Reception[]

Ken Rolston reviewed the Different Worlds Publications version of Village Book 1 in The Dragon #133.[2] Rolston commented that "[The] book contains the layouts of about 50 different villages, small towns, and castles, all drawn on hex sheets. There are no details for the functions or contents of the individual buildings, but it's nice to have the layouts when whipping up an adventure setting on short notice."[2]
