Monsters and Creatures: An Adventurer's Guide

Great light reading and a fun intro to the world of Dungeons and Dragons for the uninitiated. I got these for my son, who was a big fan of the old "Practical Guide to..." series of books by Mirrorstone Books, which was like a spin-off line of books published by Wizards of the Coast back around 2007-2008. Those were aimed at young readers and featured a similar format to these new volumes. He was very pleased with both the Monsters & Creatures and Warriors & Weapons guides. I quickly read through each of the new volumes and enjoyed what I saw. These would be a great primer for bringing new players into the world of D&D (or any fantasy RPG for that matter). The key here is light reading and just a taste to spark the imagination and introduce them to the world and the character classes, races, creature concepts, etc. Great art direction and well-produced books. Will definitely get the next volume coming out later this year (Dungeons and Tombs).

Definitely the easiest entry point to D&D for children of all ages.

Perfect for starting adventures who don't want to start worrying about dice and skill saves yet. Its just for world building and giving you a little taste of the D&D worlds.

Book itself is very nice - hardcover, binded, great visuals so it's instantly interesting. The monsters are detailed very well with illustrations on each page once again, including size charts. Overall a good read, the only bummer is this one of a series and each book is a bit on the pricey side compared to the number of pages per book.

Mega gut. Man muss halt Englisch können.
