Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide by Wizards RPG Team

3.0

Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide by Steve Kenson is a subpar supplement for Dungeons & Dragons that tackles the storied Forgotten Realms campaign setting. While the book provides a great wealth of information for players to help flavour their characters for this world, it leaves a lot to be desired from the perspective of a DM. The book glosses over many settings and the mechanics of the world without diving deeply enough to be a strong standalone book to help build a story in this world. Instead it seems to expect that you either purchase additional supplements, or do more research online.

TL;DR: Great flavour piece for Forgotten Realms characters, but falls flat on bringing enough lore or description to build the foundation of a campaign set in this world.
