Cry Havoc: An Event Book by Skip Williams
4.0
Great gaming source book for what could/would happen to a fantasy world at war.
All the little things that at first glance aren't obvious in things like the LotR massive battles. What happens to the local economy? How does the local populous react? How does the populous several cities behind the lines react; do they gossip about it constantly? Are adventurers able to buy swords, or have all blacksmiths been conscripted to make arms for the war? Will the adventurers (Mercenaries) risk getting conscripted?
Loads of awesome plot ideas, and campaign suggestions. Highly recommend. The abstract mass combat system i've seen done better (in my opinion/methods) in another book, hence one less star.
