Jakandor, Isle of Destiny

Jakandor, Isle of Destiny is a role-playing game supplement published by TSR for the second edition of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons.

In Issue 115 of the French magazine Casus Belli, Serge Olivier was very pleased by this book, calling it "simply excellent."

Olivier was very impressed by the idea of detailing two species at war with each other, but presenting each from their own point of view, inviting players and gamemasters to explore either or both sides.

Although having taken as a starting idea a cliché of fantasy - the proud barbarians who do not like the degenerate necromancers who themselves can't stand muscular simpletons - the authors knew how to infuse enough originality in Jakandor to make it one of the best productions of TSR in recent years."

"[6] Writing in Backstab, Michaël Croitoriu liked this book, commenting "Where a few years ago TSR would have created yet another soporific campaign setting, Jakandor is a real elixir of youth, even a reserve of Viagra for the oldest among you."
