Newhon Review

[sidkfjjteidlkkf]

Hardback Book, 90 Pages.

The book stays in the flavor of Lankhmar adding very little game information. The details of the lands are based on the Lankhmar books. very little if any creation of materials is used, which is a facet that I like.

The following lands are covered: Ilthmar (City of the Rat God), Quarmall (Underground Kingdom of Necromancers), The Northlands: Land of the Eight Cities, Cold Wasite, and The Rime Isles.

Both Ice Magic and Necromancy are touched upon. Two Necromancy Spells are given: Summon Ghost and Erode Willpower. None are given for Ice Magic.

The final Section is the Campaign, Swords Across Lankhmar. It is actually very good, with the PC's becoming hirelings (Puppets?) of Sheelba and Ning. The PC's adventure across Newhon retireving artefacts for these two.

What I really like about the adventure/campaign is the way Ning and Sheelba's personalities are brought out.

To continue this, you will need the PDF Swords against Sorcery.

In all, the book was not really what I was expecting. But it is a good book and a great source of information for all you Lankhmar fans.

Will "Swords against Sorcery" also see print as a REAL book, not only as a PDF?

Does anybody know?

It is 30 pages. a few $ download. In Print form, could be as much as $12.00...

I beleive it was made for PDF, so why even do it in book form?

It is quite good though...

Well it never reappeared on the print release schedule, and it is not listed as a current release (none of their pdf only releases are)...

That and the fact that they usually wait until a month or so after a paper release before making a pdf release leads me to believe that an official print release in not likely.
