Title: It looks cool - like some kind of weird tome
Review: I was given this book for Christmas in 1983 and have treasured it ever since. The version I have is the one with the Efreet on the front fighting some heroes outside the Fabled City of Brass on the Elemental Plane of Fire.It has lots of appendices with cool things like dungeon dressing, tricks and traps, random monster encounters and even a random dungeon generator that can be adapted for solo play! The recomended reading appendix has led me to seek out the books of several authors who I would not otherwise have read.The book is full of atmosphere, arcane ideas and oldschool art work. Gary Gygax likes to use interesting words like mileu and dweomer which makes it fun to read.The DM Guide has plenty of ideas and advice that is still extremely useful for the modern version of the game.And it looks cool - like some kind of weird tome.
