Dragonroar is a fantasy role-playing game published by Standard Games in 1985 that was the first of its kind published in the UK.
Dragonroar is an introductory level miniatures-oriented fantasy system, emphasizing combat between heroes and monsters.[1] The game includes a rulebook, an introductory adventure, 25mm-scale floor plans, and a cassette tape introducing the game (side one) and the scenario (side two).[1]
The centre of the rulebook contains a map of "Home" (the Dragonroar campaign world).[2] Each character in Dragonroar can either be a Warrior or Wizard, and has statistics measured as five characteristics: Strength, Speed, Willpower, Knowledge and Endurance.[2] Characters can gain honour points, which players can use to improve the characters and advance their Life Level.[2] The skills system is organized into a series of hierarchies which become increasingly specialized as the player character progresses on a hierarchy.[2]
