Default Does the ITL book contain the Advanced Wizard/Melee rules?

I have these games from years ago. Does the new ITL book contain the rules that were in Advanced Melee and Advanced Wizard? Or am I just missing them on the Warehouse 23 page?

Thanks!

It's a combination of all three.

As you can see from the preview at http://www.warehouse23.com/products/...-the-labyrinth

There are sections titled "ADVANCED COMBAT" which covers the old "Advanced Melee" rulebook and "ADVANCED MAGIC" which covers the old "Advanced Wizard" rulebook.

The first edition of AM/AW/ITL had a total of 35+42+83 = 160 pages, with some of these pages being the megahex pullouts.

The new legacy edition of ITL has a total of 179 pages, with the megahex set provided separately. Some of the extra material being the base rules that the first edition depended on the Melee and Wizard boardgame for.

Therefore the ITL rulebook is a complete role playing game and can be used to run modules like Death Test.

If you don't have the ITL rulebook then you could combine the new Melee and Wizard boardgames with the new Death Test module.

Under the new legacy edition the wording in ITL, Melee and Wizard have been mostly aligned, except for a few cases where ITL's gear, talents and different spell list makes a difference.

If you do have the ITL rulebook then the Melee and Wizard boardgames are mostly useful for simplified arena play with quicker character creation, at the expense of RPG depth.

Yes.

Also
1) The Talents and Spells are in alphabetical order in their IQ sections, which makes looking them up easier.

2) There is an Index now!

3) It is also in PDF form, which means you can do a search and it will find all circumstances of the word.
