This review is from: Five Shires (Dungeons & Dragons Gazetteer GAZ8) (Paperback)

An exceedingly rare treasure, Ed Greenwood's magnificent entry in the award-winning Gazetteer series creates a vivid, intriguing cultural background for the halflings of D&D, totally distancing them from the Hobbits of Tolkien's works. No small feat! (Ahem) Nearly a hundred pages of rules and background are given here, covering everything from halfling marriages to warfare to trade to religious beliefs, with a new character class, new magic, new treasures, and the secret of the Black Flame! Highest recommendation - a resource that will encourage the play of halfling heroes in any campaign! I hope that's a good thing...
