Mazes RPG | Review and Page-Through

Even though I have a couple of quibbles with elements of the design philosophy, Mazes is a fantastic rules light fantasy roleplaying game for players of all ages. The Polymorph system is elegantly simple and super easy to understand/memorize and you'd be hard pressed to find a better introduction to the OSR for gamers who don't need a lot of crunch in their RPGs. The lack of dedicated ways to improve the player characters over a long campaign as well truly unique and magical treasure will come as a shock to many RPG veterans out there; I'd personally homebrew some rules to cover those areas. I would have also liked to have seen the booklets come in a small box and it's rather silly 9th Level is charging $15.00 for one. I really love Mazes though and, even if you don't run the system exactly as written, there's loads for you to crib to incorporate into your preferred OSR RPG of choice.
