Game Summary

This book contains a complete role-playing game. Wayfarers is an elegant mix of 'old school' and 'new school' sensibilities.

A focused skill system enables players to create classical archetypes such as the wizard, warrior, priest or rogue, or to construct an entirely unique persona. With dozens of interesting skills, four distinct types of magic, and over 500 spells, the possibilities for characters are limitless.

For the Game Master, this source book includes hundreds of detailed creatures, enchanted items, useful analysis, optional rules, and the vivid World of Twylos campaign setting.

4 + 5Web Warlock. A good, fun game with some very interesting twists in both its rules and background. It does have some hurdles to overcome of why someone would want to play if they are not already familiar. Others can use it a source book for their own FRPGs.
4 + 4Will Mistretta. Wayfarers is really two books in one. The first was just okay, but the second blew my socks off!

10 / 10tigsmri"Classic Fantasy Gaming at is Finest" I would definitely suggest Wayfarers. It is the first system I have ran/played that brings back the memories of when I first started playing AD&D in the early eighties. The rules are unique yet seem somehow familiar and never seem to get in the way. Character creation is simple and individual characters are strikingly different from one another. The World of Twylos is brilliant, lots of detail but enough room to make it your own. Ye Olde Gaming Companye (YOGC) - Jimmy Swill & Gregory Vrill, hands down the best and most accessible publishers I have ever met. The Wayfarers Role Playing Game (Hardcover) is a nice addition to any game library. Like every RPG minor issues arise and need to be addressed, but Wayfarers RPG at its core is awesome and I am glad I am on board this evolutionary game ride. Wayfarers Role Playing Game is definitely a game system that I will be running/playing for years to come.
10 / 10Ars MysteriorumAn all-around enjoyable romp in nostalgia while also being a refreshingly new take on classic fantasy gaming. Brilliant. This is the prize among my collection. If I could give it an 11 to show this status, I would.
