Today, our friendly neighborhood Endzeitgeist reviewed Everyman Gaming's biggest book ever, the Dynastic Races Compendium! This was our big Kickstarter project last year, and we were thrilled to have Endzeitgeist review it. Want a snippet? Check it out below!
Alexander Augunas’ Dynastic Races Compendium ranks as one of the best racial books I have read for any iteration of a d20-based game. While not every little component herein is pitch-perfect, the holistic vision exhibited herein has managed to take 4 races I did not like in their original iteration and made me really cherish them – never before have Kitsune, Samsarans, Wayang or Nagaji felt so alive, so organic, so worthwhile. Fans of these races will consider this a no-brainer anyway, but frankly, this is worth getting if you’re like me and hated crunch-only races, if you always wanted races to make sense. The depth of the cultures herein make them all practically demand being included in your game – their unique outlooks and worldviews, their cultures and traditions practically jump from the page. The prose is captivating and, even better, the crunch supports the complex and rich cultures presented within this book. In case you haven’t noticed: This should be considered to be a “This is how it’s done” for racial books; this attention to detail and realism, in lack of a better word, is what makes races work, what captures the imagination.

GReat job there, Alex, and thank you for the shout-out! I hope it'll make folks check out this gem!
I know that particularly samsarans and wayang blew me away and really changed my views on them.
A gem of a book!

End's review is great! I was already planning on getting this, but now it seems I'll have to hurry it up. Have to take a short trip first but after that it'll give me something to read while my jaw is healing from the impending dental surgery.
