[QUOTE="Silveras, post: 1272312, member: 6271"] [b]A few odds 'n' ends on S&D[/b] Here are a few odds & ends type of comments on S&D: Artwork: Good, and generally reflective of the subject at hand. The drawings of the buildings and their modular components are good, and can serve as models for creating a tile-based mapper or other electronic aid geared toward helping the aspiring builder. New Prestige Classes: There are none (good news for those who think there are too many). New Spells: Ditto New Magic Items: Uh, ditto. Which means that all of the space in the book is spent on providing rules systems in the relevant areas. There are [B]very few[/B] (too few, IMHO) tables. Of the tables that are present, I don't think any of them repeat information in the text; it is all new information that lends itself to tabular presentation. That being said, a checklist of "monthly update steps" or the like would have been helpful. Some of the details are scattered, and it will be easy for people to miss steps like "loss of stored food to vermin or spoilage" or "subtract what the people eat before counting the produced food for taxes". Also, a number of places leave "details to the DM's discretion". That is less useful for a newbie than for an experienced DM. Fledgling DMs would probably appreciate a little more guidance than they will find here. [/QUOTE]
