Dungeons & Dragons Worlds & Realms: Adventures from Greyhawk to Faerûn and Beyond Hardcover – 29 Oct. 2024

A must for D&D lovers

Nicely made nostalgia trip through DnD world backstories. Perfect for DMs wanting some inspiration. Plenty of art old and new.

If you are a DnD fan, want lore from the beginning to date, that features original artwork and material this is for you. If you just want some lore and an interesting read covering the 50 years of DnD this is also for you.

I brought this hoping for in game mechanics to smoothly change settings, no, what you get are fullPage reprints of setting specific artwork and a 2,000 word rabble per setting which doesn’t really explain what the setting is about.The physical book is larger than say a PHB and more the size of a box set

This book was supposedly written by the Wizard Mordenkainen, and the “authors” made him sound generic, repetitive, uninspiring, and completely soulless.The details of the various places and settings were often inaccurate and lacked any of the atmosphere those places and settings originally inspired.There were moments when reading where the narrative just didn’t make sense, almost as if the “authors” had just Googled the settings without actually playing in or even reading any of the fiction associated with the places or settings, so that they created a disconnect that made it difficult to understand why they had even bothered.Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone as it wouldn’t help someone better understand any of the places mentioned when the source material of those places and the setting material is much better and still available to buy as PDF or POD.
