Praise for Prior Design Guides

โ€œClass is in session . . . The Kobold Guide to Worldbuilding SHOULD be considered a textbook on intelligent setting creation.โ€

–Dave Hinojosa, The Gaming Gang

“A fantastic resource”

–Skyland Games

โ€œWhile the book is aimed at the RPG crowd, a huge percentage of the material would be just as valuable to an author writing a novel set in an original world. . . . For anyone whoโ€™s ever had the drive to create a fictional place . . . The Kobold Guide to Worldbuilding will spark some new ideas and help you add the proper doses of verisimilitude and outlandishness.โ€

–Ed Grabianowski, i09
