The only minor complaint that could be given is that sometimes you can see through pages slightly, but that is a super minor issue that only comes up in a few places. The pages have a high gloss to them which looks really nice. The binding, cover, and paper quality are all quite high. These pieces really are well put together and work great with the book’s layout despite their clear style difference.
Standing apart from the more medieval styles in the book, there are also fantastic full color illustrations throughout. I half expected to find a knight fighting a snail on one of the pages. The whole book takes on a medieval scribe’s art style with contrasting blues, greens, reds, and yellows used in fantastic drop case letters and page boarding. Strikingly, the internal artwork and design is much more colorful than you might first imagine. While the book is easily on par with anything put out by Wizards of the Coast, the internal style and layout is a bit different. The hardcover book meets the high quality print standards we’ve come to expect from TTRPG material over the years. Book Quality – How Well is Strongholds and Followers Made? There’s a lot packed into this book and it’s a well crafted expansion of rules for players that want their characters to settle down in one location and play a larger scale game. These rules include a framework for things like warfare, concordance (think high level prayer), creating magic items, adding followers to your party or adventures, and rules for handling things that happen over long periods of time.
The rules provided give structure to managing this for the both the GM and the players. Once you and your party have constructed a stronghold you’re seen as a big deal, and that’s where the followers part of this book comes in. This book divides strongholds up into different functional categories of keeps, temples, towers, and establishments, all of which provide different benefits. Specifically, strongholds that hearken back to the early days of the game where it was common for a group of adventures to ascend to power and then acquire a base of sorts. Just like it sounds, this book adds additional rules for handling strongholds and followers to your games. Strongholds and Followers Review What is Strongholds and Followers About?
