![]() ![]() While the 4 types of Strongholds appear generic at a first glance, some of them also have variants catering to a specific class. There are some examples provided, and while there are no explicit instructions on how to translate it into mechanics, there is also no need for it, since it is heavily dependent on the individual DM and campaign. The DM can add extra complications, either political in nature with local lords, or economic with the absence of resources or workforce. The whole process is streamlined and straightforward there is only the question of cost and time. This seems a bit unfair, when it could have been easily resolved by allowing multiple owners dependent on the Stronghold level, perhaps with an extra cost involved as well. However, it is restricted in the way that only one Stronghold of each type can be constructed in a single castle, potentially leaving party members to find alternative locations for their own bases. The solution provided in the book is a Castle, a sort of Stronghold Megazord that can combine several different types in one location. This means that not every member of the party is going to enjoy those benefits. Each class has no restriction on the type of Stronghold they can own, but there are certainly better synergies for most Class-Stronghold combinations.Įach Stronghold has a single owner who benefits from its effects. There are 4 base types of Strongholds the Keep, the Tower, the Temple, and the Establishment, each with unique traits. ContentĪbout ¼ of the book (60 pages) is dedicated to Strongholds. Moreover, there were no pages stuck together or otherwise misprinted, something which we have experienced even with WotC publications. The cover material feels very sturdy, and the pages are glossy and don’t feel flimsy. On a lighter note, the book quality is excellent. We have no further negative comments about the physical copy. This is also a complaint echoed by others online, so it seems it’s not an isolated incident. To get the negatives out of the way first, the book arrived with its cover significantly bowed and has remained that way regardless of being pressed by a great load of other DnD books. While this is not ideal, there were frequent updates about the issue, which alleviated any significant concerns. However, we should mention that there was an almost 1-year delay in the arrival of the books. As a side note, this was one of the most successful kickstarters concerning TTRPGs, if not in general. Even when there were some roadblocks, they were handled very well without any burdens being placed on the backers. However, the whole project was very well organized, and the team kept releasing regular updates on the progress of the book, minis, streaming, and shipping. It was the second Kickstarter we have ever backed, so we can’t say we have a lot of experience with them. The Kickstarterīefore we move to reviewing the book and its contents, we would like to mention a few things about the Kickstarter itself. I promise, in the next one I won’t be bumping on the table the microphone is on that much. And also let me know if you want to see more content of this kind. ![]() In case you go through it, any feedback is more than welcome. ![]()
