I'm not great at writing reviews but I wish I was for this game. This book has a great set of rules which span multiple time periods. It is very complete and has rules for most things any GM would need. I have been looking for a game like this for a long time. Hopefully people take a look at the preview and get a glimpse of what this game has to offer. I wanted a fairly light set of rules with alot of options...that is what I got. I was running other rules light games and found they didn't have enough to them. My players wanted to pick out more types of weapons and more abilities for their characters. I wanted stats on vehicles and such. This book solved those problems.

The game is quite broad in the types of stories you can tell. That is one of the best parts in my opinion. It is a sandbox of rules to run the game the way you want. The character classes and character creation are my favourite parts. Perfect for what I wanted in my game. I purchased print copies in hardcover as well from another site. Very nice looking books. It ended my search for a system that was not too light and not too crunchy. It has a old school feel which drew me in.

Highly recommended if you are into the various time periods the game covers. I eagerly await other products coming out for G&V. Great job on it! It really is well done. For me personally it is five stars.

This is a great rpg. The rules are really easy to grasp and use. This is one of the rpg games that I have chosen to run with my family. It has the classic fantasy classes and is quick to make characters and run. There are optional rules which really add a great deal more to the system. I bought both books and printed them out. The second book really expands on this book and was worth it's cost. It also has the Pathfinder and Cleric classes.

This game deserves to succeed and I would love to see more supplements. Very happy finding this one. A hidden gem. I like the way the game is explained and that it does use 6 sided dice.

There is a full sized .pdf and a booklet sized .pdf for each. Love the small format too. This one hits just the right balance of rules for me. And you can add in more optional rules as you go.

Great for beginners. But experienced players who want a lighter rules approach would have a hoot with it too. I am very happy with my purchase. There are many rpgs similiar in design but this one stood out to me. The feel of the rules just felt right.

This was a great surprise. It is a steal for the price if you want a self contained Fantasy RPG to run all in one book. Very complete. I know I won't use all the rules in the book but like most Gms I will pick and choose what rules to use. Tons of content and you can see the amount of work the author put into this book. A self contained rulebook in a printer friendly format with Black and white artwork.

I love the character creation and the long list of races to choose from the most. That is where this book really shines. I am very happy with my purchase. Great system. I was looking for a fantasy system to run that had a good rules system and this one hit the sweet spot for me. Just enough crunchiness without over doing it.

Looking forward to any supplements to this RPG but you really don't need any more unless you want a setting. Personally I like to create my own and this book is perfect for that. Great job on this book. Great price. I will buy the next book for this...I know that already. Looking forward to it.

I like this game...alot. I purchased to play it with my family. I like the simple rules and way it is explained. Very well done. The presentation is not dark or dreary but vibrant illustrations. It's kinda nice to have a cheery feeling to a rpg. You play pre-made character types BUT the author on his site does supply a way of randomly generating your stat numbers. The way the character pages are setup is great. Easy to read and understand. The character abilities are quite nifty and there are some new ideas. For new players...very little setup. Pick a character and adventure. Some may not like that.

For what it is meant to be...it is quite good. If you want more control over your character then it may not be for you. A die hard gamer may not like not having tons of character creation options. It's perfect for my games with my family. Younger players in particular. I know I will end up making my own character types for the game. :D

I enjoy this game and wish I had developed this one myself. I'm rating it 5 based on my expectations and who I play it with. My young family. Others may disagree due to it's simplicity. Not enough options etc. The last thing I want to do is deter anyone from this game. Do your research and see if it is right for your type of gaming. For my purposes it is a very fun game.

I see an adventure is available for it and I will pick that up soon. Good job.

Love this game. I bought the core book and then came back for the extras. Great rule system. Simple but not too simple. I needed a lighter rules rpg to run with my friends and this fits that slot nicely.

This rpg deserves all the positive ratings it is getting. I like reading this on my iPad too. I plan on buying the other Basic Fantasy rpg they have made as well after seeing the high quality in this one. It is well worth the price they are asking and I am very happy with my purchase.

I can't wait to see what rpg they come up with next. Big fan after picking Covert Ops up. I will continue to by their products based on this one.
