The Slayers d20

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Slayers d20 is a roleplaying game published by Guardians of Order based on the anime series Slayers. The title refers to the title under which Central Park Media released the three seasons of the television series.

The game uses the d20 System with a variant magic system designed to reflect the powerful spells found in the series. Players' characters in this setting are frequently at a much higher level than in a typical d20 campaign. Much of this material was incorporated into Advanced d20 Magic, a setting-independent book that will continue to be in print when the license on Slayers expires.

The book has no reference to any material found in the movies or OVA episodes due to licensing restrictions. Thus there is no mention of the popular character Naga the Serpent. However, there are multiple sets of game statistics for the four principals of the TV series, to reflect their advancement over the course of the story.

The book is scheduled to go out of print sometime in 2006, as Guardians of Order's license to publish Slayers material expires. No renewal is planned, especially since CPM itself has been displaced as the license holder for Slayers in favor of FUNimation, which has a substantial collectible card game division of its own.
