Review: Wraith Recon

Judging this game by it's cover Wrath Recon is somewhat of a mystery. Only a small graphic on the back informs you that it is compatible with 4th Edition Dungeons and Dragons. What it doesn't tell you is that Wraith Recon is a whole campaign setting combining the action of an army or special ops platoon with the high magical adventure of D&D.

What you won't find in this book:

There are no special classes, skills, or mechanics instead your given a rich and detailed campaign based around the Wraith Organization. Though the book presents a world to play in you could easily adapt Wraith Recon to any other gaming world. Special Purple Dragon Squads for Forgotten Realms, Aundairian Queens Guard Units for Eberon, even special Gondorian Hit Squads if you wanted.

What you will find:

Medieval Millitary Themed Gear, Special Magical Items, and lots of mission ideas. A ready resource for gamers looking to jump right into a campaign and one that gives the players a real reason to be adventuring together rather than the love of money, or some "quest" from a mad man in the corner.

If your looking for a way to spice up your 4th Edition or even Ideas for 3.5 or Patherfinder Wraith Recon is a suplement to any Sword and Sorcery Style Campaign.
