Mayhem
and that provides useful
playtest information, whether by email or on our
forums (located at:
http://cracked-mirror.com/forums/phpBB2/)
will
receive
at no cost
any revised editions published
in electronic format.
