Well done!

5/5

Provides a lot of pawns you need, and especially art for things that would be very hard to find otherwise.

So many gross, weird and difficult to describe (while keeping your sanity, of course) creatures. I can't imagine running the rest of the AP without this... Again, without going mad.

As a PDF maybe

2/5

I purchased the hardback version of this book through subscription. I'm reviewing the contents of the PDF which I assume are identical.

The book's title, premise and marketing are confusing. This appears to be a book for players full of options for players, but it goes out of its way to paint some very interesting pictures of the aftermaths of some adventure paths. Many of them are old, so that's an excuse that could be used - but even in old APs my players intentionally try not to expose themselves to deep knowledge of the AP because they prefer to... Play it!

I'm not sure how often this book will get used.

Much of the book's contents are reprints. This isn't something I mind too much, as I enjoy having these things collected into one space anyway. Quite a lot of the reprinted material has been tweaked or adjusted. Still, it feels weird to pay for stuff that, if you have the previous source material, you already bought.

The campaign setting material is compelling as usual, the art is fun.

Of all the hardcover RPG line books available, this one would rank at the very bottom or last of the books to get. If you have $40 to spend on a hardcover, get anything else. The PDF value is pretty astonishing for $10, so that earns it a second star.
