A Word to the Wise The WitchCraft RPG is, first and foremost, a work of fiction meant to entertain. entertain. A number of facts have been mixed with a liberal dose of fantasy in the pages of this WitchCraft supplement, and people who seek information, spiritual guidance, or an excuse to do stupid things should look elsewhere. The magicians in this game are as unrealistic as the wizards in Tolkien's tales; none of the secret organizations and conspiracies in this book are meant to be exact replicas of real world groups. Having said that, I would like to point out a few real facts. The Rosicrucians was (and may still be) a real world movement, and was very influencial in Europe for a time.

Finally, anybody who has problems distinguishing fantasy from reality, or who thinks this or any other game depicts actual occult practices should stay away from this and similar books. They should also stay away from television, books of all kind, and most forms of mass media; in fact, they should probably not leave their homes. Any off-beat soft drink commercial may prompt them to jump off a tall building. Parents of minor children should, of course, exercise their judgment as to whether this and other roleplaying games are appropriate for their children. Everyone else, I hope you enjoy this supplement to the WitchCraft RPG.
