Its product designation was TSR 1071. ContentsThe Rules Cyclopedia contained all the major rules, compiled and revised from the Dungeons & Dragons Basic Rules, as well as the Expert Rules, Companion Rules, and Master Rules boxed sets.[1] However, the book's introduction on page 5 states that it is "intended to be a reference volume for those who already play the D&D game ... this book is aimed at the experienced user ... [it] lacks many of the examples and patient explanation you'll find in the D&D box sets".[2] The same year, a revised introductory Dungeons & Dragons set was released to introduce new players to the game.[1] This was the second revision to the D&D rules.[2] These guidelines allow a player to develop and play characters from levels 1-36, and includes a special section on skills.[1] The book also contained an overview of the Known World (Mystara) and Hollow World campaign settings.[1] It also has rules on how to convert characters between the Dungeons & Dragons game and the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition game. The Rules Cyclopedia includes two optional classes to the game: the druid (introduced in the Companion ruleset) and the mystic (introduced in the Master ruleset, similar to the monk class found in Advanced Dungeons & Dragons). Publication historyThe D&D Rules Cyclopedia was designed by Aaron Allston and published by TSR, Inc.[1][2] This 304-page hardback book features cover artwork by Jeff Easley and interior art by Terry Dykstra.[3] ReceptionRick Swan reviewed the D&D Rules Cyclopedia for Dragon magazine #184 (August 1992).[4] He calls the book a "stunningly comprehensive volume", explaining that it "includes more detail than most GMs will ever use [...] but if you want it, you can probably find it here".[4] According to Swan, "Best of all, the material is a joy to read, thanks to the breezy style of Aaron Allston, who must've been genetically engineered to write RPG rules. This is a must for serious fans."[4]Shannon Appelcline said that the book "was a nice compilation that was appreciated by the fans".[2] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.dndclassics.com/product/17171/DD-Rules-Cyclopedia-Basic?it=1&filters=0_0_44699|title=D&D Rules Cyclopedia (Basic)|author=Shannon Appelcline|website=dndclassics.com|accessdate=September 9, 2014}} 2. ^1 2 {{Cite book|author=Shannon Appelcline|title=Designers & Dragons|publisher=Mongoose Publishing|year=2011| isbn= 978-1-907702-58-7|pages=27}} 3. ^1 Allston, Aaron, Steven E.
