A collection of short descriptions of environments and inspirational ideas. It is, as someone wrote, a bit on the thin side. On the other hand it is useful for almost any fantasy RPG and probably partly for other genres or writers as well. The price is that you have to do the adaptions and a bunch of thinking yourself. Probably best used for inspiration beforehand, before the situations appear in their game.

This book was a bit on the thin side. There are some creative ideas in it, but it's not really what I'm looking for at the moment.
