A must for game masters and players alike.,
This review is from: The Fantasy Roleplaying Gamer's Bible (Paperback)
Sean P. Fannon has written a book that will stand in my mind as one of the best books on roleplaying so far. He's done a thorough research into the history of roleplaying, covering everything from the early wargames to the latest ear of live action rpg. The language is very "gamerish", and as such very laid-back. The editorial remarks throughout the book increases the humorous aspect of it, not to mention the "Dork Tower" strips by John Kovalic.A book you everyone should read, gamer or not, for this is a work of art!

An Excellent Introduction,
By Robert Grady - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Fantasy Roleplaying Gamer's Bible (Paperback)
Heroic Worlds is still the definitive book on role-playing games, but The Fantasy Roleplaying Gamer's Bible cannot be faulted for a lack of depth or breadth. This is an excellent introduction to role-playing games. It is worth noting that this book was published in 1999, shortly before some very important developments that made the modern gaming scene what it is.

Great Resource for a RPG beginner!,
By Wade M. Wallace "hermetic" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Fantasy Roleplaying Gamer's Bible (Paperback)
Sean Fannon has done an admirable job in writing a book that easily introduces role-playing games (RPGs) to someone who knows nothing of that strange but wonderful sub-culture, but is curious to know more. Fannon's style is readable and entertaining, balancing tons of useful information with bits of whimsy (the editor's constant "berating" of Fannon in the footnotes for Fannon's endless use of puns is especially funny). You get the history of RPGs, the general outline of how they are played, how to find other gamers, etc. And as a special bonus, you get the art of John Kovalic (of DORK TOWER fame) throughout the book. The only quibbles I have are that the book is not well edited; paragraphs run together sometimes, and some of the "bordered" text runs outside the borders. Also, old gamers will find much of this info redundant, having lived through it all before. In all, though, this is an excellent book for new gamers.
