while i love this book random charts i do wish there was a better bookmark placements, or the ability to make my own.

This is a true marvel and if you don't get it you're missing out!!!! You might be great at planning / improvising items in situations. but THIS book? It elevates everything....

Plus I just love the artwork, seriously, folks, well done!!!

a great reference, but dropped a star because of the thick black borders around each page. I've been printing off pages as i need them for my campaign, but it wastes so much toner because of the page borders. I iiwouldiiwouldwouldiiwwould appreciate a pdf version that lets you remove that leyer for easier printing.

Some pretty good tables in this collection. Loses a star on the pdf because, for some reason, the author has password locked it so that you can't make your own bookmarks. Rather silly, considering it's really easy to get around the "security". You lose the hyperlinking from the TOC, but that is easy enough to recreate and you can then do your own bookmarks, etc. Just an unnecessary hassle that impedes useability.

This would be a decent collection of tables, IF I thought I could use them easily at the table. Unfortunately, it isn't hyperlinked for ease of navigation, which is fairly inexcusable for a reference PDF. Worse than that however is that the PDF is locked such that I cannot even manually add my own. Usability is KEY and as it currently stands, I'm likely not going to get this PDF to the table and I feel like this was money better spent elsewhere.

EDIT: Hyperlinks have been added! I'd like to be able to bookmark certain tables, but the security features that prevent editing are still in place.

After owning the composite books in pdf, I'm glad I picked this up in print! I went with standard colour because I didn't think the art would be the focus of a book of tables, but I have to say what art there is here is really well done, and definitely punches above its weight for a utility book. I'm a little sorry I didn't go for the premium option, but at nearly 40% increase in (sale) price, it's probably for the best. The border art, as thematic as it is, I'm pretty sure is there to make people think twice about printing their own copies, and comes a little close to some of the text than I'd like in places. I've been scouring my copy for defects as the POD service in the UK has been lacking in QA, but apart from the glue binding, this is as good as it gets to a perfect hardback copy.

Apart from some odd editing issues with almost every option 100 at the bottom of each page (seems to be a rogue tab character between 100 and the text), and in places the instructions to GMs could be made distinct from the flavour text, It's a wonderfully creative book to dip into when you can't quite think of a good insult, or blessing, or annoying cursed magic item. I chuckled out loud at the cursed wand of magic detection.

Between the presentation and humour, it's a book I find myself flipping through without intent, and not many books of tables make me do that.
