Field Guide to Encounters is a science-fantasy system with Dungeons & Dragons-like character classes and skill levels.[1] The game includes 34 occupations, rules for mutations, lycanthropy, psionics, "manitou combat," and character godhood, plus over 600 monsters.[1]

[edit]

Field Guide to Encounters was designed by Dragon's Byte, and published by Judges Guild in 1982 as a 112-page book and a 96-page book.[1]

Reception

[edit]

J. David George reviewed Field Guide to Encounters in The Space Gamer No. 55.[2] George commented that "Experienced gamers should avoid this product. Intermediate gamers should avoid this product. Novice gamers should avoid this product. Paper recyclers should look into Field Guide very seriously."[2]

Lawrence Schick called the game "Dumb" and commented: "Inexplicably, one group of monsters are giant animated breakfast foods: friend eggs, bowls of oatmeal, toast, burnt toast (higher armor class than regular toast), etc. You figure it out."[1]
