Fantasy Earth: The Book of Magic
Fantasy Earth: The Book of Magic is a supplement published by Zody Games in 1994 for the fantasy role-playing game "Fantasy Earth". Description. "Fantasy Earth: The Book of Magic" is a 148-page perfect-bound book designed by Michael Zody, with art by Andy Jones. The book describes the simple magic system used in the "Fantasy Earth" role-playing game. It also details several hundred spells. Reception. 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."
