Which is exactly what Toolbox and UT are as well, fwiw. 'Ideas-inspirers' is as neat a description of both as one could hope for, come to think of it.
I've yet to see a
comprehensive resource of any kind for any RPG, personally.
Exactly. Like I thought I said in my early posts, if I had not already bought, and extensively used, Toolbox and Ultimate Toolbox, I would likely think Dungeon Alphabet is pretty cool. Also, for the record, whatever that is, and wherever it is kept, I do own and have read Knockspell #1 and #2, but not #3.
So all I am saying, and have pointed out, is that if you are like me and have seen and experienced the awesomeness of Ultimate Toolbox/Toolbox, and similar other works, your not going to be impressed by this book. Simply put Ultimate Toolbox and Toolbox has the same kind of content, but UT in particular has such tables/inspiration x300! UT has over 1,000 such tables! Not just 1 for each letter of the Alphabet (or for those who like to be technical, 3 for Magic, and other multiple tables for a couple of other letters, like Weird), plus a whole bunch of other tables they posted for fun here on ENWorld and over on the Paizo boards.
So if DA is going to be your first such book, there is a good chance you will like it. Heck, I like it for the art! If you have and use Ultimate Toolbox, Toolbox, and/or the other table laden books I have mentioned, your going to likely be disappointed since this is not done on anywhere the same depth as the others.
So for the very limited scope in which DA is done, its fairly good. Its just I know what really good books are out there, and I already have and use them, so this book is a big disappointment for me. Like I said, in my very first post, I think, if you already have either Toolbox book, etc... I would guess your probably going to be similarly disappointed with this book.
