[QUOTE="Schmoe, post: 7804182, member: 913"] Cool! I don't really know what the format is supposed to be for a "let's read thread", but I'll do my best :) Part 1 - The box contents [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/50045/The-City-of-Brass[/URL] The DriveThruRPG link is to PDF and POD, but I have the original boxed set, so this review is about the original boxed set. I can't really comment on the quality of PDFs and POD results. This is a boxed set published by Necromancer Games for the d20 system during the time of D&D 3.5. The box is made of solid stock and has an evocative picture on the front of an efreet towering over the City of Brass. The box is jammed literally to the brim with three books and a map folio. There is no empty space in the box, which gives a prelude to just how much content the set contains. The production values are pretty good. However, in comparison to the content, I find the content to be outstanding, and the production values to be not quite outstanding. For example, there are no full-color fold-outs or other handouts, which are often included in box sets. But on the other hand the map folio is packed with literally dozens of well-done maps. The quality of the materials isn't going to knock your socks off, but it's definitely good enough to be useful. The books are soft-bound with glossy covers, although they each have the same image as the front of the box. The interiors of the books are black and white, with some very nice illustrations scattered about. The map folio is likewise in B&W (actually more of a bronze than black) and has dozens of maps, starting with a map of the Plane of Molten Skies and then moving on to the dozens of different maps of the main attraction, the City of Brass. The cartography is generally really well done, although the maps are on the smaller side. The books are broken down as follows: Book 1 - The City of Brass (128 pages) Book 2 - 1001 Efreeti Nights (112 pages) Book 3 - Appendices (188 pages) Next up - Book 1 [/QUOTE]
