Contents

Publication history

In the Labyrinth was written by Steve Jackson and published by Metagaming in 1980 as an 80-page book.
Jackson planned for The Fantasy Trip to be released as a boxed set, but publisher Howard M. Thompson decided that the price was too high and so he split the product into four books: Advanced Melee, which had the combat extensions to the Melee system, Advanced Wizard, which had the magic extensions, In the Labyrinth, which had the Games Master rules, and Tollenkar's Lair, which was a GM adventure.

Reception

reviewed In The Labyrinth in Ares Magazine #3 and commented that "ITL is as good as any FRP system currently available commercially. It has the Metagaming hallmark of easy accessibility, but also has the limitations usually found in the company's game."
