Fantastic setting book full of useful information for actual play. Also easy to translate into other genres like dci fi with little effort.

Travel across the land, adventure in the wilds, fight the pagans, defend the crown, trade, spread the gospel, live the myths of old. Another great setting with the medieval authentic paradigm, were it is faithful to history but also to the relevant myths of the time. Fantastic world building tools, it was everything you need to build a world!

Very good if you are a DM that want to build a campaing on earth mediaval past, with historic authenticity, its fare better then most and its made to actualy game!

In concept, an interesting idea for a campaign. In execution, a 80s era style game product built around endless simplistic charts and price lists. The historical background is a series of short articles on the various cultures and nations along the way, none of which are described in useful detail. You can get better service off the wiki entry for the silk road and a bit of link following, and google search for maps.
