It first began as a series of [[Tabletop Games|role-playing game sessions]], based on a Japanese game ''Sword World RPG'' which was heavily inspired by ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]''. It was [[After Action Report|recorded and transcribed]] into a series of novels by Ryo Mizuno. In 1990, it became an animated 13-part [[OVA]] series, and from then on it branched into movies, manga and TV series (some of which were alternate universe versions of the OVA, but which followed the story in the original novels more closely).

* [[Crapsack World]]: Hey, Lodoss ain't called "The Accursed Island" for nothing. {{spoiler|Lucky that things turned around at the finale of the TV series, or else it would have ended up [[Berserk|like this universe.]]}}
