TooFatLardies Wiki

Warning - this wiki is out of date
This wiki was set up in January 2011. Most of what is found here was written that month and only a few people have ever contributed. Efforts like this require sustained community effort and it just didn't happen.

Things have moved on a bit since then - TooFatLardies have released new rules, new editions of old rules and much, much more. None of this is really reflected here, though there is still some useful material to be found in these pages.
