It's a really cool supplement! If you didn't know, it was heavily inspired by "Veins of the Earth" by Patrick Stuart (design, rules for wilderness generation etc.), which is also a monster/setting book for a weird underground world. If you liked "Into the Wyrd and Wild" you will probably like this too. :)
@@JPCoovertVeins is the GOAT! ...And this thread right here is a really good example of why it's so messed up that Charlie Furguson Avery omitted Patrick Stewart from his "further reading" list.
Oh, why do you do this to me? This looks right up my alley and I can't wait to snag a copy. Thankful I am gainfully employed again . . . And I can't wait to see what you do with the inspiration this gave you!
Great video! As you know, I love love love this book. Probably my favorite ttrpg supplement, which is saying a lot because there’s so much good stuff out there. Definitely using this for my next campaign!
At the beginning, I thought it wasn't really something for ne, because my games tend to be lighter. Your excitement and presentation won me over though.
I've been Running my Symbaroum campaign with this book.... My players are literally quaking in fear of the monster that is the Davokar Forest... They have never been more worried about character death than when I whip this thing out...lol
Incredibly strange that *Veins of the Earth* wasn't prominently credited, despite *Into the Wyrd* taking such clear + obvious (glaring, really) inspiration from it... It seems weird as hell to me that the author has listed a whole bunch of influences/recommendations but omitted the one title that must have served as a kind of template. That said, I love the art in this book.
It is a good book but it is a huge pity that it does not acknowledge "Veins of the Earth" from which it most obviously takes most of its inspiration from, from content to layout, to concepts, to the theme.

I bought this and have found tons of inspiration....amazing setting!!!
I picked this up on your recommendation. I also picked up Into the Cess and Citadel, which is similar, but for city adventures.

I built a short adventuring using this to run for new players. We're still in the middle of it, but we're having a blast
The creepy wilderness is A++
Also I've been starting my first ever hex crawl, this book will be a huge resource for one of the regions.
I absolutely love this book. I’m currently folding it into my Shadowdark campaign.

Ooh! This looks like a must have!
Picked up symbaroum from free league. The main location is the dark forest. This book sounds like the perfect supplement to go along with it
One of the best supplements out!
That's a rich setting book. Good choice.

It's dark for sure, but you can definitely pick and choose and alter whatever you want to make it work for you!
Heck yeah! Great video! That book looks Awesome!!
Fantastic supplement!
