Contents

Publication history

Advanced Melee was written by Steve Jackson and published by Metagaming Concepts in 1980 as a 32-page book.[1]

Jackson intended for The Fantasy Trip to be published as a boxed set, but publisher Howard M. Thompson decided that the price was too high and so he split the game into four separate books: Advanced Melee (1980), which expanded the Melee system, Advanced Wizard (1980), In the Labyrinth (1980), and the adventure Tollenkar's Lair (1980).[2]: 79–80 

Reception

Steve Perrin reviewed Advanced Melee for Different Worlds and stated that "All in all, Advanced Melee is well worth the money. Don't pay any attention to the publisher's attempt to get you to buy the Microgame, Melee is dead, long live Advanced Melee!"[3]
