Fantastic Heroes & Witchery is an OSR game that proposes a lot of options: more classes (more than 30), more races (traditional and others), more spells (666 exactly); in fact more of everything*. Yet, if you are already familiar with any other retro-clone or simulacrum of the OSR movement, you already know the rules: nothing to re-learn. Fantastic Heroes & Witchery proposes 430 pages of rules to play either in the vanilla fantasy, dark fantasy, or swords & planets genres, with its rules on corrupting sorcery, technological equipment, and much more. The PDF is fully bookmarked, providing a complete index and table of contents with hyperlinks, that will make navigation within its pages very easy.

(* Note however, that Fantastic Heroes & Witchery doesn't provide monsters and magical items. These will come in future supplements. Nonetheless, as FH&W is compatible with most games of the OSR movement, you can use creatures and magic items coming from such sources without need for conversions.)

Could someone at DOM reply with a link to a version that is not security protected? I want to split the text into two sections, not spells and spells, for home printing.

I emailed the author and he confirmed that he has abandoned this product and has no intent to revisit it. Here is the exact quote from his email: "I don't plan to do or write anything further, rpg-wise. Sorry. I abandoned the whole subject a couple of years ago."

It's still a great system.

This guy did a great job of blending old school and ascending AC/attacks. It would be a great starting point to make your own system modifications. I have used this with the old Mongoose Conan rules to simplify 3.5e rules and take out magic. I added some Castles and Crusades class development and critical hits/misses from Hackmaster for house rules. I think it is well worth the money but no updates in years.

I would love to see the author continue working on this excellent game. Has he said anything about the status of the game and its promised supplements?

I might take this one to my friendly neighborhood printshop soon. I'm guessing it's a Letter-sized page?

I have a question. I found out about Lion & Dragon, Dark Albion, and Fantastic Heroes & Witchery from RPG Pundit's YouTube page. I've been toying with the idea of getting one for some time and decided to snag Lion & Dragon today. I was happy that I finally did! I'm reading through it and this is the book I've been waiting for, for a long time. So I decided to pick up some others. I have Dark Albion (the setting apparently) and it's companions -Cults and the adventure available, but I'm wondering what exactly is Fantastic Heroes & Witchery? Is it a companion book to Dark Albion? Or is it a set of rules for Lion & Dragon? The write up, and forgive my confusion, makes it seem like a stand alone or a companion piece to something else? I'd hate to miss out on it so I'm asking if I should snag it with the others? Thank you.

Hey man, as a huge fan of all the books you mentioned, I can answer that. But I'm not related to the publisher or anything, I'm just a fan who has been following the work for years, ok?

L&D and Dark Albion were written by Pundit, they use his own rules set. The publisher of Dark Albion is DOM, which also publishes Fantastic Heroes and Witchery. As you know, L&D is the rules book, Dark Albion is the setting book. Combined they form a full game and you don't need anything else (but the supplements are great, as you know).

FH&W is NOT part of that group of books. This is a HUGE and complete OSR game, with MANY races and classes, with the traditional fantasy races/classes (you know, elves, dwarves...) and also including races/classes for "weird fantasy", "horror fantasy" and "science fantasy" (think Flash Gordon or John Carter and Cthulhu stuff). The book has comprehensive rules for equipment, great rules for combat (classic OSR, with a few ideas...See more

Sad to see that the line seems to be no longer in development.

Is this game getting any further attention from the author? Seems its dead in the water.

Are the other books like: Blasphemous Bestiary still being worked on? Official website hasn't had any updates or anything in some time.

Greetings. I have got both the pdf and the original paperback (2.0 edition). Is there any reason i should get 2.1 hardcover? Are the changes substantial?

On the character sheet, what are the Random number, Maximum number, Sever %, and Facile % columns for next to the ability scores?

This work is just plain awesome. I use it for inspiration and reference. It provides me with everything I always wanted to include in my gaming, but was not creative enough to design myself. For example, I use the XP chart, the suggested rules for preparing lower level spells in place of higher level spells as well as let them wait to prepare some spells later int he day. I use the suggestions for incantations, Friars, etc. It is a beautiful book and a great resource. I highly recommend it. :)

On page 52 of the PDF (I think its the version 2, updated PDF), the Necronimus' Spirit Magic power formula reads: 1d20 + necronimus’ level vs DC = 10 + 2/spell’s level. Is this supposed to be 2 x spells level?

Hopefully this is an appropriate place to ask this, I couldn't find any other place to do so.

Christian S June 14, 2014 7:58 pm UTC

PURCHASER

Not the author, but... yes it is 2 per (i.e. "/") spell level (i.e. 2 x spell level)

Curt M May 18, 2014 7:19 pm UTC

I appreciate your explanation. Your book is a great OSR toolbox; the classes are more like I would design and want to play than the original game. ...looking forward to the scifi book.

Curt M May 13, 2014 8:23 pm UTC

Hi there. I recently purchased the hardcover. Does this entitle me to a copy of the PDF? Thanks.

Dominique C May 18, 2014 7:50 am UTC

PUBLISHER

Well, sorry, but no. I tried to set a reasonable price (especially when you consider that it is a 430 pages book, in small font and fully illustrated) for both the PDF found here, and the printed book (available on Lulu or Amazon). Many huge rulebooks in PDF are sold at 15 to 20 $. I think that 7.50 $ is more than reasonable; and likewise for the softcover at 25.50 $ (with discount) on Amazon. Hence, I won't make bundle of print + pdf, especially as they are sold by different channels.

Now it's true that I gave a few complimentary copies to people who had bought the first edition, and had previously told about the game in forums. I wanted to apologize for the many typos and errors found in the first edition (that are now corrected in the present, 2.1 edition), so gave them a free PDF; and I wanted to thank those who made the game known on forums (who incidentally were often those who had bought the version 1).

But now, the PDF and printed books are not sold in bundles.

Are the pictures in the paid pdf clear? The ones without the index, while you can see them, are blurred.

Yes this PDF (at approximately 43 mb) has clear images in addition to full index and table of content.

Imagen escaneada

Estos productos se crearon escaneando una edición original impresa. La mayoría de los libros más antiguos están en este formato de imagen escaneada, ya sea porque nunca tuvieron un archivo original de diseño digital o porque el editor ya no lo tiene disponible.

Para crear las ediciones de descarga en PDF, cada página se ha procesado con un software de reconocimiento óptico de caracteres (OCR) para tratar de descifrar el texto impreso. El resultado se coloca de forma invisible debajo de la imagen de cada página escaneada para permitir búsquedas de texto. Sin embargo, es muy probable que los textos de libros que estén impresos sobre un fondo gráfico o en fuentes escritas a mano no sean reconocidos por el software OCR y, por tanto, no formen parte de los resultados de las búsquedas. Además, algunos libros más grandes pueden ser reorganizados para que se adapten al sistema y puede que no tengan ese fondo que permite búsquedas.

Para los libros impresos, hemos realizado escaneos de alta resolución de una copia física original del libro. Esencialmente, hemos remasterizado digitalmente el libro. Por desgracia, la calidad resultante en tales libros no es tan alta. Es el problema que tiene hacer una copia de una copia. El texto se puede leer, pero las ilustraciones empiezan a verse oscuras, pixeladas o carentes de tonos de gris. Las fotos pueden desarrollar patrones moiré. Especificamos claramente qué títulos impresos provienen de imágenes escaneadas de libros, para que puedas realizar una decisión de compra informada acerca de la calidad de lo que vas a recibir.

Formato original electrónico

Estos ebooks fueron creados a partir de los archivos originales de diseño digital y, por tanto, se pueden realizar búsquedas en todo su texto. Además, el tamaño de archivo tiende a ser más pequeño que el de los libros de imágenes escaneadas. LA mayoría de los libros más nuevos están en este formato. Tanto las versiones para descarga como para impresión de estos libros deberían tener una gran calidad.
