Rich and rewarding
This is not only a bestiary but also a souircebook into the rich mythology that is Glorantha.
-
Impressively detailed
This bestiary contains a lot of detailed information about the flora and fauna of Glorantha and is beautifully presented and illustrated. The only way it could be better would be to have even more pictures, but that's a minor gripe. Overall, a valuable resource.
-
A must have for monster lovers
Even if you never plan to play RQ:G (though you really should) pick this one up for the art alone. Lots of very enjoyable lore tidbits too. Of course if you are running a game this is an invaluable resource.
-
A Truly Fantastic Bestiary
The art in this book is worth five stars alone. There's nothing quite like a good book of monsters, and this is a good book of monsters...and lots of other cool critters besides!
