Reviews

[David · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you're looking for a possible adventure involving a spellbook, try this book. It details dozens of spellbooks and the history behind them, providing many adventure hooks that can be easily spun into an existing adventure. Lots of new spells and a smattering of new items and creatures. If nothing else fits your game, it's still a good read.
