This is a collection of planners and guides for setting up game settings, mostly for fantasy but there are some aimed at SF, Wild West, etc.
( Planners and guides )
This probably isn't something I need personally, I've been designing game worlds for many years and have my own systems for doing it, but there is some interesting material in the Guide Collection that could be handy - for example, Cooking With Class has info on the food technology and foodstuffs available in different periods, which is well worth a look if you're planning to send adventurers off into the wilderness with limited supplies. I'm not convinced that I would have necessarily gone looking for it if it hadn't been in this offer, since there are lots of other sources such as the SCA, but getting it all in one book is useful.
Overall my feeling on this one is that it's probably not worth getting all of it unless you're really struggling to develop a setting - I'd be more inclined to pick and choose one or two items that interest me.
