This book is absolutely awesome. While I don't plan to make my world exactly Medieval-accurate (because I don't want my world to be Medieval European), I do plan to make it historically possible. And this books helps a lot with that, not just with accuracy but also with inspiraton - the art is just so lovely!

I can't see how anyone could dislike this book unless they are not interested in historical accuracy. And even then, the art and world ideas alone would be enough to love this book.

(There is only one error which I mentioned in the description. It is about naming the Baltic and Finnic tribes as West Slavic, which they weren't. But this is very minor.)

Thank you!

great reference book to make an extremely and "painfully" real medieval campaing or rpg adventure. Just love it.

love this book. so many ideas to make my world gritty and real. fun to read great facts and most of all really great to let a game master add flavor and realsim to your medieval world!!! FANTASTIC!

A very complete and helpful product which delivers its promise : to give its reader insights into European medieval life. Useful for everyone wishing to have an medieval historical RPG or a more precise medfan one.

If you are keen on getting it right with any medieval setting for a role-playing game, or you want to inject a more historical and realistic edge to a fantasy, one this is quite simply the best book you can buy! Instead of having to use a great number of seperate and expensive books for reference this gives you eveything you would need in one place.

Orbis Mundi 2 is quite simply invaluable. I imagine writers would also find it very useful and if you just love history this is worth getting just to read. The book is a large one at around 450 pages and densely packed with information. The authors knowledge of the period is good as are his sources so this about as accurate as you can get. I have the softcover already but as I can see this book getting a lot of use I will probably also get a hardcover copy when one becomes available. It is not often I find a book worth getting two copies like that.
