The Palladium Book of Weapons and Castles
Review by Ralf Schemmann on rpg.net.
.
I got this book for my 15th birthday, and I deem it a quality gift for anyone whos interested on history, castle structures or simply wishes to admire some old school illustrations.
It's pretty short but that does not make it any less great. Firstly you'll be met with a fairly extensive explanation on missile weapons, all in a very easily digestible way, and after a few pages
pass onto the castles section. With information on arrow slit shapes, layout types, evolution, fortification techniques, real life examples, the importance of location and how sieges are
executed, this book is a beyond wonderful gate into starting the journey into the world of castles and more.
