In Magic World, casting a spell is a skill much like picking a lock or swinging a sword - the spellcaster achieves success with a good skill roll. In most other RPGs to that time, the spellcaster cast a spell and success required the target to fail a saving throw. Initial characters can start as one of four professions (Warriors, Rogues, Sages and Sorcerers) and one of the standard Tolkienesque fantasy races, such as dwarfs, trolls, goblins, and elves. It contains game rules specific to this world such as the use of magic. The Magic World booklet, written by Steve Perrin and Gordon Monson, is a fantasy RPG similar to Dungeons & Dragons and RuneQuest. The Basic Role-Playing booklet was a summary of the game system devised by Greg Stafford and Lynn Willis in 1980.

a 4-page leaflet explaining how to join the games together, using a neutral crossroads called the "City of Wonder" that would allow characters to move between the three RPGs.The game came as a boxed set that contained: Characters from one RPG could be shifted to the other RPGs with minimal adjustments. It was the industry's first multi-RPG product that would work with the same set of rules. In 1982, Chaosium published Worlds of Wonder, a collection of three RPGs that all used BRP as their rules system. In 1980, in an effort to create a standardized rule system, Chaosium published a generic game system called Basic Role-Playing ( BRP). Characters from one game couldn't be exported to another game without a complete overhaul of abilities, skills, weapons and equipment.

The definitions are sourced from the famous and open-source WordNet database, so a huge thanks to the many contributors for creating such an awesome free resource. In case you didn't notice, you can click on words in the search results and you'll be presented with the definition of that word (if available). For those interested, I also developed Describing Words which helps you find adjectives and interesting descriptors for things (e.g. So this project, Reverse Dictionary, is meant to go hand-in-hand with Related Words to act as a word-finding and brainstorming toolset. That project is closer to a thesaurus in the sense that it returns synonyms for a word (or short phrase) query, but it also returns many broadly related words that aren't included in thesauri. I made this tool after working on Related Words which is a very similar tool, except it uses a bunch of algorithms and multiple databases to find similar words to a search query. So in a sense, this tool is a "search engine for words", or a sentence to word converter. It acts a lot like a thesaurus except that it allows you to search with a definition, rather than a single word. The engine has indexed several million definitions so far, and at this stage it's starting to give consistently good results (though it may return weird results sometimes). For example, if you type something like "longing for a time in the past", then the engine will return "nostalgia". It simply looks through tonnes of dictionary definitions and grabs the ones that most closely match your search query. The way Reverse Dictionary works is pretty simple.
