Summary: oh my god!
Review: This book is outstanding. Let me start with that and get into the particulars. My only nitpick is the price tag - I think anything over 25 bucks for a non color roleplaying book is a bit much, but after going through this, I changed my mind... somewhat. That said.. The art is unbelievable. It is black and white throughout, but unbelievably edgy and evocative. Some roleplaying works rely on large breasted and dimwitted female representations to sell their art.. and I have bought my share.. but this book has none of that. It is a book of demons, and it delivers right down to the core. This book is NOT, let me add, for juvenile games. Some of the demons are demons of lust, and it goes into the mechanics to roleplay out the acquisition of such a demon.. Very much for adult games. Another point - thoroughness. This is not just a monstrous manual. This book is a complete history of demons other than Ba'aetzu and Ta'anari, an opposition to them, that allows for a complete plot development between the forces of darkness for your players to attack. The entire book is outstandingly woven together to present a complete tapestry of background information sure to kick of the creative genius in every dm. Finally, usability. THis book contains challenge ratings from 1/2 to 40, and an index to match - making it completely usable by all players at any level or time. Wanna spin in a sub plot, diversion, or lead into a greater twist later on involving the machinations of those who dwell below? drop in a minor demon devoted to, for example, shuggarebb, and let the rest of it work out later. Wonderful book, almost worth the price tag.
