Labyrinth Lord Non-Human PCs Across the Ages

This book celebrates one of the great and unique joys of playing Labyrinth Lord: adventuring with non-human player character types from all three early eras of the Original Game in the same party.

Labyrinth Lord allows you to play all of the earliest versions of Dwarves, Elves, and Halflings, whether they're from the 1974 Original Edition Game, the 1981 B/X Game, or the 1977-1989 Advanced First Edition Game. The rules for these characters are in Original Edition Characters (OEC), core Labyrinth Lord (LL), and the Advanced Edition Companion (AEC), which also adds the Gnome, Half-Elf, and Half-Orc from the Advanced era.  All such characters are fully compatible and can even be in the same party, thus allowing for thrilling situations where players can potentially experience up to three different early game eras simultaneously. 

This Codex is designed to help players fully appreciate this amazing game feature and make informed choices when selecting character types for them. It has three purposes: 

  • Provide handy reference summaries of the OEC, LL, and AEC versions of the three core races side-by-side, as well as the three AEC-only races, allowing for gamers to compare, contrast, and select
  • Present optional non-human trait tables for customizing non-human PCs for OEC, LL, AEC, the Original Game, and other retro-clones - over 60 new traits!
  • List other sources of Labyrinth Lord non-human PC rules and new non-human types

Relive all the early eras of the Original Game, with the help of this guide!

Premium color edition is staple-bound for extra ease of keeping open at the gaming table; standard color edition is perfect bound. All editions are digest-sized.

If you like playing non-humans in other old-school RPGs, be sure to check out  Non-Human Player Codex for Swords & Wizardry Complete and Non-Human Player Codex for Swords & Wizardry Light as well.

Thanks for the feedback! My book is more about the standard races, however I do have a chapter devoted to listing and summarizing many other Labyrinth Lord books with rules for new non-human PC races. Of those that I mention that feature Goblins/Orcs/Ogres, I have: Book of Fantasy Races (A. Hagen), Hill Cantons Compendium II (Chris Kutalik), Hercynian Grimoire (James Mishler and Jodi-Moran Mishler), Ogres of the Olden Lands (James Mishler and Jodi-Moran Mishler), and Class Compendium (James M. Spahn).

Thanks for the reply. I have Class Compendium. Would you consider making a book like Orcs of Thar that is dedicated to humanoid classes?

I'm flattered that you would like to see more work from me! I would do something like that but I feel like the books I mentioned have already done such a good job with monster non-human PC classes.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
