Mazes: A Handbook for the Player (Polymorph RPG)

Descend into the Dark

Mazes: A Handbook for the Player is your essential guide to the award-winning Polymorph roleplaying game of dungeon crawling and dark fantasy. This handbook provides everything a player needs to create a character, understand the rules, and survive the dangers lurking within the maze.

The Polymorph System

Mazes utilizes the innovative Polymorph system, designed by 9th Level Games. In this system, your character's "role" determines which polyhedral die you roll for every action. Whether you are a stalwart Vanguard or a cunning Thief, your die (be it a d4, d6, d8, or d10) dictates your success. This streamlined approach keeps the focus on the narrative and the tension of the crawl, rather than complex math or constant table-referencing.
