Fear! Fire! Foes! proves itself a worthy supplement to the Pit & Perils in the way it builds upon the basic rules and offers new options to plug into you game if desirable.
Maintaining the elegant simplicity and charm of an old school rpg while introducing extra content is a careful balancing act. What I really like about F!F!F! is that the addition of new class rules, new spells, more flavour-some monsters, interesting magic items etc. doesn't introduce a bloat of fiddly subsystems but instead feels like an organic expansion of the basics, fleshing them out as the referee and players require.
