| Probably the tiniest RPG book I own! |
Gregor's Guide to Gates is a tiny hardback book produced by Philip Reed. It's 64-pages long, and is an OSR compatible mini-sourcebook on portals. Produced as an experiment, the project had some troubles due to a poor quality print run which led to reformating and a change of punter. Philip Reed lost money on the project, but brought it to completion. If you like the idea of what it covers, then please consider picking up the PDF. Initial issues aside, the format and feel of the book is delightful. Interior pages are 3- colour; blue, black and white, with evocative art by Dean Spencer.
Each page describes a portal to another world, with what you may find on the other side. They really serve as inspiration for your own game; I doubt you'd necessarily use them exactly as written. But that's half the fun!
There's a huge variety between the portals as described. The book rounds out with a d66 table that describes extra-planar strangers who you may find exiting a portal or perhaps on the other side.
It's a fun mini-supplement in a delightful format, with little snippets of entertainment. Recommended.
