Book Reviews of Northern Crown: Gazetteer
Book Review: Great supplement
Summary: 4 Stars
I had some concerns with the main Northern Crown book, but this book alleviated much of it. This book is very much the DM's guide to the setting. I liked how it described the possible adventures, environments, and nations of the setting. The monsters, treasure, magic items, inventions, and NPCs are also well done. The only problem with these things is maybe trying to do too much.
Of particular interest is the Gazetteer chapetr of the book. I liked how it described all the locales of the setting, and how they modified all the real-life settings to a fantasy setting. My only problem is the maps. They tried to make the maps look old and crinkled, but they only succeeded in making the maps undecipherable. The area of the Five Nations Confederacy looks more like a lake than Lake Ontario. Is there supposed to be an ocean on the eastern portions of the map; it's hard to tell.
Besides the issues with the maps, the reason I'm only giving this a 4 is that the bibliography needed descriptions, the Cimmarons need to be less dependent on the user also having Nyambe, and the book needed more pages to do all it tried to do. A very good book, but needed just a bit more.
