Review

My experiences with this game had so far only been with the edition that was out in the late 70's/early 80's, but when this came out, I was really curious, because for the first time (and my apologies to the people who played the Avalon Hill version) I had so much information in one volume! Not only were there the game mechanics, but information on the world itself. You dont have to have three or four books, at least to start if yu are a player. And there are tons of illustrations and several maps. The binding on my hardbound edition is nice, it seems like the book will last a good long time.The setting is unique in that it is bronze-age rather than middle-ages, and that religion plays a big part. Combat is much more serious, and detailed, and can seem kind of clunky at times. In fact, the tone of the game is more serious than D&D, and I have noticed that people really get into the cults on the social media pages. Cults can be good or bad in this world, and which diety you worship has an affect on skills you may have, and your magical abilities. There are a lot of little details in this world you need to pay attention to. This may not be for everyone.As I said there are maps, and tables, and tabes, and more tables. The artwork ranges from fair to good and there is a lot of it. If you want to play this game, you will need to invest some time but if you have a good group it will be worth it.Edit
