Fantasy Earth: The Book of Magic is a supplement published by Zody Games in 1994 for the fantasy role-playing game Fantasy Earth.
Description edit
Fantasy Earth: The Book of Magic is a 148-page perfect-bound book designed by Michael Zody, with art by Andy Jones.[1] The book describes the simple magic system used in the Fantasy Earth role-playing game.[2] It also details several hundred spells.[3]
Reception edit
In the April 1996 edition of Dragon (Issue #228), Rick Swan wondered why any publisher would create a new generic fantasy role-playing game, given the preponderance of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, but then admitted that "Michael Zody forged ahead anyway, with surprisingly credible results." Swan concluded, "I don’t imagine many folks will be abandoning their AD&D Player's Handbook for Fantasy Earth. But if you’re a supporter of the small press, or if you’re looking for a set of ready-made rules to graft onto a homemade setting, you could do worse than this."[2]
