Two things: 1) that review was based on the first printing which was full of typos, unclear rules and a host of now errata’d items AND 2) at the time, I had never played it, only completed a read-through of the rules. It might also interest some of you to know that I have also written a previous review of Fantasy Craft on another site that was far more critical and it’s probably still available for those that want to search it out. I feel it’s important to let everyone know that up font so you can account for any bias I may leave in my review. To say that I’m a fan of this system is a little like saying John Lennon was a musician – technically true but lacking the depth of complete truth. There is no official setting in this book (though the Adventure Companion has three) though there is a bit of a Lord of the Rings vibe – but doesn’t most generic fantasy have that vibe? This is a toolkit system for pretty much any fantasy game you can dream up. This review is of the second printing (it’s still the only aka original edition). Tagline: Your Dungeon, Your Dragon, Your Way.
