This feels unfinished and bereft of anything really significant that would be able to be used in a game. While I spoke positively in a discussion post, I feel that was before a better look through after the inital purchase in which it appeared as though I overestimated the contents. Take out half of the location and add more stuff to them, many of them just feel bland and the locations that do seem interesting would do better with more details. Throw in a scenario or something maybe to, or at least more fleshed out hooks that don't feel painfully generic.

As well, so many of the location are in the North. Besides two, a Kentucky and WV location, almost none are in the South at all. In fact, looking at Vol. 2, it appears that the Western one is more Central North, with barely any Western located, and none Southwestern from appearances.

I give this a pass. Don't let the nice cover art fool you, or the amount collaborators. Though it's organization is as wide as the ocean, it is as shallow as a puddle.

I was dissapointed by this product, mainly because I was expecting more. Each home town is described by a single page of text. (Some have two pages, but the second page consist of photos.) How much can you pack into a single page? Not much. The adventure hooks are usually 2 to 4 breathless sentences which sketch a mystery, but all the work is left to the keeper.

If they had one third as many towns, but each had 6 to 10 pages of material I would feel the product would be worth the price.

That said, how good are these short sketches of the towns? Some succeed in making the towns seem interesting, others are dull, or have 'adventure hooks' I would never use.

The cover art is fun and evokative.

My overall feeling is 'meh', and a wish I had spent my money more wisely.

Warm regards, Rick.

A great resource with some really interesting hooks which I've been able to slot into an ongoing campaing. Here's hoping for a Volume 2!

This is a fantastic book, well laid out and beautifully designed to allow keepers to find a new locale filled with ideas, people or events to either start a new adventure or to add road trips to existing stories. Each of the contributions from the creators describes their own town or favourite location as a place to set your tales. Truly amazing and I will look forward to future volumvolumesvolumvolumesvolumes
