Format:Taschenbuch
Hier handelt es sich um das zweite Vorschaubuch, der Nachfolger von Races&Classes, nur geht es hier eben um (wer hätts gedacht) Welten und MOnster;-) Was für das eine Buch gilt kann man auch hier sagen: Viel Story keine Regeln! Aber gerade dadurch ein echter Appetizer, all die neuen Ideen scheinen als würde man auch bezüglich der Welten und Monster jetzt alles richtig machen.Die Bilder in diesem Buch gefallen mir fast noch besser als im Races, jede Ebene ist schonmal mit einem wunderbaren Bild vertreten die die Atmosphäre dieser vermitteln wie ich es schon seit den alten Tagen mit Bildern von Elmore nicht mehr gespürt habe. Die Ebenen teilweise leichter zu betreten so dass auch auf niedrigen Stufen hier Abenteuer möglich sind, eine stimmigere Kosmologie, mehr Charakter für alle Monster bei gleichzeitiger Vereinfachung der Statistik Blöcke...usw; Ich hatte bei jeder Seite das Gefühl dass hier Dinge berichtigt werden die schon lange gestört haben und sogar einige von denen einem beim lesen erst bewusst wird, daß sie gestört haben oder einfach besser zu machen sind. Auch hier gilt also: wers nicht erwarten kann, sich Appetit holen möchte oder einfach die ersten Bücher der 4. Edition besitzen möchte schlägt sofort zu, alle anderen eher nicht. Keep Playing!

A Good Introduction to D&D 4e and Follow-Up to the Previous Preview Book.
29. Januar 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
"Wizards Presents: Worlds and Monsters" managed to be one of the most enjoyable Wizards products I've read in years. The goal of the book moves beyond merely presenting changes in cosmology and combatants as they transition from 3.5 to 4e. Most importantly, the contributors, all of whom are helping to shape D&D 4e, have shared their reasons for these changes, and explicate why this should help improve the gaming experience for players and GMs. (In fact, it would be nice to see this insider's perspective in other gaming products.) The contributors seem genuinely excited about the results of their efforts to streamline game play, make monsters more interesting (and less time-consuming to stat up), and create a new space for the D&D gaming community.
Why 3 stars, then? Because while the artwork is lovely and the prose seems serves well to generate interest, I do feel that the contents of this volume could have either appeared for free on the Wizards of the Coast website, or could have been bundled with the previous book, "Wizards Presents: Races and Classes" for a far less ridiculous price.
Be that as it may, I can honestly say that, after reading this book, I am as excited about 4e now as I was about that red box Basic D&D game I bought with my allowance money when I was 10, and THAT hasn't happened in a long time.

It does what it says on the label
19. Mai 2008
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Most of the negative reviews don't seem to be about the product itself, but rather what they wish Wizards of the Coast would have done instead.
Like the other 4th Edition preview book, Worlds & Monsters does exactly what it promises: It gives a snapshot of what's to come in the new edition of Dungeons & Dragons, but from the vantage point of September 2007. This time, instead of hearing about various classes and races, we get a glimpse into the assumed setting of the game world. In previous editions, there were these assumed settings as well, but rarely were explicitly articulated.
Even moreso than its predecessor, there's a lot of great pieces of art in this book, very evocative of mysterious lands and ominous vistas. The writing also paints a picture of a world where darkness threatens to swallow the remaining light and where heroes are all that prevents evil from triumphing. Like all the best game books, it makes me want to play and now.
This sort of book has a built-in shelf life, however, and if you don't want to pluck down the bucks on a book that will mostly be obsoleted in a matter of weeks, pass it by. If your budget has the room, however, it's a beautiful and evocative little preview.

No reason to buy this anymore
23. September 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
Unless you are just a huge fan of game design, there is no point to this product anymore. I borrowed one from a friend, it was very much a sneak preview, read it once and be done with it kind of product.
