It was awesome. For me, it was the best of the three: flavourful classes without lots of mechanical complexity (basically, new spell lists to give theme), better (that is, more interesting) demons to summon than in the MM, and lots of nifty little things you could use if you wanted, like magical runes, symbols of power, and so on.<br /><br /><i>The Adventurer</i> was good, but I never found it quite as interesting.<br /><br />And Tim is mostly right--when Secchi put together <i>the Arcanum</i>, it was a natrual progression from the Compleat books he'd done, but I wouldn't say that it's a compilation of them. <i>The Arcanum</i> has a lot more classes than the Compleat books and gives it's own system (which is a very stripped-down AD&D, which he then stripped down ever further for Talislanta).<br /><br />Um...fanboy gushing over now.Matthew Slepinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04056247825064943944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-60716706081969343402010-04-16T10:42:33.745-07:002010-04-16T10:42:33.745-07:00@ Stu #2: That's what I was thinking, too.

I'll have to give it another look. Pretty sure it wasn't $5 though. Nice!<br /><br />Same thing with a copy of Chivalry & Sorcery (the '77 edition). I've pulled that one off the shelf quite a few times, and ended up putting it back. Been trying to limit my (over-)spending on too many RPG products. I don't have time enough to play my fave system. What do I think I'm gonna do with all these others?

Of course I had the Compleat Spellcaster given my fondness for witches and was pretty neat.<br /><br />They were all later combined into one book called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcanum_(role-playing_game)" rel="nofollow">The Arcanum</a>, which I also have.<br /><br />I am happy for your find!Timothy S.
