Slayer's Guides är väl inte direkt användbara, men kan vara ganska roliga att läsa (eller larviga, beroende på vad man tycker är roligt). Men absolut inget man behöver offra surt förvärvade slantar på. Om man nu inte lever i överflöd för då spelar det väl ingen större roll vad man köper. Själv har jag kollat in en av dessa Guides (Gnolls tror jag det var), men den var inte mycket att hurra över.

Litet utdrag....

Här följer ett liet utdrag om Slayer's Guide to Gnolls, från d20 review.

The Slayer's Guide to Gnolls very much resembles the previous book in appearance, layout and structure. This 32 page book covers much the same areas (although, of course, with different content), and anyone who has read Hobgoblins will have a fair idea of what to expect. As in Hobgoblins, there are boxed out sections of narrative here and there, some a couple of lines long, others up to a page in length. These certainly help to characterise the sometimes dry text. The cover is impressive, in full colour, depicting a battle-ready gnoll, and the artwork insde is a mixture of pencil and ink drawings, all in black and white.

So, to summarise: a thorough book, useful to DMs who wish to add life to the gnolls in their game. If you liked The Slayer's Guide to Hobgoblins then you'll like this book. Occasionally dry in places, but full of useful bits to lift and use in your game. My favourite parts - the adventure hooks and ideas, Edendale, and the narratives throughout which added great atmosphere and brought to life the information being read. Oh, and the publisher is English. Which is good.
