I just got a chance to read Wilderlands finally. Amazing!

I had to look it up. Out of print for decades?
I see that "The City-State of the Invincible Overlord" was set there. I owned that back in the day, but gave it away with everything else when I "quit" RPGs around 1990. Oops.

Yeah, I had to borrow a copy myself.

Tracked it down.
Holy hell it's a lot of...words. It may be a great setting for Shadowdark campaigns, but it's not the same presentation.
Back in the 80's I would stay up late reading stuff like this, but now I really appreciate terse, zero-prep format. Maybe a campaign setting can't be zero-prep in the way a short adventure can, but I'd really love to see something other than long form prose.

Quick Shadowdark Question looking online it looks like it has a very small number of priest spells. Is that correct?

It has a very small list of spells in general, relatively speaking, so yes.

If you are looking at the free version that was released before the book came out, then the list is even shorter.
There are 30 Priest spells, total: 6 each for Tiers 1-5. (Wizards get twice as many, and can learn more, too, but they are weaker in terms of hp/armor/weapons.)

I got into RPGs by reading dense stuff like this, and I still prefer it.
