Ravenloft Campaign Setting, Revised, Boxed Set (2e)
Publisher: Wizards of the Coast

Nice books, but the conversion to PDF is extremely lacking.

The cards were scanned by placing nine cards at a time on a scanner bed. As such, there's no common alignment. If someone wanted to trim and use these, it'd be a mess. Maybe re-scan and offer these with DTRPG's card POD service I've heard about?

The maps were provided as pages for each 'tile' of the map instead of a single big page for each map. Very hard to navigate. (I thought it was only one map at first, actually.)

The poster art piece is just nonexistent.

Manual of the Planes (1e)
Publisher: Wizards of the Coast
by Brett D. [Verified Purchaser]

The Planes were a common high-level adventure region for Dungeons and Dragons for several reasons. Tough opponents could exist, and the environments themselves could be fantastic and dangerous. This book covers the 'Great Wheel' or a detailed model of how various other places connect with the 'Prime Material Plane' or 'normal' world.

From a technical standpoint, this is a good-quality scan that is legible, clear, and has a good selection of features. Text is searchable, there's bookmarks for every section, etc.

As to content, this is a relatively ancient book, and it does show. This is not a 'reader' for all but the brave, as it's very dry and the text is somewhat repetitive, with each plane discussed receiving a standard format writeup containing how to survive there, random encounters, special places, etc. It's very dry, and definitely organized as a 'reference' int he sense that if a DM is planning a trip for his characters to The Abyss, there's a few pages covering all you need to know to make survival an interesting challenge.

Excellent option. A great way to get the player-friendly bits of the setting without getting all the bits I don't need like the setting and background.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: Easy access to useful tables. Prinitng a copy of these has been extremely helpful.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: I prefer bound works over PDFS, but that's minor, and being able to print the various tables has been useful.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>
