Review: Fantasy-Tech 2 - Weapons of Fantasy

Get it!

About a month or two ago, I reviewed the first volume, itself a pretty good book, especially if you are the type who prefers fully developed "catalogs" to "toolkits" for designing new equipment. In short, while the first installment ranges from "ok" to "good" to "nifty," this book is almost a must buy. Read further to find out why I think so.

Review: Fantasy-Tech 1 - The Edge of Reality

Catomaton

I specifically bought this book when Fantasy-Tech 2 came out and caught my attention, and I thought it would be weird to have book 2 and not book 1. In the end, both books are pretty good for a fantasy setting where one wants more exotic equipment. The stuff is useful and unique, while, for better or for worse, pretty grounded in thoughtful "what-ifs?" That is to say, the stuff is cool for a "realistic" fantasy setting, but all the same, I'd kinda like to see some really gonzo stuff in a later installment if the series continues. Anyway, let's take a closer look then.
