My adventures in The Blackwood are without a doubt some of the most RPG fun I've had. I've had the opportunity to play through the main storyline as well as several one off adventures. The Blackwood is so vivid and laid out so perfectly, that even in a one off, you're able to get a real feel of the world. I've made two characters of differening race and playstyle. The book provides you plenty of information about each race, it becomes easy to build a character that fits right into the stories. I find the examples of regular phrases or names from each race to be particularly useful.
The book itself is gorgeous as well. I got the hardcover premium copy and I'm glad I did. The art is gorgeous in either version, but colors and inks in the premium version stand out. It doesn't feel cheap, and has a satisfying weight when held. I have it displayed in my room like I would any poster or picture.
I'm very excited to keep having adventures in The Blackwood. I'm already thinking about my third character!
5 stars!
