Summary: A Dark Cornucopia of Characters, Magic, and Monsters
Comment: Villains' Lorebook presents a cornucopia of characters, magic, and monsters collected from Forgotten Realms novels, short stories, articles, and accessories (several out of print). Dungeon masters will find a generous spread of ideas for possible encounters and long-term adventures.
A companion volume to Heroes' Lorebook, this accessory acts as a sampler of rogues (unlike the Heroes' volume, which tried to present ALL the heroes of the Realms). Twenty-nine juicy villains have been converted from the Realms' huge selection of fiction, ranging from Drizzt Do'Urden's foe Artemis Entreri to the 29th necromancer lich Szass Tam. Extended charts for THAC0s and spell progression from levels 1 to 40 are provided conveniently in the front of the book.
Supplementary materials include large sections of evil organizations, magic items, priest and wizard spells, and monsters (five of them unique individuals such as the balor Errtu and the venerable red dragon Mist), making this collection a delightful resource for any DM.

Summary: Villain Lorebook promotes intelligent gaming
Comment: While it has been said that this book rehashes old material, it is still an invaluable tool for game masters. For starters, it compiles a whole slew of villains for you to use in part or in whole. Many of these villains have been pronounced dead and people have a problem with this. What we often times forget is that AD&D is a fantasy role playing game. The world isn't run by TSR or RA Salvatore (though, he's obviously great) but by the Dungeon Master. If you want to use a defeated Lich, use him. Maybe he didn't die in your world. Or perhaps the campaign with these villains in them occurs before their deaths, since there are no rules on when campaigns must take place (and especially since we could ignore them even if there were). I'm a DM, and the one thing i've learned is that my world is different from anyone elses, so get the book, read it, and use the villains. They're fun, dynamic, and all the stats are there for you to enjoy. Have fun and remember we're playing a game with nmo rules but the ones we make.

Summary: As I have thought........
Comment: As I have thought, the Bad Guys of the FR settings are either Wizard's or Undead (Lich's. for example) or simply dead (mostly killed by their o so good counterparts). About three quarters of this book is about villains long dead. Well, I don't count myself amoung those who support evildoers, but I would prefer more of a status quo among the FR heroes and villains. This book only told me for sure, what I expected for long. So long .........
