The Hercules & Xena Roleplaying Game is a role-playing game based on the Hercules & Xena TV programs.

Publication history[]

The Hercules & Xena Roleplaying Game was written and developed by and published by West End Games in 1998.

West End Games designed the d6 System (1996) based on its Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game, and then designed a new variant of the system called "d6 prime", and the first game using the new d6 prime system was The Hercules & Xena Roleplaying Game (1998), although this game would be one of West End's final publications. By the end of June, 1998, West End's production had been cut back to its three final d6 lines: Star Wars, Men in Black and Hercules & Xena.[1]: 194 

The Hercules & Xena Roleplaying Game was the last title released by the original West End Games before their bankruptcy, as well as the first to use a modified D6 System based resolution engine that would later be known as the Legend System.

Reception[]

The reviewer from the online second volume of Pyramid stated that "The Hercules & Xena Roleplaying Game is a good starter game for beginning roleplayers."[2]
