Library Recommendations: June 2008
The reservations I have for the Forgotten Realms Adventures are the same as the ones I have for the generic adventures.
It looks like for the 4th edition, for Forgotten Realms as well as for generic Dungeons and Dragons, the adventures have the pocketed covers, which may not hold up to use.
Beyond the packaging, again, I have to admit that Wizards has some excellent creative writers handling the first batch of adventures.
While I have high hopes for this series of adventures, the price and suspect packaging make it hard to recommend this product for circulation. If the pockets rip open, is there anything else to hold it together? I don’t know.
However, if a library plans on having a reference set, something kept for in-house play, then they might want to consider picking up Scepter Tower of Spellgard to support the Forgotten Realms setting and see how well its received. At least with in-house play only, if the packaging falls apart you can slip it into pocket folders for the next group of gamers to use.
Dungeons and Dragons 3.0 and 3.5 were heavily supported by monthly free games available from the Wizard’s website. I cannot tell at this time if that tradition is going to continue.
