Scholar's Review 61 - DB 10: Hades

Unread post by desrocfc »

Scholar’s Review #61 - Dimension Book 10: Hades. The first book laying the foundation for the Minion Wars series, Hades paints a bleak picture. Jam-packed with content, it very satisfyingly fleshes out the politics and geography, as well as provide a veritable bestiary of monsters and encounter/weather tables any GM can leverage. I only recently acquired this title and can say that I missed out since this was initially published, back in 2007. These brutish demons have launched a Megaverse-spanning conflict, and it’s time to know your adversary. Overall, this book feels “complete” and a solid entry for any library. It's been a while since I've been satisfied to this level. The only "issue" I could possibly present is the seeming pixelation effect of the illustrations. The art is good, and I believe Jeff Russel provided the lion's share of entries; I'm just not sure if this was digitized improperly, a printing thing, what have you. It seemed an odd departure from the norm, but it certainly supported the theme of the book very well.

Admittedly perhaps not your cup of tea, but how did you find the Minion Wars? Did the demons of Hades find a way into your campaign?
