Mythic Fantasy Review — Xena for Labyrinth Lord (Advanced)?

Even before I started playing D&D in '78, I was very interested in mythology thanks to the D’Aulaires Book of Greek Myths. While D&D had some Greek monsters and such, it was primarily more based on Tolkien and more Northern European fantasy. Mythic Fantasy is a short rules supplement ($2.99 and 30 pages) for Labyrinth Lord (mostly the Advanced Edition) that provides Greco-Roman rules for characters and such. Somewhat ironically, written by someone with a Tolkien-esque nom de plume, Thredith Undomiel.

Three new races are introduced, the centaur, the satyr, and the nymph, though the latter has five subraces. These are not presented in race as class for as in regular Labyrinth Lord, but as 1e style races with ability modifiers and limits, special abilities, eligible classes, and level limits. They seem fairly solid as races, with centaurs having the most additional rules to account for their horse body.  Nymphs seem perhaps too good, they don't seem to have any penalties, just bonuses, with high level limits as well.

Advanced Labyrinth Lord is finally on Kickstarter

He's been thinking about it for years, but too busy with his Pacesetter stuff and monkey-RPG. But he finally went with it

After a day, it's funded.

Unlike the AEC companion, which was an add on to the basic Labyinrth Lord rules (mimicking the Basic and Expert set) that provided 1e AD&D options like AD&D classes and races not as classes, this will be one simple coherent product for $30 in hardcover.  

Correction (thanks to James Mishler for pointing this out), it's $30 plus the cost of printing and shipping from DTRPG. So probably closer to $50 (figure 15 for printing and another $5 for shipping, which might still be lowballing) and maybe a better deal to just buy the 1e books on ebay.

The Kickstarter is also offering a hardback version of Realms of Crawling Chaos, his book on Lovecraftian D&D (which is for both regular and advanced LL). I reviewed it ages ago and am too tired from work to link to it, but it's solid, though not spectacular. Probably wouldn't pay the $25 for it, and again, it's plus probably another $10-15 buch, so probably $40 or so.

I participated in one of his previous Kickstarters (for Starships & Spacemen 2e) and it went well. When I couldn't use the DTRPG link (because back then it didn't work with my crappy ISP, the book marking would go in an endless loop), he emailed me a copy. And the print version was nice (though at $40 and 88 pages, a little pricey, this is much better deal all around)
