When your players are traveling through the wilderness from Point A to Point B, here's the key to making that journey as intriguing and exciting as possible!

As every GM knows, you can spend hours preparing an adventure, but rarely is any map filled in so completely that you can easily define what lies waiting in the wilds between where they are today and where they'd like to be tomorrow. That's where The Game Master's Book of Legendary Locations comes in.

Legendary Locations provides Game Masters with more than 150 fascinating sites, obstacles, legends and landscapes spread across eight environmental zones, designed to make every journey an unforgettable one. From poisonous swamps and bottomless wells to dragon skull temples and abandoned mines, each location includes a brief history, exotic lore, potential dangers to fight and treasures to be won, along with illustrations throughout. Larger entries include special Game Master notes and random encounter tables to ensure each incredible locale is as compelling as possible. Each environmental zone also includes a completely fleshed out lair, including monster stat blocks, a map and full page illustration.

In addition, Legendary Locations also includes dozens of roll tables for determining random encounters, eerie occurrences, natural hazards and more to ensure players are always experiencing something unique and unexpected.

It's a wellspring of inspiration and a fathomless resource for keeping players on their toes and ensuring that the journey is just as exciting as the destination.
