Aborea (2011)

The Aborea box contains all the necessary rules and background information in a beginner-friendly format.

• Spielerheft (Player's book) - 54 pages
• Spielleiterheft (GM's book) - 48 pages

The Spielerheft starts with an interactive introduction for new players that describes the main features while leading the player through a small encounter scene. This is followed by a short solo adventure. The book covers character creation, skill checks, combat, races and classes, magic, pantheons and rites.

The Spielleiterheft prepares newbie GM's to direct their first adventure, which is also included. It has a wilderness and a dungeon part. The book adds advanced and optional rules, details the kingdom of Trion, provides some adventure ideas, and also has a short bestiary and some magic items.

• A laminated color map of the village of Leet (42cm x 59.5cm / 16.6" x 23.5")

In late 2012, the expanded Aborea (2. Auflage) was published, which included a third booklet (adventures and some extra creatures). The booklets have slightly sturdier binding than in first printing. The first two booklets are updated and have some new content, too - most significantly two new classes (bard and shaman) with one new spell list each, which are also available as free PDF downloads.

In December 2014, the revised third edition was published, incorporating errata and clarifications of the second edition, (usually positive) adjustments to ranged attacks in a new close distance category of 1-3 m and a distinction between dedicated throwing axes, knives and spears and their normal variants (a -2 penalty on an attack roll if throwing the latter), all of which is also available in the form of two free PDF documents.
