Tome of Adventure Design by Mythmere Games

I don't know exactly what happened but, I'm in prison and I put in for the mythmere games kick starter for the revised Tome of Adventure Design . After seeing my friends' copy of the orignal, I thought it was so cool and had to have it. So I called my folks and found out there sas a kickstarter for the revised edition. I didnt make it into the kick starter and was refunded my money, so I bought the original version. Several months later, however , Mythmere games sent me a complimentary copy ! As an incarcerated person and gamer, I respect and appreciate this gesture. The revised book itself is a lot more polished looking than the original , on better paper with much better more subtle cover design. It looks more official. Its also organized better, which is important for this kind of book, VERY important. I want to say that this book is very unique . You can use it to make kind of procedurally generated content , but I actually can see it being used for a broader variety of creative projects pertaining to a fantasy setting. It would be really cool to see something like this geared for sci fi. A lot of the tables such as the narrative and character tables could with a little creativity apply to a non fantasy game as well. Thanks to Matt Finch and Mythmere games for helping a down and out gamer , and creating an interesting and original grimoire.
