A toolkit of ready-to-use fantasy settings

Duncan Rhodes gathers thirty original locations for fantasy roleplaying games, designed to be added to an existing world as standalone adventures or woven into a longer campaign. The locations are presented as adaptable material for popular fantasy rulesets, including Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder, so the book is not tied to a single game system. Full-color, full-page maps accompany the collection, giving Game Masters visual material to work from. The title also promises guidance on designing extraordinary locations, while the supplied description emphasizes the collection’s role as practical inspiration for building game settings.
