This review is from: The Jungles of Chult (Paperback)

The Jungles of Chult is an excellent Forgotten Realms accessory/adventure, as good as Old Empires, Dreams of Red Wizards, Dwarves Deep and Moonsea! It sheds light on the exotic southern land of Chult and its inhabitants. Their distinct culture, history, and civilization will win you over for sure!
Ranging from background history, to city and social descriptions, to important people and characters, to the respective gods and pantheons, to adventure hooks and encounter tables, to magical items and artifacts, to new spells and monsters, this accessory has it all and more.
For other FR references/adventures, I STRONGLY recommend: the Old Empires accessory on Chessenta, Mulhorand, and Unther, Dreams of Red Wizards on Thay, Dwarves Deep, Draconomicon, the Moonsea accessory, the Ruins of Myth Drannor Box Set, and the Ruins of Zhentil Keep Box Set (they are Second Edition AD&D, out of print and it will take a bit of searching, but it's well worth it). For updated editions of events in Chult, see the Third Edition Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting, which even though is quite expensive, is still very useful to all FR fans. Moreover, The Ring of Winter, being the only novel set in the Jungles of Chult is a "must."
In short, if you like tropical jungles, dinosaurs, exotic goblins, and would like a change of scenery to break the routine, try and get your hands on a copy of The Jungles of Chult. You will not regret it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Red Dragons Pale in Comparison to an Enraged Tyrannosaurus Rex, March 28, 2008

This review is from: The Jungles of Chult (Paperback)

Out of all of the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Adventures, the Jungles of Chult is one of my personal favorites. Imagine dropping your pc's into a remote land in Faerun. A jungle spreads for miles like a vast ocean of inestimable green. Add a fabled relic, rampaging dinosaurs, a lost city, and a group of fanatical cultists, and you have yourself a grand campaign.

The only complaint that I have against this module, is its lack of pictures. Surely Wizards could have found the time to insert more art in this adventure!

But other than that, this is a great product, one that every DM will enjoy.
