Message: <blockquote data-quote="Clint" data-source="post: 1270089" data-attributes="member: 2283">I know that this thread is about campaign settings, but I'd like to recommend a campaign setting booster: The Book of the Righteous, written by Aaron Loeb and published by Green Ronin.Pros: At first glance, it's a book of gods and their religions, not a setting. But as you read the descriptions of the religions and the prestige classes, a picture of the world becomes clear. This world is steeped in mythology and faith and conflict, who works with who and whatever else. A planar cosmology. A sensible system of afterlife, and a history of the universe. Detailed religions of 23 churches, each with multiple orders (and not all are clerics and holy warriors). If you want a core-D&D-style world with a plausible and interesting fantasy pantheon at its core, you can't do better. IMO, it's the best d20 book around.Cons: Honestly, this book alone isn't enough to be a campaign setting. It's the core of a world, but not the whole package. There are no NPCs detailed and no nations or cities are clearly described, just alluded to. And if you're looking for supplements, there won't be any, AFAIK. Finally, it's takes more work, because to add this to another setting takes elbow grease in removing the existing religions and replacing them with this one.But, the reason that I posted here was because this book is a setting booster. It will take whatever physical setting you choose and make many parts of it make sense. If you take this book and a small campaign setting, like one of the great City sourcebooks mentioned earlier in the thread, or a mega-adventure where the setting is sufficiently but sparsely detailed, you've got everything you need to run. I'm saying this because this is what my group has been playing in (Monte Cook's Banewarrens comes with a City setting, Ptolus), and we love what the Book of the Righteous brings to the table. We consider it half the setting.Apologies if this is considered off-topic.</blockquote>
