The booklet gives full descriptions and locations for villages, castles, islands, ruins, relics, and monsters found on the maps.[4][1]

Publication history

Fantastic Wilderlands Beyonde was written by Mark Holmer and Bob Bledsaw, and was published by Judges Guild in 1979 as a 32-page book, and four large maps.[2]

Reception

Kurt Butterfield reviewed Fantastic Wilderlands Beyonde in The Space Gamer No. 33.[4] Butterfield commented that "The graphics on the map are beautiful and highly detailed. Many of the encounter areas, ruins, and treasures are quite interesting and imaginative. The basic description of each village is very helpful and saves the judge a lot of preparation time."[4] He continues: "The main problem ancountered in the maps is that the hex numbers are difficult to read at times. There are quite a few typos in the booklet and several examples of too much treasure given away for little or no risk."[4] Butterfield concluded his review by saying, "The judge will have to add a large amount of detail and make a few changes to make the wilderness more interesting. He is given too little detail for too much money."[4]
