HackMaster “FOURTH EDITION”In 2001, armed with a license to the Advanced

Dungeons and Dragons rules from Wizards of the Coast,Kenzer and Company released HackMaster 4th Edition— a ‘parody’ of the AD&D rules that captured the spiritof the game seen in the comic (Note: there never was a1st thru 3rd edition of the rules — that was part of thespoof).

We took the basic AD&Dengine, mashed it with our houserules from 20 years of play, addeda few new ones and then tackedon certain aspects of HackMasterfamiliar to readers of KODT tocreate HM4E. Despite the fact itwas billed as a ‘joke game’ bythose that didn’t actually play it(or merely flipped through it, orworse, simply read someoneelse’s opinion on the ‘net), therewas a very serious and robustgame beneath the hood. Tens of thousands offans who embraced the game figured it out, manyof whom considered HM4E to be what D&D 3eSHOULD have been – the next iteration of Gygax’smasterful RPG. And while others could never quitesee past the ‘joke game’ moniker, HackMaster 4E wenton to win Best Game of the Year in 2001 (beating out allother RPGs, board games, card games and video games).

We heavily supported HackMaster 4E with literallyscores of core books, supplements and adventuresbeing released (including a full line of original minia-tures) over a 3-4 year period. For the first two years ourrelease schedule rivaled that of WoTC’s D&D 3.0 releaseschedule.

In a market crowded with fantasy role-playing games(not to mention a glut of d20/OGL product), HM4Ebecame successful beyond our wildest dreams – andthose of our licensor for that matter. We were all verypleased with what we did with the product line and wecontinue to be very proud of it to this day. We knewgoing in, however, that our license for the underpin-nings of HackMaster 4E (the AD&D rules) would end in

six years. So a plan was conceived — to develop aNEW version of HackMaster wholly our own andredesigned from the ground up after that licenselapsed.

As much as we loved HM4E, the truth is it was onlyas good as the engine it was built on.Many of the innovations popularwith HM fans (like the honor system,quirks and flaws, character protégésetc) weren’t as good as they couldhave been (having been tacked onrather than ingrained into the rules).

GO WEST YOUNG MAN

Near the end of 2004 we begandevelopment of the newHackMaster game engine. Thoughwe still had a couple of years left onour license to AD&D, we knew we

couldn’t wait to design the new game or we’d have aproduct hole on the order of years. We also needed tocontinue to support the HM4E game as 4 years is notlong enough for a product line. We didn’t want to seeour fans cheated. So we chose a different path. Whilewe continued to release HM4E and Kingdoms ofKalamar products under our license, we began develop-ing the new HackMaster rules engine but in the form ofa new genre (for us). We have always loved the Wild

HackMaster began life as a fictitious game played by the characters in a comicstrip, Knights of the Dinner Table. It was a game that initially spoofed AD&D buteventually took on its own look and feel. One measure of this success was that

readers began asking for a REAL version of the game. That of course occurred a littleover ten years ago as of this writing. Because of HackMaster’s unusual origins and itscolorful history a lot of misconceptions have arisen around it. With the imminentrelease of the new HackMaster Player’s Handbook upon us — we thought this wouldbe a good time to cast a dispel confusion spell over the situation and discuss the game’spast as well as its future.

West and universally hadbeen avid Boot Hill fansfrom the early days, so wesettled on the plan to createa HackMaster moderngame as our first release ofthe engine. Thus the ideafor Aces and Eights:Shattered Frontier wasbirthed. In that game you’llfind the precursor to thecurrent incarnation ofHackMaster including suchthings as the Honor, Skills

and Count Up systems as well as a test of our new pro-duction values, printer and pricing model. We releasedAces and Eights in 2007, three years after we beganwork on it. Like our previous RPG effort (HackMaster4th Edition), it won Best Role Playing Game (Best Gameoverall was no longer a category, sadly – apparently webroke the mold) and some other awards for productionvalues and the like. As an aside, I doubt there’ll beanother western that can hold a candle to Aces andEights (and they said we were crazy because no onebuys westerns any more). Now we had a solid productline to bridge the next couple of years until we couldrelease the new HackMaster game.

THE HACKMASTER BASIC PRODUCT

We would spend the next five years developing therest of the HackMaster engine – we wanted a full-fledged fantasy RPG with three 400-page rulebooksbacking it up. However, we realized shortly after theAces and Eights release that we’d need a basic book tobridge both the development gap and also answer oneof the biggest complaints about HackMaster 4E – thecost to entry (the HM4E game had a $30 PHB, a $30 GMGand at least one $20 monster book required for play, butit was erroneously reported around the ‘net by naysayersthat all 10 monster books were required for a $260 totalinvestment; never mind that such incorrect opinionswere espoused by gamers playing D&D3e and buyingMonster Manuals I through IV plus a Fiend Folio andseveral third party d20 monster books, but I digress). Soin 2009 we decided to release enough rules to get agamer started -- HackMaster Basic was born.

HackMaster Basic is a ~200-page book that covers allthe core rules to the new game. Armed with a new spellsystem, continuous initiative rules, opposed combat dierolls among other innovations, HMB was to serve as aninterim product bridging the old HackMaster and thenew while the full rules were being put down in print-able format.

HackMaster Basic contains all the rules a GM and hisplayers need to run a campaign for characters 1stthrough 5th level, including a 75+ monster bestiary, aGM section plus rules for the four basic classes (fighter,mage, cleric, thief) and four basic races (human, elf,dwarf, halfling). To be clear, this is not a basic roleplay-ing game, but rather the basics of HackMaster. The

game itself carries a rich experience. While simpler andsmoother-running than the other major games out onthe market, HackMaster can seem daunting because ofits free-form play (you needn’t ever wait for your ‘turn’again, just like in Aces and Eights) and myriad of com-bat options and tactics (which mirror real-life situationsand require true decision making and trade-offs in com-bat). HM Basic is intended to make learning the maingame easier and bridge the learning gap to the com-plete Player’s Handbook. One of the best features isthat we made sure that HMb presented the same rulesas the main HackMaster game – characters are immedi-ately portable to the more advanced game with nochanges required.

Following on HMb’s heels came Frandor’s Keep -- acampaign setting designed to take players from 1stthrough 5th level as well as an array of adventures: ThePlague of Cosolen, Wrath of the Vohven, White PaletteIvory Horns, In the Realm of the Elm King, Dusk of theDead and The MysteriousShrine.

Additionally, while workcontinued behind thescenes on testing, format-ting and graphics for thefull HackMaster rules, GMsand Players have been fed asteady diet of new rules andmaterial in the pages ofKnights of the DinnerTable and HackJournal.These articles include the rules needed to take the fourbasic character classes up to 10th level, new spells, newmonsters, equipment, rules and even new races andclasses. While players devoured and red-lined the HMbrules and supplementary material in HackJournal andKODT, work continued in-house on the FULL rules forthe ‘new’ HackMaster (Note: we avoided the tempta-tion to call the full rules, Advanced HackMaster orHackMaster 5e as some continue to refer to it).

HACKMASTER (THE “NEW”)Finally, in fall 2011 – 10 years after we released the ini-

tial HackMaster 4E game -- we released the first book inthe new HackMaster line: The Hacklopedia of Beasts.This 384 page hardbound, full-color tome encased indragon-scale hide introduced the new look and feel forthe game and a hint of what was to come. Without ques-tion, the Hacklopedia of Beasts is the finest RPG bookever produced – including every $100+ special editionsof other games – but for about half the price. But itsphysical beauty isn’t the only thing that sets it apart.Each monster entry includes a first-hand account of the

HACKMASTER TRIVIA: Before KenzerCo decided to doHackMaster as a game themselves they entertainedthoughts of licensing the game out to a third party. BothWhite Wolf and Palladium Books were among the con-tenders at one time for the license.

creature, written by one ofsix monster hunters familiarwith it. Aside from theusual rules-related material(attacks, defenses, size,damage, number appear-ing, treasure, yield, etc.),each entry also includes avisual size chart,tracks/markings, a sketchfrom a naturalist, naturalrange where it is most likelyto be encountered andother useful information.

While no book can be without any typographical errors,we believe this book sets the industry bar for best inclass in that area as well – it was edited and proofread byliterally hundreds of individuals.

PLAYER’S HANDBOOK

As you read this, the second installment of the threecore books is headed to the printer for a Summer 2012release. Boasting the same production values and simi-lar page count to the Hacklopedia of Beasts (thoughwith a leathered rather than dragon-scale cover), theHackMaster Player’s Handbook is a worthy addition tothe product line. The volume covers all the rules neces-sary for play through 20th level for about two dozencharacter classes and a dozen races. With hundreds ofspells, skills, talents and proficiencies as well as quirksand flaws, your characters will always be unique, nevercookie cutter. Every time you roll a new character, you’llbe in for a brand new gaming experience. We made surethat HackMaster would have enough replay value tolast you the rest of your natural life. Seriously – we’re notexaggerating.

GAMEMASTER’S GUIDE

The final core book rules installment will be theGameMaster’s Guide (GMG), which we plan to releasein stores in 2013. This tome will boast similar productionvalues and size as its two sister books (the Player’sHandbook and Hacklopedia of Beasts). Therein youwill find hundreds of brand-new magic items, critical hitand fumble tables, crucial data on monsters and spells,details for higher-level play and advancement rules forformal training, as well as hundreds of miscellaneousrules for things like traps and unusual situations. TheGMG also covers Non-Player Characters extensively andas many miscellaneous rules to cover the most commoncampaign situations that we could conceive. But ofcourse, in role-playing games, the one constant regard-less of game or table is that the players will do the unex-pected. That’s why we are taking special care to ensurethat this guide is the definitive work on the subject ofGameMastering. Chapters are devoted to advice oneverything from running the game and handling trou-blesome players to making props, managing a cam-paign, building drama, timing encounters, employingoutside resources and so-on. While the 4th editionbook was brilliant -- clearly best in class for

GameMastering -- we really feel that the new GMG willleave all past books of this type in the dust. Yes, includ-ing our own previous efforts. This will be one book thatno GM playing any fantasy game should be without.

While the core books are printed and shipped to us,we will also have a steady diet of both printed and PDFadventures and supplements headed your way. Aside

from the ten or soproducts alreadyreleased, we have ahalf-dozen or morefull-length adven-tures in the works --including the much-anticipated Mines ofChaos sequel toFrandor’s Keep.

MoC expands onFrandor’s Keep andupdates it for higher-level play, takingcharacters from 5thlevel through 10th

level as well as expanding on recent happenings in theKeep itself, giving life to the area. A mega-dungeon andwilderness adventure, Mines should last your groupmonths and months of weekly gaming. We also haveseveral other full-length adventures in various stages ofediting and completion covering a range of experiencelevels (first through tenth, generally). We have lower-level adventures set in swamps, cities, developed king-doms, farming communities and in and around castleruins. Our plan is to release these products every fewmonths in both electronic and print format with com-bined offers for those so-inclined. They will also cover arange of pricing options so you can game regardless ofthe size of your billfold. Aside from adventures, we alsohave two world supplements in the works (a city-stateand a wilderness area) and two more in their infancy(also city-state and a wilderness area). Beyond these wehave a steady pipeline of submissions actively beingworked by several highly skilled and dedicated free-lancers. Future support is not an issue.

Once the main books are complete, we have a steadylineup of future supplementary products planned outand in various stages of completion:

KINGDOMS OF KALAMAR CAMPAIGN SETTING

Every game needs a definitive setting and this is theone for HackMaster. While we’ve been playing andreleasing Kalamar products for 20 years, this will be thefirst core release for the new HackMaster game. Thesetting will be revamped and updated to include thenew HackMaster races such as Grevans and Grel as wellas re-edited. New material will be folded in and the bookrevamped by the D-team as we’ve envisioned the line.Whether new to Kalamar or an old fan, this book will bea must-have.

Problem solving underpins the play of any roleplayinggame, regardless of genre. Whether that means overcomingfoes with superior tactics, answering a tough riddle or discov-ering the secret room concealing fabulous treasure, all involveovercoming a difficulty with your friends. Nowadays, a fan-tasy RPG devotee has many choices in which to indulge

problem solving with his fellow enthusiasts. The trend over the last decade or so has been leaning toward theheroic game. After all, who doesn’t want to roleplay a hero? Heroes are very good at resolving a crisis, whetherthrough force of arms, might of magic or otherwise. Here is where the HackMaster game sets itself apart fromother fantasy roleplaying games. The HackMaster game is about more than just playing a hero that fixes trou-blesome predicaments. Indeed, HackMaster allows for heroic play – play long enough and you will experiencesuch a game. But HackMaster includes another element overlooked by the other games – the journey to becom-ing a hero.

In HackMaster, players begin running characters generally little better than the local commoner. True, some maybe head-and-shoulders above their fellow man, but this is the exception rather than the rule. Most HackMastercharacters even have one or more weaknesses that make the road to hero even more difficult. The challenge of thegame is to overcome difficult situations with a band of allies, none of whom are overly exceptional. To find a liter-ary example of this type of story, one need not look far. Arguably (if not factually) the most popular fantasy storyof all is such a tale. In Tolkien’s The Hobbit, the main character (as well as his dwarven companions) is a plain every-day person. One of the reasons we love this story is because we can identify with Bilbo; he’s just like us. We rootfor him as he overcomes the odds on his journey to becoming one of the most storied heroes of Middle Earth. TheHobbit is about the journey to becoming a hero. This is also the essence of HackMaster.

Certainly, playing a roving band of superheroes a la the Justice League has its place, but arguably this is far lessheroic than a commoner rising to the challenge. True heroism comes from overcoming the odds and risking lifeand limb in a perilous situation not the faux valor that comes from defeating supervillains when the chance offailure is slim or none. Does our society not love the story of the everyday man that saves a child from a burn-ing building or rushing river? In HackMaster, your character will be asked time and time again to display trueheroism, to overcome personal and situational deficiencies and rise to the challenge. This is not to say that othergames are not fun, but I submit to you, gentle reader, that the journey from hero to superhero is less rewarding(and therefore less enjoyable) than the journey from average to hero to superhero. In HackMaster the most atyp-ical thing about your character vis-à-vis society is his will to strive against the odds and make his mark in theworld.

If problem solving is the essence of roleplaying, then the journey to hero is the ultimate method of play. Themultiplicity and diversity of available quandaries in HackMaster-type play unquestionably exceeds those of the‘begin play as hero’ types of game. Why bother ensuring your character carries enough rope when your party wiz-ard can simply conjure some? With every move, from positioning in combat, to how rooms are searched, toequipping properly and so-on, if your characters begin as everyman, you’ll need to think through each and everyaspect of play. Your characters will need to work as a team and plan to overcome obstacles. And when you doprevail, you will experience a feeling of exhilaration like no other – knowing you succeeded by relying on yourwits and gaming skill rather than the sheer awesome power of your character. This is what sets this game apart.Play HackMaster for a few sessions and you will realize that this is the last fantasy roleplaying game you will everneed.

The world of HackMaster needs heroes like you – steel your nerve, ready your wits and answer the call!

For those who are still on the fence or unconvinced onthe new HackMaster, we’ve put together a short articleto cover the whys and wherefores of the new system rel-ative to the other systems on the market (current andpast). If this article doesn’t answer all your questions,feel free to drop us an email or visit our discussionboards at www.kenzerco.com.

WHY PLAY HACKMASTER?Certainly there are many rules systems available out

there, either already on your shelf or tugging at yourpocket book. While we certainly understand, with alldue respect, if you aren’t playing HackMaster, you’remissing out on a unique and awesome fantasy role-playing experience.

HackMaster is all about the journey to becoming ahero – rather than beginning play as a superhero ofsome skill, HackMaster characters begin play hardlybetter than peasants (although better equipped to someextent). It plays closer to The Hobbit and The Lord of theRings than Superman. Here characters grow into theirheroic feats and beat the odds despite their overwhelm-ing nature, generally by using wit and teamwork ratherthan overpowering weaker opponents through superiorfirepower. If this sounds like the gaming experience youlike, prefer or want to try, we feel pretty strongly that ifyou play HackMaster for 3-4 sessions, it will becomeyour fantasy game of choice. But don’t take our word forit – after all, we’re biased since we designed the game.Below are some comments I found around the ‘net onwhat makes HackMaster better than current/formerFRPGs that fans had been playing:

“HackMaster combat uses opposed dice rolls for theattacker and defender so you always feel like you have ahand in your fate, and also everyone can potentially moveevery second. These two things keep every character con-tinuously involved in combat. There is no, 'I can't do any-thing else until my next turn' any longer.”

“HackMaster has half-orcs, gnomes andseveral unique character races available intheir core rulebook - but no absurd racesthat make play balance extremely difficultto maintain or challenge your suspension ofdisbelief. There are no half-dragons inHackMaster.”

“HackMaster has a dynamic combat sys-tem, but a tremendous amount of the gameis focused on exploration and roleplay.Story Awards are written into the game as away to gain experience points, and playerscan sometimes gain more EPs from avertinga fight than they could've gained for trounc-ing their enemies. Not to mentionHackMaster takes place in a dynamic set-ting, one that is rich, established and mysterious.”

“HackMaster places an emphasis on magic items beingextremely special. You won't find minor magical items underrocks in every village - acquiring a magical item is a realaccomplishment. HackMaster has made magic special andwondrous once again, like when I first started playing.”

“In HackMaster, potential Knights begin as ordinaryfighters and must prove their worthiness. Paladins are cho-sen from the ranks of experienced Knights.”

“In HackMaster, rolling for good ability scores is part ofthe challenge. You roll a straight 3d6 and receive in-gamerewards for not swapping them around. The average stat issomething like ~11ish, but it also increases at every singlelevel. The longer you live, the better you get. Also, by encour-aging a random distribution of stats, you’ll find smart orcharismatic fighters, for example. Every character really hasa unique flavor as you find ways to compensate for unusualdeficiencies or strengths. Coupled with optional quirks andflaws, every character is completely different even if playingthe same race and class as the last character.”

“HackMaster is easy to GM, the combat system is activeand fun, and the designers create for the love of the game.A new GM will pick up this game without difficulty. TheBasic book contains everything needed to get started--noextra charts required.”

“I love the way combat works. I used to hate wait-ing...waiting for my turn to come up. Waiting for the guystougher than me to make their attacks. Waiting to see ifthey hit while the GM consulted the charts... This is real-timeand engaged. It has tension. Even a low attack roll can hit ifthe defender's roll is weak enough.”

“The D-Team is writing a game that they want to play.There is no giant toy company looking over their shoulderswhile they write. HackMaster is a creative endeavorinspired by the fun of sitting around a table slinging dicewith friends.”

“HackMaster has saving throws against poisons andmagic, not to mention it uses percentage dice for skillchecks. The skill system allows for growth in skills but yourgrowth is not essentially eliminated by the ‘DC’ increase by

the GM – mostly the skills are used competitively againstNPCs and traps allowing for some value in increasingweaker skills. I find that both the jack-of-all-trades and spe-cialists routes have their place. In my old game you had topick skills and follow them forever lest you fall behind and itbecomes useless.”

“HackMaster has the 9-point alignment system, andalso has an honor system which gives in-game rewards toplayers who play their characters as rolled. This includestheir alignment (if you are talented at playing neutral evil, itis to your benefit) and also the option of quirks and flaws,for which having and playing also bestows you with furtherbenefits. Roleplaying has really been emphasized morethan any game I’ve seen.”

If you'veplayed New School D&D, you'll find a system thatimproves on a lot of the things you've come to love. Butbest of all, the rules are extremely modular. Use whatyou like. Leave out what you don't. It won't hurt game-play one bit.

The Hacklopedia of Beasts set the bar for thecore books to follow in the new HackMaster edition.

Like Aces and Eights, these are massive tomes with leatheredcovers and color throughout that inspires the reader.
