Maelstrom: Domesday is a tabletop role-playing game (RPG) set in medieval England, released in 1984. It offers a historically accurate and gritty experience, emphasizing realism and immersion. Inspired by Dungeons & Dragons, Maelstrom: Domesday features a unique ruleset that focuses on social interaction, investigation, and survival.
Revised, rewritten and updated for a new gaming generation, Maelstrom
Domesday is a game of supernatural investigation in Anglo-Norman
England. Rebellion, horror and fear stalk the villages, towns and cities of
the new Norman Kingdom, and only a brave and disparate band can
prevent a decline into anarchy.
A lifepath system creates characters that are both deep and yet competent for the tasks ahead. Rewritten and expanded rules provide fast and flexible gameplay whilst still covering most in-play situations. The original Maelstrom free-form magic system allows a magical character to accomplish almost anything…at a price.
This core book also includes a full guide to life in 1086 and a richly
described setting complete with dozens of important personages,
adventure hooks and locations. There is enough in this one book for
years of play and hundreds of adventures.
