Silver marches, 11 Aug 2002
This review is from: The Silver Marches (Forgotten Realms) (Paperback)
The Silver Marches is a 158 page campaign supplement by Ed Greenwood and Jarl Cox. It is an updated and greatly expanded version of Paul Jacquays Savage Frontier which previously detailed this area for 2nd Edition Dungeons & Dragons.
This handsome book is lavishly illustrated with pictures of important personalities and places in the text. The book is divided in to eight chapters. covering the history and geographic overview of the region, the unique fauna and flora of the Silver Marches,Important sites are discussed in some detail , Society,Politics in the region,famous personalities , new prestige classes,new monsters and a chapter of adventures including a suggested campaign setting.
The book is full of stimulating adventure hooks which can easily be used in other Dungeons & Dragons settings with a little work. But as a whole the Silver Marches is a good setting for anyone thinking of starting a Dungeons & Dragons campaign.
The only possible drawback is that to get full use from the material in the book you should own a copy of the Monsters Of Faerun supplement.

Top quality source, 22 Aug 2002
This review is from: The Silver Marches (Forgotten Realms) (Paperback)
Excellent book, lots of information about the savage frontier and the civilised cities of the north of Faerun. Good info. especially on Silverymoon, good prestige classes that fit the area well and superb presentation.
The only possible downside is that Silverymoon could have had a similar sized book just on itself.
