Record of Lodoss War II is a collection of serialized replays from the Japanese gaming magazine Comptiq which appeared in the late 1980s. It is a sequel to the popular Record of Lodoss War: The Original Replays from Comptiq Magazine. For reference, a “replay” is a transcript of a role playing game session, capturing the interaction between the players and the Dungeon Master. Replays are extremely popular in Japan, and Record of Lodoss War is considered the grandfather of the genre.
The original story of Record of Lodoss War followed a party of six adventurers on an epic quest across Lodoss, the “accursed island” using Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (2nd Edition). This replay proved so popular that it was turned into a novel, an animated TV series and spawned a vast array of derivative products, including its own roleplaying game, Sword World RPG (1st Edition).
The sequel follows a new party of heroes on their own epic quest across the island of Lodoss, five years after the events detailed in the first Record of Lodoss War.
