Whether you're wondering why you can't find any decenthousehold ROBOTS any more, trying to put the make on a good looking specimen of ALIENSwith FOREHEAD RIDGES, or wondering why you're suddenly being attacked by BATTLE CRUISERS -when you're 450 light years from the North Sea and the year is 2916, not 1916 - TheTough Guide to the Known Galaxy is your complete handbook for everything youneed to know. (And a good deal you never wanted to.)Don't leave Earth without it! These pages are, of course, a shamelessripoff of Diana Wynne Jones's The Tough Guide to Fantasyland.Oh, that soundsso crass. It is much nicer to say that they are a sincere tribute OMT to the original. Not only nicer, but every bit asaccurate. The real Tough Guide is not only hilarious, but as thoughtful acritical study of modern fantasy as you are going to find. (For more remarks on thebook and its implications, see my companion article, 'The Tough Guide toArchetypes,'. And for a couple of items thatMs. Wynne Jones unaccountably left out of the book, go.)For those not familiar with the book, find a copy and buy it. For others, a briefrefresher: The premise of the book is that fantasy quest trilogies are essentiallyTours of Fantasyland. Following an introduction, most of the book consists of'Toughpick:' thumbnail descriptions of the various attractions you'll see andexperiences you can expect to have in the course of your Tour. Capitalized wordsindicate cross-referenced items, and Official Management Terms - such as savoryfor edible stew, or blood your sword for 'skewer someone' - areitalized and marked by a little oval with OMT in it. (I can't fully reproduce this;hence OMT.)Obviously all of this cries out OMT to be done forscience fiction as well, and indeed Wynne Jones acknowledges the existence of an SF Tour. The hundred-odd Kbytes linked below just barely scratch the surface of what may beencountered in the course of this Tour.
Pollen is the only hint I will give about the Horses entry. For this image.The HORSES of Fantasyland also have one of the best entries, as do most of the ANIMALS and types of FOOD. However, I’ll have to make you read the book to find out!Finally, with the breakdowns of each type of character found in Fantasyland, it’s apparent the kinds of roles women have been forced into across the history of the genre. The sexist tropes are changing, thankfully, but they still run rampant.

For instance, the long entry on VIRGINS shows outright that male virgins are seemingly non-existent while young women shouldn’t be anything but.The only thing I’m walking away dissatisfied with is the lack of focus on aspects of fantasy subgenres, like urban fantasy. The Tough Guide is all about high fantasy that focuses on vast kingdoms, long lost royalty, and great quests.Still, The Tough Guide is beyond useful and I’m glad I read it.
