Reception Denys Backriges reviewed ''Magitech'' in '' White Wolf'' #41 (March, 1994), rating it a 4 out of 5 and stated that "the book is dense at 128 pages and complete enough to keep you plotting for a long time to come. And it had better be complete. TSR doesn't plan to release supplements for any of their Universe Books unless hose universes become extremely popular.

Amazing Engine
''Amazing Engine'' was a series of tabletop role-playing game books that was published by TSR, Inc. from 1993 until 1994.

TSR, Inc. was an American game publishing company, best known as the original publisher of ''Dungeons & Dragons'' (''D&D''). Its earliest incarnation, Tactical Studies Rules, was founded in October 1973 by Gary Gygax and Don Kaye.
