With the simple systems provided, in partnership with the imagination, the game allows you to create worlds both unique and challenging. It is the ultimate test for the tested FRP gamer, while its systems are simple enough for the total novice to understand and enjoy.
With Powers & Perils you will create highly detailed Characters that are dynamic in every way. As you succeed, and survive, your Character will increase in ability until, at the highest levels of development, he is truly a power in himself.
Going beyond the finely detailed Character Book, you will discover a game system that simply and logically details all facets of combat, encounter and magic without bearing you down in waves of picayune detail. The general systems are further aided by simple generation tables that allow you to expand on this system as you desire, creating spells and creatures unique to your campaign. With this system, you are never limited to a campaign waged with assembly line artifacts against one-dimensional enemies.
Powers & Perils provides finely detailed creatures, magical artifacts of all descriptions and magics, both natural and learned, beyond the standard parameters of a fantasy game.
As sure as the Sun rises, Powers & Perils will provide you with unique, challenging and constantly dynamic adventure. In partnership with your Referee, Powers & Perils will lead you on a journey into the infinite and allow you to grasp the intense variability possible in a truly fantastic world.

This review is from: Powers & Perils [BOX SET] (Game)
There have been many games that I've seen come and go. Fantasy games. Science Fiction games. You name it, someone's put it out. P&P is one of the best games out there, above the multitudes of games that you see on the market today (most of which, sigh, combine themselves with the D20 system instead of striking out at new territories). If you want a rich, detailed, and well-developed setting and rule work, then you need to pick this game up now. It is hard to find. It is an old game. But it is worth every penny to buy it. I've worn out several of my box sets myself due to heavy use of the rulebooks (which, sadly, are paper bound ... which is the only negative thing about this game). The rules are modular, you can put in or take out what you want, you the GM and you the players are in control. Most of the time, you'll end up using D100 style rolls. The magic system is grandiose and spectacular. And if you can find it, the Perilous Lands setting is one of the wealthiest settings alive. Get this game and have a blast. Flush the D20 systems down the toilet.
