Equipment for Everyone!

"Ultimate Equipment Guide" by Matthew Sprange.

Subtitled: "Supplementary Rulebook 3"

Printed and Distributed by Moongoose Publishing.

ISBN-10: 1-903980-81-X -- 256 pages.

Now I know why these three volumes (This one, "More Equipment" and "Ultimate Equipment Guide 2") are so hard to find inexpensively. No one wants to part with them!

Ultimate Equipment Guide is probably one of the best deep looks at equipment there is. Almost every piece of Equipment is illustrated, giving Players and GMs a real look at what these things look like!

It is broken down into nineteen chapters, some of which contain other information.

01) Introduction.

02) Equipment in Your Campaign.

03) Designing D20 Equipment.

04) Arcane Sorcery.

05) Bards and Theatres.

06) Clerics and Temples.

07) Food, Drink, and Herbs.

08) Honor Amongst Rogues.

09) In the Wild.

10) Knick-Knacks of the Little Folk.

11) Psychic Mastery.

12) The Armoury.

13) The Dwarven Forge.

14) The Elven Retreat.

15) The Fighters Trade.

16) The Monastery.

17) Tools, Trades, and Crafts.

18) Rules Summary.

19) D20 and OGL License.

Just by this list alone, you can tell that this is a much more comprehensive look at all types of gear, ranging from items for Wizards, Mages, and Sorcerers; to Items for Common NPCs and the Tools, Trades, and Crafts that use them.

I'm not going to give you a detailed list, but I am going to tell you that this is one of the best books available for Equipment, both benign and deadly, and everything in between!

Items for every class, and a part about Designing D20 Equipment make this almost an indispensable book for GMs!

The very handy Rules Summary at the back of the book shows the ordinary tables of details for all of the Equipment above. But 36 pages of tables? You bet!

There's also a good Table of Contents, and a fine Index. The normal OGL is at the back.

Some of this material is from Third-Party publishers, too! Twenty-Eight different Third-Party Publishers! The addition of this other material makes this even more interesting.

As it is, I consider this book to be a godsend, but there's more! Believe it or not, there was enough material left over to make a second book, "More Equipment", and later a third book, "Ultimate Equipment 2!"

You do not need the other two books, as each can stand alone as a great resource of Equipment, but together they make up what amounts to an encyclopedia of gear! One of my very highest recommendations!
