Song Of Ice and Fire Campaign Guide Hardcover – October 23, 2013

An excellent source for the lands in the game. There is plenty of good images and maps in addition to all of the information given in the book. The book came in perfect condition.

Although I'm not a long time RPG player, I love the saga of GoT. So I decided to read this book in order to become a Narrator (I also have the rulebook), but the book has so many details that I think this should be a MUST if you love this saga of books and want to know more. In my opinion, the main reason for that is because has details about A LOT of houses and characters so it really complements the rulebook and the novels.

This book has great information, art, and does a great job of building on an already deep world. Even if you aren't interested in playing the game itself, but just want to learn about the books or show it is worth the money.

I don't play the game and was not interested in playing the game. What I WAS looking for was an atlas and guide to the series. A friend of mine suggested this book and I ordered it (reluctantly) and was very surprised to find it was almost exactly what I was looking for.It includes maps, back story, culture, history, and the different houses. It is an excellent resource for those that read the book or watch the series.I can't give the game any stars, because I did not intend to play the game. However, for a companion/atlas/guide it is the best thing I have found so far.PLEASE NOTE THERE IS ANOTHER (OLDER) VERSION OF THIS BOOK. MAKE SURE TO GET THIS VERSION (A GAME OF THRONES EDITION) - IT IS UPDATED AS OF 2012. The old one is from 2010.

The Campaign Guide is an incredibly useful supplement for the  Song of Ice and Fire Roleplaying Game . A frequent criticism of the game's core rule book has been that it provides very little background and setting information for players who aren't already familiar with George R.R. Martin's fantasy novels or the HBO series based upon them; the Campaign Guide rectifies that, and then some, by devoting an entire book to the subject.The Guide allots a full chapter to each of the Seven Kingdoms, providing a map for each region, a description of its important cities and places, biographical information of many prominent characters from the novels, and a list of all of the noble houses from each area. Many of the character descriptions include game stats, making this a useful game reference, but perhaps the nicest feature is a full-color rendering of each minor house's coat of arms in the top and bottom margins of the text. The Campaign Guide closes with a not-terribly-useful chapter describing the lands to the east in the briefest of possible terms.As I mentioned above, the Campaign Guide is really helpful to players who might not be familiar with the George R.R. Martin novels which this game brings to life, but it's also thorough enough that even diehard fans of the series could use it as a reference. The art and layout are good, and the binding is sturdy, ensuring years of happy gaming. I would strongly recommend this title to anyone who plans to run a campaign in this setting.

Love it, love it, love it. More of an encyclopedia than anything. Get it now.

I bought this not as a gamer but for more info about the world of Ice and Fire. There is now an official book that does this more effectively, however, at the time this was ideal for purpose. Nicely illustrated too.

An amazing resource for the core game if you want to include elements of the universe. Would even suggest for non game players for the sheer amount of information in this book.

Really great book about a song of ice and fire realm. I don't consider it necessary for players of ASOIAF rpg, but brings a lot more to the table if you want to dive deep in the lore and family feuds
