Gary Gygax’s Nation Builder Now Available

LITTLE ROCK, AR – December 14, 2005 – Troll Lord Games announced today that Gary Gygax’s Nation Builder is available for immediate shipping. Nation Builder marks the sixth installment in the Gygaxian Fantasy World series of fantasy world and dungeon design books written or edited by Gary Gygax.

Laboriously researched and written by Michael Varhola Nation Builder fleshes out themes first presented in World Builder (GFW II, Gygax & Cross) and Living Fantasy (GFW III, Gygax), but with its primary focus on the political, social and economic entities that comprise states in both modern realistic and fantastic settings. Each subject is supported with an ongoing series of detailed examples and miniature case studies, making Nation Builder both a guide to creating campaign settings and a ready-made sourcebook and sample milieu for writers, designers and the like.

Gary Gygax’s Nation Builder is fully compatible with any Role Playing Games but does contain content specific to the d20 and Lejendary Adventure RPGs. Nation Builder is 140 pages, hardcover, with an SMRP of $27.95.

Nation Builder is available with a slip sleeve large enough to hold all six existing volumes in the series. The sleeve is also sold separately. Contact your local retailer, distributor or supply outlet for more details.

And be sure to check out the other books in the series Gary Gygax’s Canting Crew, Gary Gygax’s World Builder, Gary Gygax’s Living Fantasy, Gary Gygax’s Insidiae and Gary Gygax Extraordinary Book of Names.

It looks interesting. Does this take a Birthright-like stance of building realms as seperate entities or is it a book on building designing "realistic" nations without any kind of statblock?

[cleaverthepit]

Its more along the lines of building a realistic setting with multipleinteracting parts from government types, religion, folklore, culture etc. It does not present the stat block approach. I think the latter manner is well developed in other sources and did not need to be reiterated.

Both styles have a place on my game shelf but I do like to know before I crack open the covers.
