Welcome to the realms of Fantasia, brave adventurer! You are wise, more than most, for while other adventurers wander the realms aimlessly, going from town to town in search of gold, you have in your pack a tome of invaluable lore, a guidebook to all lands, roads and realms of this fantastic world. Within these pages you will find everything from detailed statistics for the great cities of the lands to the smallest hamlets, from the legends of yore to the customs and cultures of the various peoples who inhabit this mysterious world. Truly explore the realms at last with this complete and comprehensive sourcebook.
I normally purchase my pdf's from www.rpgnow.com or www.drivethrurpg.com (both are the same I know). I was on Paizo looking for a basic D&D module pdf and saw the Fantasia product line. I double checked to see if this product was on RPGNow or DriveThru and it wasn't. That should have been my first clue but I went ahead and ordered the three core books and a couple adventures.
I'll be the first to admit, I'm a total impulse buyer and I love fantasy heartbreakers (see the following link for a definition http://www.indie-rpgs.com/articles/9/ ).
I can tell a huge amount of work has gone into this product. I'm sorry to say a huge amount of bad work.
The writing is hard to understand for the majority of the book, the layout is awful - Times New Roman 11 font for the body and Dark Crystal (yes the 80's muppets movie) font for the chapter headings, a few of the names of inns, locales, etc are direct copies of existing fictional places, ex. The Pool of Radiance and The Rainbow Dragon Inn.
The product is obviously a labor of love but I'd return it if it wasn't a PDF.
