Episode 68: The Spellcaster’s Bible 1979

About this episode

The episode discusses the Spellcaster’s Bible, a supplement for a 1979 Fantasy RPG, featuring an extensive range of spells.

Get ready for spells to make opponents (and DMs) cringe with fear! This supplement for a popular unnamed Fantasy RPG of 1979 says ‘Hold my beer!’ to only 9 levels of Magic User spells. No, we have 15 levels! Come for the Flaming Black (Fill in the Blank) spells, stay for the exploding eyeballs! No PC Magic-Users were harmed in the making of this podcast, because it was all Thump damage!   Links mentioned in this show: Spellcaster’s Bible on Scribd https://www.scribd.com/document/503055227/The-Spellcasters-Bible-1979 Don’t forget to drop us an email at saveforhalfpodcast(at)gmail.com to give your opinions of the show!
