It's been my go-to fantasy RPG for going on six years (and was really my gateway into classless, level-less games), but Magic World is one of the best, ugliest RPGs I've ever owned or played. Of course the system itself is pretty acclaimed (The old Stormbringer/Elric! rules), but this is an ugly duckling if you ever saw one. The art is pretty all over the place, there are tons of typos and errata (especially in the printed version) and the layout is ugly as sin. But it has everything I ever needed to finally grok the toolkit approach I saw in books like Mythras and the BRP "Big Gold Book."
My tastes have expanded to wanting to finally run Mythras, but without Magic World I'm not sure I would have grokked what I was supposed to be doing with it.
