[QUOTE="Treebore, post: 5088923, member: 10177"] After reading several blogs talking about how good this is I decided to finally get it. Besides, the price was really good! Let me preface my opinion by saying that I have bought Toolbox, Ultimate Toolbox, Mother of All Encounter Tables, Mother of All Treasure Tables, and probably other books of Tables I cannot recall right now, and that is what I am basing my opinion of this book on, my experiences and expectations based on those previous purchases. Taking all of that into account, I like the art. There is a lot, I mean a lot, of good old school style B/W artwork all throughout. The layout is nice and clear, and the text is in nice big print so that I did not need my glasses to read most of it. As for the tables. Well, in comparison to the aforementioned products, they are extremely limited, unimaginative, short, very limited use. I was totally disappointed. I absolutely do not get the great reviews I read on several blogs, etc... I can only presume they did not buy the products I have previously mentioned, so their bars were set comparatively very low to mine. So if you are like me, and have bought the books I have mentioned, don't be surprised if your likewise disappointed. If you have not bought the products I mentioned, you will likely find this book worth getting. So get this book first! Then buy the other products I mentioned to find out what extensive, highly imaginative, and highly useful tables are like. Especially Ultimate Toolbox. Definitely the most disappointing product I have bought done by Goodman Games in the last few years. I do think it has to do with my regular use of Ultimate Toolbox. So if you have not bought, and regularly used UT, you will probably like this book much better than I do. However all I can see is how much they did not do. :( [/QUOTE]
