[QUOTE="Croesus, post: 5523866, member: 35019"] In 1979 my gaming group alternated between D&D and the latest AH/SPI boardgames. I remember when this one came out, there were several articles in the General where the designers admitted they hadn't done a very good job with the rules. After reading the articles, it looked too complicated for what we wanted, so we gave it a pass. I vaguely remember that one of the players had a chance to play it and wasn't terribly impressed. That said, AH talked of producing a 2nd edition rulebook that would address most of these issues. It appears one was produced, but I'm not sure how you can get it. By the time it came out, my own group was busy with other games and passed again. Here's a list of articles from the General, in case you have access to them: 16-4, The Magical Mystery Tour, Analysis, 3, Richard Hamblen 16-4, Additional Rules Systems For Magic Realm,Variant, 11, Richard Hamblen 16-4, Magic Realm Errata & Additions, Designer's Notes, 13, Design Analysis, Richard Hamblen 17-5, My Son, the Berserker, Strategy, 41, An Inside Tour of the Magic Realm, Jim Stahler 20-2, What am I Bid For ...,Variant, 15, Varying Prices in Magic Realm, Edward Connery 21-5, Which Way the Witch King,Strategy, 14, A MAgic Realm Seminar, Paul R.
