Look, this is an amazing setting, and this book is a great showcase of that. I was on the fence about the 5th edition kickstarter, but then I saw that this primer was free and I grabbed it. I was instantly hooked. This is the setting for which I am most anticipating running a game, and it is because of the way that they have set the world up to be compelling.

Not only is this setting about "Conan Meets Chthulhu", but it is also about playing in an age before recorded history when magic is real, but fading, and monsters stalk the Earth for another few heartbeats of history. Glaciers slowly encroach upon humanity like a sword of damocles and the world is equally at risk of falling into barbarity, depravity, or insanity.

Are you bad ass enough to carve a piece of Thule for yourselves, save the day, or just earn enough treasure to ride out the wintery apocalypse? Play the game and find out.

Seriously, this introduction to the setting should be enough to make you want to buy one of their campaign books.

5 out of 5.

Between the high quality artwork, the easy to follow to design, and the dozens and dozens of plot hooks, this is an excellent book for anyone looking for inspiration for a Conan or Lost World feel.

Extremely thorough overview of this very interesting setting that doesn't give away much, if anything to potential players, but allows them to get as hooked as the GMs that want to use it for a campaign setting.

I just backed the 5e Kickstarter for Thule and from everything I have heard from friends that have it for PF/3.5, 4e or 13th Age it is worth every penny.

A vibrant setting with varied types of play available all set in one book.

The setting looks amazing, and this guide dispelled any doubts about my desire to pick up the setting for 13th Age. I look forward to incorporating it into my homebrew campaign.

I would almost recommend not purchasing the Traveler's Guide and instead just buy the campaign setting.
