Sourcebook

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A sourcebook (or source book) is a publication intended to supplement the core materials of a gaming product. Sourcebooks are most commonly used to complement role-playing games and some tabletop or wargaming series, and often contain optional rules, scenarios, or other materials that players can use to extend or enhance the central game.

Popular gaming series with many sourcebooks include:

• BattleTech
• Dungeons and Dragons
• Shadowrun
