We have not seen much detail from the Gazateers, but each one has about 10 low prep Adventures with a map to create a low detail...

Well put yeah that is what it comes down to. Re changes, I don't think any removal or class/race/spell/etc change has caused me to stop...

If they can turn Baldurs Gate into an Ankh-Morpork/Lankhmar vibe I will genuinely be impressed. If they can also handle Calimshan well...
