Powers & Perils

Role-Playing Games

Powers & Perils, often abbreviated P&P, is a fantasy role-playing game designed by Richard Snider and published by Avalon Hill in 1984. It was a complex game and was Avalon Hill's first venture into the role-playing game market. It proved a commercial failure. Like other tabletop role-playing games it asks a group of players to take on characters in an imagined fantasy world under a set of written rules.
