Fools and Heroes World Background

Fools & Heroes has a rich background history developed over many years of game play. However this background has never been collected together in one place. The object of this page is to collate information (of any sort) that relates to the background and history of F&H.

The material here has come from many places, the now defunct Legends board (of which I only kept a small number of items), old copies of the Norham Herald and before that Rubber Swords, numerous branch and guild newsletters and websites, not to mention the F&H noticeboards. Some of this material is over 10 years old and its unclear to me whether or not it is still consistent with the various national and local campaigns. I've tried to indicate the source of everything so you can make up your minds. I've not made any attempt to discover or contact the original authors of this material. If you recognise anything as belonging to you please get in touch. Similarly any material you may have relating to the campaign world is happily received. Submissions of any kind are welcome. I will accept emails, floppies, photocopies or even originals (I promise faithfully to return them). Emails should be sent to lad@cs.nott.ac.uk, hard copy can be given to me at fests and exec meetings or sent to my address (which your LO should have). You may also wish to subscribe to the FnH History Email List.

Those interested in the world background should also check out the F&H wiki

NB. These pages are permanently under construction.
