Epic Fantasy by Mr. Jonathan Nolan is an all-in-one role-playing rulebook combining retroclone FASERIP and the open game content SRD from a well-known fantasy RPG. It features numerous classes, modular monster creation, and a heroic scale for epic adventures. The book includes day/night encounter charts, rules for barony ownership, weather, world generation, and more. Epic Fantasy allows easy conversion of other games, self-rating for immersion, and offers a wide array of more than the standard creature features. The adaptable FASERIP ability system allows players to embody any living being, and there's a conversion system for other OSR and d20 SRD games, over 450 pages of content, and both full-color and black/white sketched artwork by over 100 artists.

In his tabletop RPG game Epic Fantasy and the book that transports players easily into a rich and imaginative new collection of possibilities, author and creator Mr. Jonathan Nolan achieves the most important aspect of any RPG luring in future devotees: it is user-friendly. From a player standpoint, this is down to Nolan's effective streamlining of the work that balances its comprehensiveness. I tried really hard to find something to critique and, hand over heart, I can't fault any aspect. From a literary standpoint, the user-friendliness is the conversational nature of the text. It's not like reading a game insert, it's like a friend telling you what's up. Conversion assistance for dice is there but, otherwise, the game, the style, the settings, and the artwork are singular and unique. I'm excited to see where the universe takes it, and where a future Gamemaster takes me.

Epic Fantasy by Mr. Jonathan Nolan is a cooperative tabletop roleplaying game where players gather to create stories under the guidance of a Gamemaster, utilizing a 1d100 dice. The gaming world is filled with magic, missions, and conflicts with evil forces. The Gamemaster manages the plot and obstacles while allowing players to play individually, in groups, or via the Wesely-Arneson technique. Characters have one action per round, and time is measured in rounds. For a variety of activities, 1d100 dice are used, with 00 denoting critical success and 01 denoting critical failure. Characters have intensities and ranks, and Karma is a tool for development. Character alignment violations result in Karma loss. The game promotes dramatic storytelling, a straightforward main plot, the existence of a Dark Lord, world exploration, interpersonal interactions, conflict, and a concentration on ranks over riches, allowing players to construct their own inventive secondary universe.

I grew up playing the very traditional roleplay game Dungeons and Dragons with the old school books that we saved for months to buy. I have never personally played a different style, and, sadly, over time we stopped playing. I really like Epic Fantasy by Mr. Jonathan Nolan for a few reasons. The standout to me is the Karma value system, which is unique and keeps players from forcing their characters to do things that contradict who and what that character is and, in fact, penalizing for breaching those boundaries. Nolan's creation of the game in its entirety, as it is presented in this book, is a remarkable feat. It is mind-boggling how much detail went into its planning, but also how such a massive number of features could be so accessible. The reality is that if a game is not accessible, then none of this matters. Epic Fantasy is wonderfully accessible. Whether a player and their character find themselves on a salt flat, experiencing psychological impairment like going mad due to a siren, or having the Barony usurped, there is a guide for it all. There is also artwork, which is truly gorgeous. Very highly recommended.

Epic Fantasy: Complete Fantasy Role-Playing Game by Jonathan Nolan is another complete fantasy role-playing guide for those who wish to create their own game using FASERIPopedia. Similar to the book Camelot, Epic Fantasy is a guide to an epic fantasy game universe where the players can set their own rules, create their own characters, and have the satisfaction of doing more than just playing the game. Jonathan Nolan crafts the rules and gives full character sketches, gameplay, universe, relationships, fantasy creatures, and gods and even shares information about open game licenses users would need to create their own Epic Fantasy. He goes into full detail about each of the aspects of creating your game, plus the illustrations give direction to the reader’s imagination.

Author Jonathan Nolan is very passionate about RPGs, and it is apparent in his dedication to writing such detailed guides. The step-by-step guide is so easy to follow that someone like me was able to understand each and every aspect and feel inspired as well. Everything was structured perfectly; the tables made it easier for me to decide which aspects or characters I would enjoy more in my personal Epic Fantasy the most. I believe the execution of the world will be very easy, especially for those people who are used to the FASERIPopedia platform and understand RPG gameplay more intimately. The illustrations are the perfect addition to help players get a visual before they decide what they want in the game. I highly recommend this book to gamers and those who want to create their own Epic Fantasy using an open-game license.
