5.0 out of 5 stars Very Interesting!, June 12, 2000

This review is from: Campaign Option: Council of Wyrms Setting (AD&D Fantasy Roleplaying) (Hardcover)

This was my first AD&D book. I bought this book for the sole information on dragons, but lo-and-behold when I read it further, I got information I never expected.

If you're looking for the fifteen kinds of dragons located on the remote land of Io's Blood Island Chain and a good campaign option based on dragons and their kindred, this is your book. I found some things that could help me in my writings like the Great Wyrm info, the body lengths of the dragons, and the extended text on the the Metallic, Gem, and Chromatic dragons. This book explains everything you need to know about Io's dragons, from hoard treasure to proficiencies to Dragonic combat to dragon kits. It includes character sheets, marvelous illustrations, size charts and three adventures for the players.

The Council of Wyrms made me believe that AD&D wasn't just some game, and that I should look into it a little more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Forgotten Realms is nothing compared to this, December 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Campaign Option: Council of Wyrms Setting (AD&D Fantasy Roleplaying) (Hardcover)

I have been looking for an AD&D setting like this for a long time. I never really got Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance was too obscure, and Greyhawk hade no catchy hook. When I read this book, I knew it was what I sought. Not only does it give a flavorful and unique domain to use in campaigns, it presents an entirely new outlook with dragon characters. The material is precise and easy to understand so that even a novice Dungeon Master can get the hang of it quickly. Not even Planescape can challenge it.

This is a great way of playing. You can be the dragons you hear of all the time and you can do a lot of things no other race can. In this setting, I play a copper dragon and he is very cool. If you want a good book to expand your games... I suggest this book.
