[QUOTE="amethal, post: 4750118, member: 22784"] City System is a bit disappointing in a PDF. I'd love to have it in paper form, as there's lots of maps. Islands of Terror is a standard Ravenloft gazeteer. I'm kind of biased against it, because when I read it I was already familiar with its contents from other Ravenloft products. (The perils of reading things in reverse order!) Lost Ships is fine. I quite like Sull and Crossbows. Its simple and straightforward, and ideal as an early supplement for a new product line. Obviously, its no use if you don't have or play Spelljammer. Space Lairs, however, struck me as pretty unimaginative. Get it only if you are a Spelljammer completist (which I am). Dwarven Kingdoms of Krynn had nice maps (unless I am getting it confused with something else) but was otherwise not very memorable. Nightmare Lands was plain weird. I suppose you can use it if Ravenloft is getting a bit stale (!) I hate Van Richten's guides, but I'm not familiar with the Vistani one. In general, the fluff is completely divorced from the game mechanics, half of it is pointless story telling anyway, and where there are mechanics the 3rd edition ones are normally better. I am a big fan of the Children of the Night series, which covers much the same ground only are much more useful. I don't have Al-Qadim Reunion; I imagine it is on a par with the other AQ stuff. Great fluff, and adventures which seem more appropriate to a White Wolf product than a TSR one. Birthright Campaign Setting. Buy it. If by some bizarre quirk of fate you don't like it, I'll take it off your hands at cost plus postage to the UK. Bastion of Faith - I don't have it, but I've heard good things about it. [/QUOTE]
