Six locatioms for Demon Wars

"Demon Wars - Enchanted Locations" by Thomas M. Reid and James M. Ward Printed and Distributed by Fast Forward Entertainment ISBN-10: 1-932201-53-X --- 128 Pages The third book in Fast Forward's Demon Wars series, this book also features art from "Crossgen Comics". This supplement is designed to add new material to the first book, "Demon Wars Campaign Guide", and the second book, the "Player's Guide". The short introduction explains what you need to play and also the start of an adventure - "The Bridge Adventure" which continues on through the book. Info also includes how to use the included locales in your campaign, and even a paragraph on using these sites in other campaigns. A major boss NPC is introduced, who is designed to perplex the characters though the six locations and eleven parts of the whole adventure. The book shows the suggested order of the eleven places to visit. A two page spread black and white map of the known world of Corona is last. The six major places include: 1) St. Mere-Abelle 2) Andur'Blough Inninness 3) The Barbacan 4) Tymwyvenne 5) Path of Starless Night 6) Walk of Clouds Each of these sites has an introduction, a mini-history, a prominent NPC, a map or two, material on what it is like today, a layout, and another part or two of the Bridge Adventure. Five of the six locales have two-part adventure sections. Six creatures fill out the rest of the book, except for the Open Gaming License, and three advertisements. This book is ideal for GMs who want some locations to fill out the world of the Demon Wars, and also can be used in a campaign that has nothing to do with Demon Wars! I must say that I love R. A. Salvatore's stories, so getting these books was a "No-Brainier" for me. These four books cover just the first trilogy in the series. Salvatore wrote four other books in this universe that takes place after the original trilogy. There is no material from the newer four books included. These six locations, along with the material on each section, make for a great book to add to your collection, especially if you are running the Demon Wars campaign. They also could serve as locations in another campaign, making this book quite a bit more useful. My personal favorite place to use from this book is the Monastery near St. Mere-Abelle. The primary use of this structure is to train Monks. That makes this an ideal start to a campaign in which one or more players want to be a monk. The full page map of the monastery indicates the huge size of the building and grounds, although the site only has one dock and pier, this pier is quite large enough for almost any ship to visit. It is a deep water wharf, with room for two large sailing vessels, one on each side of the pier. The breakwater that sticks far out into the All Saints Bay is totally man-made. An extremely long first wall protects the residents from attacks fro the west, and the almost equally wall extending from it protects from attacks from the East, or the Sea. At every turn of either wall is a guard tower that is always manned. Quite a few farms and fields stretch north and south from the Monastery which provide food and drink for the citizens. In addition, there are three underground levels that continue almost from every corner from the building above. The quarry that is in the third subterranean level provides the rocks that are shaped from the granite walls and are then taken to use as replacements for worn down pieces of the walls. Yet another book from my older collection that may make it into a part of my campaign world. If I can use this book then you can, too! Recommended. Your mileage may vary.
