Book Reviews of Wizards Presents: Worlds and Monsters (D&D Supplement)
Book Review: It does what it says on the label
Summary: 4 Stars
Most of the negative reviews don't seem to be about the product itself, but rather what they wish Wizards of the Coast would have done instead.
Like the other 4th Edition preview book, Worlds & Monsters does exactly what it promises: It gives a snapshot of what's to come in the new edition of Dungeons & Dragons, but from the vantage point of September 2007. This time, instead of hearing about various classes and races, we get a glimpse into the assumed setting of the game world. In previous editions, there were these assumed settings as well, but rarely were explicitly articulated.
Even moreso than its predecessor, there's a lot of great pieces of art in this book, very evocative of mysterious lands and ominous vistas. The writing also paints a picture of a world where darkness threatens to swallow the remaining light and where heroes are all that prevents evil from triumphing. Like all the best game books, it makes me want to play and now.
This sort of book has a built-in shelf life, however, and if you don't want to pluck down the bucks on a book that will mostly be obsoleted in a matter of weeks, pass it by. If your budget has the room, however, it's a beautiful and evocative little preview.
