One stinker that Mayfair dropped on the RPG world was actually a remake of the JG "City State" setting. Woweee.. Centaurs and Nagas as player races? It's only connection to the original was the name. I'll admit, I bought it, based on the artwork and blurb on the box. I still have it, as a reminder to be more selective in my purchases if nothing else. Fortunately it seemed to be an exception to the usual fine work that came out of Mayfair's forges.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-88946616871165701832014-02-26T14:20:32.779-05:002014-02-26T14:20:32.779-05:00My favorite Role Aids products were Lich Lords and...My favorite Role Aids products were Lich Lords and The Keep (an adventure based on the movie of the same name). Lich Lords was a high level death trap, and The Keep was OK as an adaptation of the movie. It twisted the plot into a time travel adventure (which was not in the movie), offering WW2 Nazis as enemies in one sequence. I also have the first volume of their Monsters of Myth and Legend series, and it is OK. I have heard good things about the Lizardfolk and Dark Folk books, but have never read them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-82267563709967096492014-02-25T09:03:44.064-05:002014-02-25T09:03:44.064-05:00I liked the book but it was very uneven in tone an...I liked the book but it was very uneven in tone and style....an orc goddess named.

Role-Aids was starting up around the time JG was winding down ('83 or so).<br /><br />Indeed, Mayfair published a version of the City State. A very odd version.Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06440605975564288373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-35014343027233500362014-02-24T19:30:14.500-05:002014-02-24T19:30:14.500-05:00I love that book.
