Player's Secrets of Medoere is a supplement to the 2nd edition of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game.

Contents

Player's Secrets of Medoere is a sourcebook for the Birthright campaign setting, part of the "Player's Secrets" line.[1] Each set in the series has a laminated cover that folds out to reveal color maps, city and castle plans and more. The text begins with an introduction from the in-character point of view of the domain's most important NPCs, outlining the current state of affairs for the PC who is about to take charge of the domain. This is followed by the history and geography of the domain, game statistics for important NPCs, and a series of adventuring ideas.[1]

Publication history

Reception

Cliff Ramshaw reviewed Player's Secrets of Medoere for Arcane magazine, rating it an 8 out of 10 overall.[1] He commented: "Clerics get a look in with Medoere, where the ruler should be of lawful-goodish alignment. The province awaits a champion; the ruler has a +5 Holy Avenger to give away. Some DM intervention is called for."[1] Ramshaw comments on the series at a whole, that "these sourcebooks are a bit overpriced and some of the history behind the domains is hackneyed or tedious. But all the sourcebooks help you to create believable worlds, with enough conflicting agencies to create strong and imaginative plotlines for years to come."[1]
