Well written and interesting addition to AD&D 2nd Ed. If you need some deeper, more solid, info regarding your "monsters", this is the book to use! :)

I got my POD standard color printing in the mail and the letters are blurry and hard to read. To be clear it's possible to read them but it feels like the text is slightly out of focus in a distracting way. Not an issue I've noticed with other POD products I've gotten through DriveThru
I left 3 stars since but it's not really a comment on the module but the POD

This was my first D&D experience and it is still awesome. If WOT monitors these posts then please re-release with the same cover etc in the box set. Don't add skills, feats or advice on 'acting' just keep it the same. Your sales will be massive. Then start releasing the old B & X modules. With a small modification to replace with ascending AC this would outsell D&D 2024 by a mile.

The Black & White interior of this book contains the identical layout and Chapter organization of the original AD&D Dungeon Master's Guide.
I've had this book 4 or 5 years, and read it daily, and use it for a Solo AD&D game, as well as my bi-weekly AD&D campaign. It has held up well for a reprint, and if I ever need to replace it, it is reassuring that the price is marginally static for these purposes.
The gold accents on the front cover are simply part of the cover, not an added flourish to dress it up.
All of the charming, hokey and silly artwork that we remember is still in this reprint copy.
Even at $28.00, this book is well worth it. I think at the time I purchased it, I paid between $22 and $24, depending on what Drivethrurpg wanted for it, plus the shipping cost of $4.50.

Buyer Beware! Purchased this bundle specifically for use with Fantasy Grounds Unity (FGU). I had filtered specifically for FGU, and Virtual Tabletop. While the content may be acceptable for IRL games, half the content is missing the MOD files needed for FGU. Now, instead of spending time with friends and family, IF I decide to use this content, I'll be building maps, npcs, and anything else needed to run it. It wouldn't have been a big deal had there been a note indicating that not all the MOD files were available, but I saw nothing that indicated missing content. Also, the PDF's are in a weird format, so expect to spend hours fixing them if you don't have a word processing software to fix and import that. I fully expected to be updating some content, and tweaking it for the party I'm running. I did not expect to basically rewrite the content. I don't pretend to be overly competent with FGU, and that's one of the reasons I wanted to buy a pre-made module.

This is definitely an underrated setting for DnD as a whole. I hope 5e brings something like this back using the Bastion system.
My review isn't of the Birthright setting but this download. Where are my maps? The original setting included them, why not this product? I didn't see where it says the maps were or were not included. So the cost should have been less with a note of omission.
Best setting ever, not so good for the product download.
If they add the maps (and yes there are images online) I will change my rating.

The digital copy is very blurry and near impossible to read, I would like a better copy or a refund.

BEWARE! Just found out that this is an on demand reprint and not an original. NO WHERE in the description does it indicate this! I would not have purchased it if I knew it was a reprint.

Brilliant trip back in time to the days of my youth! Bought the PDF, but when will this be available as a print on demand? I want it up there on my bookshelf with the other books in this series! :)

My POD copy arrived today, six weeks earlier than promised and in beautiful condition. Great job, DriveThruRPG!

This is truly the world's greatest roleplaying game. Going from 5e to 1e has been life changing.

The quality of POD is pretty astounding. Apart from from not having the original cover this really feels like an actual Monster Manual from the good ole days. I didn't even choose the deluxe version.

The book is good print quality, however would have been 5* if maps and others were pull out like the original
