| Dreadmire was unique in that it was the first D20 book to place an entire campaign in a swamp setting. It also contained nearly 220,000 words, more than any other D20 System book as of its printing date. With 264 monsters, 124 spells, 136 magic items, 49 weapons, 18 classes, 19 deities, 37 factions, 47 mysteries, and 266 illustrations, Dreadmire had more content than any other 224-page Dungeons & Dragons book ever published up to that point. | | Dreadmire was unique in that it was the first D20 book to place an entire campaign in a swamp setting.
