The book describes the land known as the Northern Reaches, which lie on the eastern seaboard of the D&D game's Known World,[1] also known as Mystara. ContentsThe guides Helfdan Halftroll, Onund Tolundmire, Saru the Serpent, and Dwalinn the Dwarf take the reader on a tour of the Northern Reaches.[1] The accessory describes the three Viking-style lands of Ostland, Vestland, and Soderfjord.[3] The thirty-two page Players Book gives an overview of the Northern Reaches, and contains rules for Northman characters, including optional rules for character personality traits. The sixty-four page DM Book contains the history, geography, nations and governments, rules, and nonhumans of the Northern Reaches, three scenarios, rules for adapting the setting to Advanced Dungeons & Dragons,[3] an epic campaign outline, and a new system of clerical magic: runes.[1] The gazetteer also includes a large color map and cardstock cutouts for constructing scale model Viking buildings.[3] The complete 3-D card village can be assembled and used as the setting for two of the detailed adventures.[1] Publication historyGAZ7 The Northern Reaches was written by Ken Rolston and Elizabeth Danforth, with a cover by Clyde Caldwell and interior illustrations by Stephen Fabian, and was published by TSR in 1988 as a sixty-four page book, a thirty-two page book, four cardstock sheets, a large color map, and an outer folder.[1] ReceptionJim Bambra reviewed The Northern Reaches for Dragon magazine No. 143 (March 1989).[2] He said that the book "introduces these cultures in a highly entertaining and informative manner",[2] concluding, "With its solid role-playing excitement and easy to digest background, this Gazetteer belongs in every D&D game collection."[2]Lawrence Schick, in his 1991 book Heroic Worlds, felt that the gazetteer gave "an excellent feel for what the Norsemen were really like".[1]References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite book|last=Schick |first=Lawrence|authorlink=Lawrence Schick|title=Heroic Worlds: A History and Guide to Role-Playing Games|publisher=Prometheus Books |year=1991|isbn=0-87975-653-5 |page=141}} {{D&D topics}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Northern Reaches}}{{D&D-stub}}2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{cite journal| last = Bambra| first = Jim| authorlink = Jim Bambra| title = Role-playing Reviews| journal = Dragon| issue = #143| page = 74| publisher = TSR| location = Lake Geneva, Wisconsin|date=March 1989}} 3 : 1988 books|Dungeons & Dragons Gazetteers|Mystara |
