More like "World Filler" than Builder

Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2013

Verified Purchase

While this is not by any means a bad book, let's be clear what it's NOT. This is NOT a book that will help you design your own planet and its continents, seas and weather patterns like Richard Baker's excellent World Builder's Guidebook for AD&D 2nd Edition. If you want to create a planet from scratch, THAT is the book you need! THIS book provides a lot of good material with which to fill your campaign world, but it is definitely not a "how-to" book for designing campaign settings. Instead you get a great deal of material on arms and armor (nice art and d20 compatible statistics for each piece), stones, gems, flowers, herbs, metals and trees (very complete coverage on these; too much, some might say.) There are also some unique charts giving unusual info such as:
- the tensile strength of various metals
- the melting points of metals
- materials resistance to crushing
- the weight of various things (i.e. bail of hay, etc.)
- rope strengths
- land productivity
- cost of construction for buildings
- horses
- water spring productivity
- ice strength
- ship cargo tonnage weights
- measurements, weights and volume of various things

So you do get quite a big of potentially useful material... just not what you might think going by the book's title. If these things interest you, by all means get it. If, on the other hand, you just want to design your own campaign setting/world, get a copy of World Builder's Guidebook instead.

Good old Gary Gygax

Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2007

Verified Purchase

I bought this product mostly because I have a soft spot for anything written by Gary Gygax, and secondly, because what I read about the product sounded like something that might be of interest. I have been playing role-playing games for about 20 years, and started out with Dungeons and Dragons, for most of those years I have been a GM, and have been running my campaigns in a world of my own devising. This book has loads of useful input for that kind of setting, listing all kinds of stuff that you might find a use for in fleshing out your own world. If you need something to develop your world-setting, this one is highly recommended, now go roll on that table!.

I like this book, but there are typos and bad information in it. It could have used an editor's touch or a new version with corrections.

A great book of lists!

Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2003

I first learned of this book when passing by Monte Cook's website, the author of the Players Handbook for 3rd Edition D&D. He had written, "I've heard some people put down this product because it's not a guide to help you build a campaign, but instead a book of lists. Well, as it turns out, I think a book of lists is pretty cool. I used to love the appendices in the back of the 1st Edition DMG that were just lists of things, and that's basically what this book from Troll Lord Games is. They make for great idea generators when you're stuck as a DM or as a writer."
So, I picked up a copy. The layout could be improved no doubt, and there were some obvious typos, but there is still an enormous amount of generic information useful to a fantasy writer or Dungeon Master. I would have to spend hours digging around a library or Google to find this sort of material.
Not perfect, and not what the title might imply, but good.

great content

Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2003

The book is not titled correctly. This is a book of lists, and a great one at that! This book is great for writers to break through writer's block and it is good for dungeon masters and world builders to help them add detail and depth to their worlds. Unless you must have d20 or LA stats for everything, you will not be disappointed by this book. This book is not very useful for players, but is very useful for DMs and writers.

A book of lists

Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2006

There are two types of people in the world, those who are inspired by random lists of words, and those who aren't. If the tensile strength of rope inspires you to create a world, then by all means, go for it. If, however, you require more motivation, then don't buy this book. It's nice if you are stuck and using something like Tablesmith, but other than that, the book is fairly useless.
