What's in a name? Not an awful lot in this case. That isn't the point though. Mike's World: The Forsaken Wilderness Beyond "expands on the fantasy world first introduced in Gary Gygax's dungeon module B2: THE KEEP ON THE BORDERLANDS. If you have ever wondered what perilous lands further surround the Keep, this is the book for you." Basically, it's a setting for B2, which is pretty damn awesome an idea IMHO.
What I find even more telling is what we are told this book is not:
This world is not for collecting, not for reading, not for gazing at, and not for displaying on your coffee table. It has no art, no stylish formatting, no production values at all. If you aren't going to use and abuse this in a game, there's no reason to buy it.
Normally 2.99 in PDF, until tomorrow morning Mike's World: The Forsaken Wilderness Beyond is on sale for 1.49. At that price, it is hard to pass up.
Still wish it had a better name ;)

I just bought this the other day well worth even full price, but yeah the name is not the best. Or sell that it's an addition to the Keep on the Borderlands.
ReplyDeleteMaybe "Beyond the Borderlands" or "Foresaken Borderlands" or something.
Also color numbers on the map would also help. I am pretty sure they had red ink pins in the 80s....
