I'm torn about this product. The art is excellent, quite imaginative and sure to spark great ideas. The downside is that the word "fantasy" in the title does not necessarily is used to mean"medieval, D&D-type" fantasy, but more like "fantastic". The majority of the headquarters illustrated have a strong pulp/sci-fi feel to them (think Buck Rogers or Flash Gordon and you're on the right track) with a few being usable for traditional fantasy. Personally I think the product should be renamed to "Fantastic Headquarters" to avoid the confusion, which seems to be the main complaint against the product. This said, for $3.00, it is a great collection of art for the amateur publisher or DM, and is sure to spark some interesting ideas, especially if you are playing (or intend to play) some pulp-y sci-fi type of game.
