Publication history

In 1989, Task Force Games and Flying Buffalo published Lejentia Campaigns Book 1: Skully's Harbor as the first in a proposed series of supplements that would describe various areas of the world of Lejentia. The first volume, a 148-page book, was written by H.J. Bennett, with art by Steven S. Crompton, Dirk Deppey , and Patrick Gidaro. [1]

A second book, Lejentia Campaigns Book 2: Fort Bevits, was also published in 1989, but no further books in the series were published. Lejentia Stanza Adventure Pack 1, a book describing how creatures, characters and places from the three Lejentia graphical novels could be adapted for role-playing, was also published in 1989. [5]

The Lejentia game books were based on a 3-issue, independent Elves of Lejentia comic book series that was published in 1987-1989. The comic was also by created and drawn by H.J. Bennett and Steven S. Crompton.

Reception

Stewart Wieck reviewed the product in a 1990 issue of White Wolf . [2] He took issue with the graphics layout and stated that he "wasn't very impressed with the product. It seemed to be a new way of providing statistics for innumerable NPCs", but added that "it actually provides an interesting setting for adventure". [2] He rated it overall at 4 out of 5 possible points. [2]
