This book a nostalgia trip, and and an excellently done one. It is a love letter to the roots of tabletop RPGs, a reflection on how things were, and a rekindling of that spirit. Anyone looking to have some fun playing in a style that is very different from the games of the 21st century would do well with this book.
The book flows like a story. It starts with an explanation of the state of the game, the attitude you should approach it if you want to have fun, then the standard races/classes section, a brief section on equipment, combat, spells, and then a very condensed section for game masters (there is a lot of it in a very short area). The book itself has good art, with a style harkening back to the late 1970s. The monster manual section is well appropriated with variety and plenty of enemies for players to contend with (and die to). The only criticism I can fairly level at the book is organisation, it feels like the sections run together, and a little more separation could help....

This is my first time writing a review, so my English isn't that great and I apologize for any grammatical mistakes.
This was my first time using the D6 system and it was quite a new experience. In fact, whenever I try a new rulebook, I often find myself struggling to explain the rules to my friends. It's not our native language, so it's a natural problem. Anyway, I really enjoyed my experience with Winterhell.
It was quick to pick up, and I especially liked that it was full of playtips and stuff. The editing of the book was very good .
The mechanics of the rules are very, very simple, but there's a lot to dig into. Oh my gosh, the amount of detail kept a smile on my face the whole time I was looking at it.
If you're on the fence about buying it, I highly recommend it. I also purchased the physics book, which hasn't arrived yet, but I can't wait to get it on my shelf.
With love from Korea...

I had this box set as a kid, and remember loving reading it. - I am very pleased with the way this book has been put togheter, the quality of the print is very high and don't seem to have any issues that the PDF seems to have based on the discussion here.
Reading it now, I am not sure if the focus on this product was as good as say The North, or Spellbound, both of whom are amazing. The campaign book of Zhentil keep is more about a History of the Keep and it's current state, along with information the Zhentarim as a whole, magic items and some npcs. The second part of the book is an adventure, and some new monsters. This means that a destroyed city gets about as writing about it as Waterdeep does in City of Splendors box set.
Is it worth the money? Ohyes, it's a solid print and great for anyone interested in the history of Zhentil Keep or the Zhentarim, but it is not the best Box Set in 2ed.
