review:
'Dungeons and Drawings: An Illustrated Compendium of Creatures' by Blanca MartÃnez de Rituerto and Joe Sparrow is an illustrated bestiary of creatures that one might encounter in role playing games.
In alphabetical entries from Ahuizotl to Zombie, the reader learns on one page about the stats and dangers of every creature. A system of icons gives alignment, element, and type. An infographic ranks each monster on a scale of 1 to 5 for things like combat, magic and loot. There is a description of what an encounter with the creature might be like and some interesting text noting where in the real world the origins might have come from.
The second page is a full page drawing of the creature. There are some nice variations of drawings for things like vampires or a colossus. The drawings are colorful and some are kind of funny. The book ends with sources for further reading.
What could be more fun than an encyclopedia of monsters? I had a fun time reading this.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
