Wayward Kickstarters - Myth & Magic Player's Guide - Available on Lulu - $9.99


Truth to tell, the whole Myth & Magic Player's Guide Kickstarter experience has soured me on what is otherwise a damn good presentation of 2e. I really expected anthrax or urine to accompany my copy of the Player's Guide, and I know I only got my copy because Tom hoped it would shut me up.

  4. Not even worth a print copy at this point. Second edition deserves better representation. This is not that game.

  6. Ahhh Tom Ryan, my favorite shyster lawyer! I'm glad that this is available in such a way that he won't profit from it.
    If only his GMG would ever get posted in such a way...

  7. This is a good game that needs to be available to us. Any idea how to get a pdf GMG?
