The Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Munchausen, third edition $8.95

The Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Munchausen, third edition: $8.95

Publisher: Magnum Opus Press

Baron Munchausen's tales of his extraordinary adventures are legendary: riding cannonballs through the sky, sailing to the Moon, meeting gods, escaping from the Turkish army on half a horse, and many more.

Can you outdo the Baron's storytelling? You can try!

Challenge your friends to tell the most extraordinary stories, interrupt to challenge or correct their boasts, and describe your own amazing exploits in this renowned game of wit, riposte and repartee, written in high style by the Baron himself. The role-playing system replaces dice and pencils with money and fine wines, and requires no previous experience with RPGs.

A modern classic, The Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Munchausen was the first of the New Style games that ushered in the story-games revolution of the early 2000s. It requires no GM or preparation, plays in under an hour, and has over 200 ready-to-play adventures in the book. It's also really, really funny.

This third edition, originally published by Fantasy Flight in 2016, is greatly expanded with new and revised material. Contained within is the original game, along with Arabian-style rules from Sindbad the Sailor, a simpler version for younger (or inebriated) players, and rules for playing online. One of the Baron's own descendants has contributed twelve new variants and different styles of play, including Gutenberg's Revenge, The Recall of Cthulhu, and Munchausen Crescent. Its pages are graced with glorious paintings from the hand of Omar 'Once Upon a Time' Rayyan.
