Village Book 1 is a 1978 fantasy role-playing game supplement published by Judges Guild.

Contents

Village Book 1 maps out forty-eight small villages in grey on seven millimeter hex paper.[1]

Publication history

Judges Guild began their publication of original material with a subscription format, but by 1978 the line between subscription and non-subscriptions items would grow increasingly vague. Thus Judges Guild's innovative Village Book I (1978), which featured 48 village maps and various random tables for filling in those villages, appeared as part of Installment R (1978).[1]{{rp|191}} A listing of cumulative sales from 1981 shows that Village Book 1 sold over 25,000 units.[1]{{rp|200}}

Different Worlds Publications later acquired and distributed game products formerly produced by Judges Guild, including Village Book 1, Village Book 2, Castle Book I, and Castle Book II.[4]

Reception

Kurt Butterfield reviewed Village Book 1 in The Space Gamer No. 39.[2] Butterfield commented that "If you're one of those judges who hates to spend a lot of time mapping and planning out a village, or if you often find yourself needing one on the spur of the moment, then this booklet is for you."[2]

Ken Rolston reviewed the Different Worlds Publications version of Village Book 1 in The Dragon #133.[4] Rolston commented that "[The] book contains the layouts of about 50 different villages, small towns, and castles, all drawn on hex sheets. There are no details for the functions or contents of the individual buildings, but it's nice to have the layouts when whipping up an adventure setting on short notice."[3]
