Review of Kingdoms of Kalamar - Fantasy campaing setting

The Original version

the cover

Initial impressions 
the book comes as a PDF of the original work and would seem to be natively a PDF rather than a scan of the herd copy as may PDF's of books this age are. The pages are clear and easy to read as a result and are devoid of annoying scan artefacts.

It comes in two parts book one which is in black and white covers the Geography of the Sovereign lands both political and physical and the first impression at least is that unsurprisingly quite a bit of this material found its way into later source books, such as the D&D 3e Kingdoms of Kalimar - Campaign setting Source book.. The PDF is navigable and you will be familiar with this if you have any other Kenzer and Co PDF's Book two is in colour and covers a grid of large scale relief maps of the whole area again much of this was likely reused in latter products but the lay out here makes it much more usable than say the large map jolly did for roll20 or the fold out maps form Kingdoms of Kalimar - Campaign setting Source book.

Sample page form book one

The sample illustrates the points I mad about book one in the preamble and allows me to continue in more detail here the The book starts with a brief introduction to the world of Telene and its history focusing on the events which occurred from the Migrations of the human ethnicities from Svimohzia to the northern continent in particular the period from  the formations of the precursors of the current nations to the present day. Most of the gist of this material will be familiar to any one who has any of the latter d&d source books as it seems  formed a basis for similar sections in those.

There will be a proper review here very soon but at the moment this is more of a reminder for the blog Author to get on with stuff as soon as he can. I will also be including a couple of sample screen shots of the product to give the reader an idea what the thing is like inside
