Want to dive into the wacky world of fantasy for a while without wading through hundreds of pages of rules? Take a look inside!

  • The world of Median, an outline setting taking a fond sideways look at fantasy gaming standards.
  • The PDQ System, a simple, fast and flexible set of rules emphasising story more than tactics. As seen in the best-selling Truth & Justice and Dead Inside.
  • A “build your own” approach - use the framework and add the gods, organisations and character types your gaming group wants in your stories.

 

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING

Kenneth Hite's Out of the Box Awards: Honourable Mention, Best New RPG of 2006 category

"Bravo for creating a game world that's likable, amusing, and open for expansion. But here's the dirty little secret: you don't have to play for laughs. It works at that level, of course, but if you just need a fantasy game system that plays easily, encourages broad characterization, and doesn't bog down in details, pick up Questers of the Middle Realms. It's a fun game, a fun read, and a bargain too."
Bob Portnell, Pyramid magazine

"...uses the PDQ system very well to model the type of game that it's going for. ... I think that it's a great design to capture that old-school fantasy gaming feel without capturing the frustration that a lot of the old-school fantasy systems brought in."
Paul Tevis, Have Games Will Travel #75

"Questers of the Middle Realms is a well-designed game, with a simple and elegant rules system. The design the world as you go approach built into the game is a neat innovation, and it fits the style and tone of the setting perfectly. The setting itself is intentionally and cleverly cliched, with a bare bones level of detail reminiscent of the original D&D campaign settings."
Andrew Branstad, RPGNow staff reviewer

"In terms of the rules, QMR offers a lot of innovations on the basic PDQ engine, most of which I think are pretty cool. ... If you're into humorous fantasy that tends towards the wry, modified PDQ rules, or general beer 'n pretzel RPGs, I recommend looking into this game."
Chad Underkoffler, PDQ creator
