## Reception

Lawrence Schick comments: "WA&A is beyond doubt the nicest RPG ever published. The three books attempt to describe everything on Earth from a staggeringly naive worldview. The rulebooks consist of a multitude of very general tables that list everything the author could think of. The descriptions that accompany the tables are so ingenuous, they're just priceless. Then there's the poem, "World Action and Adventure": 20 verses, each describing a different aspect of adventure. An excerpt: 'Pyramids are being built/the Pharaoh has a suppressed guilt/so many slaves they thirst and die/to build these things that touch the sky" ... it just goes on and on."
