Jim Zub Gives a Sneak Peak at DUNGEONS & TOMBS
Jim Zub writes the A Young Adventurer’s Guide series of books for Dungeons & Dragons and he recently shared some of the next book on Twitter. Dungeons & Tombs is the next book to be released in the series and it appears to be really useful. It looks like there will be tips on making maps as well as information about some common enemies like the infamous Gelatinous Cube. There even looks to be information about the settings (at least Ravenloft). Dungeons & Tombs looks like a fantastic addition to the collection.
“This introductory guide to the worlds of the leading fantasy role-playing game provides an immersive illustrated primer to the prisons, castles, traps, and labyrinths where players find adventure in D&D.
In this illustrated guide for new players, you’ll be transported to the mystical and magical worlds of Dungeons & Dragons and given a one-of-a-kind course on the dungeons and deathtraps for which the game (and all its iterations) is known. Featuring maps, cutaway illustrations, and fun insights that show would-be adventurers how to travel and survive in these fantastical settings, along with original illustrations and archival images, the book shines a spotlight down the dark, foreboding corners of the most infamous locations in the worlds of D&D. The perfect jumping-on point for young fans of fantasy looking to give D&D a try, the book also features prompts to encourage creative problem-solving skills in the dangerous situations you may find yourself in when on D&D adventures.”
You can pre-order your copy of Dungeons & Tombs from Amazon or Penguin Random House now and the book will release on November 26.
