Just found out about this
What is it?
Lost Worlds is a "combat picture book game" designed and trademarked by Alfred Leonardi.
How is it played?
Play requires two players and at least two "visual combat books", with each player choosing a character (i.e., a book) from those available.At the start of play, each player removes the character sheet for that character from their book and hands the book to his or her opponent. The character sheet lists the various combat actions which the character can take during the battle. The combat book lists the effects of the attacks in tables, and serves as a visual reference for what the other player is doing. Hence, each player views entries in the book from a first-person perspective, seeing only their opponent and not themselves.
There is also a further series of books, of emphatically female fighter-types, under the collective title of Queen's Blade, published from late 2005 by Hobby Japan. With more than 20 books the books were generally new illustrations for existing combat matrices, rather than "new" characters (although at least one doujin has utilised what appears to be a "new matrix"). As of December 2007 a second series, Queen's Gate, was introduced, featuring characters from Japanese visual media, and in October 2008 Hobby Japan announced four further characters in a sub-set of the original series (Queen's Blade Rebellion).

alright, if you turn to scroll 50 (your selection) in the goblin.pdf and reference it with #60 (my move), you get pic related.
I do the opposite in the knight book and see that I hit you with "Score 1". However, the maneuver gives -5, so no damage now.
>Knight may not make red or orange moves next turn.

My money is on the knight
>>
i have made my move selection. choose a maneuever (not red/orange, choose from normal range), guys
>>
>>50254058
Low Thrust? That's PG 14, with mod +1, right?
>>
>>50254112
not for the goblin, and especially not at extended range. (see extended range list at bottom of sheet, has different damage mods)
>>
>>50254135
I thought we were at close range. Do we need to make a long-distance move?
Charge, I guess. I'm still kind of confused as to how this works.
>>
>>50254194
Ah, sorry, I was confused. I thought you were referring to my move last turn (which was low thrust).
You can choose Low Thrust, alright. It's #14 with Dam +0. I chose Down Swing (#44, +2). Let's see.

faggots, you hit me. taking damage (+0). 9 life left
>no thrusts or red for knight next turn
make your move
>>
>>50254276
Oh, I get it. We pick our page, you pick your page, and we use the number on the page we picked that matches the number of the maneuver you picked to get the page we go to.
I pick Strong Side Swing then (Orange, pg 28)

I chose Dodge (+8), trying to get behind you.
Let's see...
Oh, man. That ain't good. Another, 4 damage, down to 5 life.
>no thrust or red next turn for knight

I roll for understanding the game... 2... I have no idea what is going on here but it seems cool
>>
>>50256066
the posted pdfs contain the rules
>>
>>50253449
I don't suppose you have PDFs of the BattleTech and Warhammer licensed versions they made of these?
Should whip out the Manticore after this battle, he's OP as fuck.
>>
>>50249078
Weren't there some licensed adaptations for this?
>>
>>50253449
Can you host those somewhere like mega for people to download please?
