Atlantis is a fantasy role-playing game (RPG) originally published by Bard Games, [1] set in the ancient world before Atlantis sank. It first consisted of three books: The Arcanum, The Lexicon, and The Bestiary, and for this reason was originally called The Atlantean Trilogy or The Atlantis Trilogy.

In 1988, following the publication of a second edition of The Arcanum, Bard Press combined The Lexicon and The Bestiary into a single book, Atlantis: The Lost World. [4] Sechi would go on to produce the role-playing game Talislanta, also published by Bard Games in 1987.
The Bestiary, subtitled A Compendium of Creatures and Beings from the Lost World of Atlantis, is a supplement published by Bard Games in 1986 for The Atlantean Trilogy fantasy role-playing game, later known simply as Atlantis.

The Arcanum is the first book in The Atlantean Trilogy.It includes a role-playing system largely based on the rules for Dungeons & Dragons, [1] but the generic information about the character classes and magic can also be used without the role-playing system, and adapted to another fantasy role-playing system such as D&D or RuneQuest to add an Atlantean flavor to the game.
