I am desperate to play this game . . .
but even if I can't cajole my group into trying it, the rules are well worth reading in their own right. Naturally, no one else is Jack Vance. Yet Robin Laws and his coauthors have captured a great portion of the Vancian rhythms and conceits that make the Dying Earth ...

Surprisingly good!

Simple yet more thanI expected
I have used this in 3 campaigns since I have bought this product. This is versatile and yet completely useful. Seven strongholds has enough semi ready to use pieces that you could place a strong hold into a game with maybe 15 or 20 minutes of prep time from most DM's. ...

Very useful for beginners
I'm not going to go into this review too much; understand that my depth of dungeon mastering goes above and beyond the norm and I can get very wordy with my critiques. The DMG 2 (Dungeon Masters Guide 2) is AMAZING and should've been the first installment instead of ...

Robin Laws
Games Workshop
, 2005
A set of words spread over a series of pages
I read a lot of these books because I play the game, but I'm also an avid reader of all kinds of books. I don't expect the writer to be Tolstoy, it's fantasy for godssake. I read the first book "Sacred Flesh" and it was a fair enough story to GM an exciting ...

REALLY COOL FACTS
