## Background Founded in 1975 and actively publishing until 1991 (limping along
afterward to this day [http://www.fantasygamesunlimited.net/]), Fantasy Games
Unlimited (FGU) is known for its large, eclectic, and often very influential
collection of published games
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantasy_Games_Unlimited#Publications]. It is
known in particular for the first “realistic” medieval RPG (Chivalry & Sorcery),
two of the earliest RPGs set in Feudal Japan (Land of the Rising Sun and
Bushido), the superhero crime-fighting game Villains & Vigilantes (a game that
gave Champions a run for its money for a long time), and the first game with a
focus on non-humanoid characters (Bunnies & Burrows) that also provided the
first detailed martial arts system (!) and detailed skills system (!!). ## About

wargame, or RPG, including offshoots of them like the post-2nd edition Chivalry
