You probably remember sitting around with your friends playing Mazes and Monsters back in the 80s, but your mom threw away all your M&M stuff during the Tom Hanks Scare of ’82. And original Mazes and Monsters gamebooks are so hard to find on eBay! How are you supposed to play M&M retro clones?
Problem solved! I’ve lovingly restored the Mazes and Monsters game board onto hand-crafted free PDFs. Just print out two of each PDF and tape them together.

Between this and the Maze Controller’s screen, you’re just about ready to descend into a spiral of fantasy and madness. Candles not included!
Coming in a week or two: Paper-doll minis, suitable for Mazes and Monsters, or for any game system that features fighters, holy men, and frenetics.

Looks awesome! I am so looking forward to that glorious day when you release this!
Three words: You are brilliant.
Somehow I feel mazed: I found the chapters 1-5 and chapter 10, the screen, the board, but the rest is lost to me…
I really hope you haven’t stopped working on this.
Hey its been a few months are you still working on this? It would be sad to see it dropped.
Thanks for asking! I had gotten away from it for a few months, but now that I’ve finished some other projects, I’ll get back to it! It should only take a few more sessions for it to be ready to release.
Just stopping by to say this is still awesome!
just found this now – holy shit this is amazing!
This is terrific! Please please please don’t stop making the “M&M” retro-clone!
Don’t give up on this! This is brilliant! 😀
Just stopping by again to show my continued support. This is still one of my favorite retro-clone ideas. BTW I finally got around to looking through the original book and their is another class not shown in the movie that Daniel plays. I can’t remember the exact name but it is essentially a thief. So when you decide to cash in on Mazes and Monsters revised 2.5 edition their will be another superfluous class to add ;P
Has this been abandoned? I hope not, because it’s a truly awesome idea.
Its disappointing that this hasn’t seen any update for so long. Maybe some day it will get revived or another person will take up the reigns.
Where are the other chapters of the rules?
You ever gonna finish this? I want to see the whole damn thing!
Several years later:
We still want the full book.
Any updates?
Loved reading this, as much as I loved (& hated) the film when it first played in ’81 and simultaneously promoted & demonized my beloved childhood hobby.
Would love a copy of the final PDF, or at least as much as you completed (given the pages you previewed). Folks would probably also love your playtest adventure notes.
