Amazing books in quality and content. Looking forward to World building sessions even more now. The depth of language options compiled are impressive. The notes and succinct writing guide you well and you feel like your making logical choices for the naming conventions rather than just pure RNG.

I love the book, I just miss the glossy paper they used on the Tome of Adventure Design Revised and Swords & Wizardry Complete Revised
