Lands of Adventure

Lands of Adventure is a role-playing system designed for use with historical settings rather than fantasy worlds.

[3] Lands of Adventure was designed by Lee Gold, with a cover by Bill Willingham, and was published by FGU as a boxed set with a 32-page rulebook, a 28-page "Culture Pack", a sample character record sheet, and dice.

[3] As game critic Rick Swan noted, FGU's plan was to publish more Culture Packs for various historical eras, "However, the game drifted out of print before the concept could be fully explored, making Lands of Adventure a good idea that really never got off the ground.

"[2] Richard Clyne reviewed Lands of Adventure for White Dwarf #58, giving it an overall rating of 5 out of 10, and stated that "Coupled with the expensive price it is a classic case of far-too-little, far-too-late.

If on the other hand you are a veteran gamer who enjoys perusing new games systems and has a few pounds to spare then this is a must.
