"Legendary Lairs: Unearthly Lairs: As a fervent homebrewer, I recommend pairing this book with the previously released Legendary Lairs: Elemental Lairs to double the possibilities. Other MageGate products such as the Extreme Encounters series will give you even more options to craft a thematic and deadly masterpiece. As a further third party recommendation,..." Read more

"Legendary Lairs - Elemental Lairs: If you find that your 'boss' fights run out of steam fast because of the action economy, then this is the book for you. Its guidelines on giving monsters lair actions and recharge actions keep your party on their toes and, frankly, just make combats more interesting."

"Legendary Lairs: Elemental Lairs: This book allows you to go beyond the standard encounters a DnD session usually has and sets you up to create a custom crafted monster lair or themed dungeon where you won't just be fighting the monsters and traps, but the terrain itself. It is a book that helps fill a dungeon/lair with atmosphere that does not just look the..." Read more

"Legendary Lairs: Unearthly Lairs: Interesting, meaty book for GMs seeking to bring darker locations like haunted ruins and swamps to life. Older or more experienced GMs will appreciate the many options, but it might be overwhelming for younger/newer GMs. Regardless, it should give them plenty of ideas and inspiration."

"Legendary Lairs: Elemental Lairs: Good plug-and-play book for intermediate to experienced GMs. Lots to chew on. Would have liked more minions and magic items, but the ones it does have are cool and give me a lot of ideas to make my own."

"Legendary Lairs: Unearthly Lairs: The author says ‘You’re not just getting ideas—you’re getting a framework you can rely on every session’ This is exactly right. So is it repeatable in the sense of repetitive? No. There are so many ideas and such great original flavor in each realm, lairs will never feel like more-of-the-same."

"Legendary Lairs: Elemental Lairs: ...An absolute masterclass in mechanical depth for 5e boss encounters. The "crunch" is exactly what I look for... If you want to elevate your climactic boss fights from simple skirmishes to epic, memorable showdowns, this is an essential addition to your DM toolkit."
