Living Greyhawk Gazetteer (Dungeons & Drangons: Living Greyhawk Campaign)

Rating:
Summary: Greyhawk in a nutshell
Review: The Living Greyhawk Gazetteer is a great sourcebook for any new D&D player. It goes into greater detail than the other Gazetter (which is much smaller and cheaper) and the details it has is a great help to building a character that is fully set for this campaign world. The book is not a absolute-must-rush-to-get, but due to the fact that the core rule books are set in the greyhawk setting, this helps with all the small things. Not to mention that you get a map of the Flanaess, and we all know that the reason we buy these things are for the maps.

Summary: Newbie's aside, this book is a fair waste of money
Review: Unless you are totally new to the Greyhawk campaign world and/or are a RPGA member adventuring in a real Living Greyhawk setting, this book is a waste of money. I wish I had stuck with the simple DnD Greyhawk Gazeteer (the skinny one). This version essentially expands on the details presented in the skinny version, but much of the material is irrelevant to the current campaign setting. It's history, history,history, and there is little "new" about it. Again, if your new to DnD and have no experience with Greyhawk, buy it... otherwise it's a waste of cash.
