The Maelstrom RPG, published in 1984 was a small but popular game, released partly on the success of the Fighting Fantasy books, also from Puffin. Written by Alexander Scott, a teenager at the time, the game soon gathered a loyal following. Despite being in print for only a short time, the game has developed something of a cult following, and the herbal section has inspired many net-based RPG herbals.

Maelstrom, the classic roleplaying game of Tudor England is back. Republished last year under license by Arion Games, we have continued to publish support materials to make your game even better. Now you can even have paper miniatures specifically designed for Maelstrom. With nobles, mercenaries, craftsmen, soldiers and more, this bumper set of 34 miniatures provides many of the characters, adversaries and bystanders you will need for any Tudor or Elizabethan game.

25 years after the original publication of the Maelstrom RPG, Arion Games are pleased to announce that the Maelstrom Companion is almost here. Pending a few last minute licensing points, the Companion will be released both as a pdf version, and as a print-on-demand book. With a fantastic cover by Chris Waller, and nearly 150 pages of Tudor-inspired goodness, this book will enhance and expand your game.

Arion Games have provided new livings, new rules (including for guns!), new magic, campaign ideas and a huge amount of setting information, including a whole town to explore! There are other Maelstrom products also ready for release, so watch this space for more information!
