3 + 5RSANFORD. This game is an excellent fantasy, based on Chaosium's Basic Roleplaying (BRP) and Stormbringer Systems. Magic World's D100 system provides powerful, intuitive and easy play rarely found in roleplaying games.
2 + 4Coronoides. Magic World gives the poor first impression of being done in a hurry on too low a budget. This is a shame because it is an excellent streamlined version of the BRP rules.

8 / 10RSANFORDGreat choice for the D&D player looking for an intuitive and easy to play game with more realism. Recommended!
7 / 10FlexiA lazy attempt by Chaosium, mostly consisting of several old Elric supplements. Too much space devoted to old seafaring rules. A decent bestiary apart from the daft Chonchon! All said though, it is a good BRP fantasy game all in one book.
