Book & Game Review
The books is very interesting to read with very good artwork. Well-rounded characters but stories too predictable. and is still too specialized.
Bastion Press has put out a second book in its legends collection. The 15 characters presented here have a complete description including short, but full histories. Each one includes 3 possible hooks to include them in a GMs adventures. Each one is interesting by itself.
The problem, as in the previous volume, is that while they are quite interesting they are difficult to incorporate into a campaign. But, the lower levels and obvious NPC status of most of the new batch make it a bit easier to work with, though it's still lacking somewhere.
Conclusion
Like its predecessor, this is a good read. But, it doesn't seem useful enough for the average player to buy. I think this, like the first book, might be used by a DM for ideas. However, it is better than the first and if you have the money and are looking for some mildly original concepts this would be it.
