[QUOTE="Dungeoneer, post: 6324881, member: 91777"] That's a pity! I do remember hearing about that at one point and I was curious as to what they would do with that. At any rate I've finished Chapter 3, Cities and Courts. One of my complaints about the core book was that I didn't completely love the Dragon Empire, because it felt too unfinished. This chapter addressed many of those complaints by giving close-ups of some of the game's major cities: Axis, Drakkenhall, Horizon, Santa Cora and the Court of Stars. There is some really terrific art in Chapter 3. I can't wait to get my hands on the hardback to properly take it in. This chapter differs from settings chapters in other books because pretty much everything is optional. Very few things are stated as fact. Instead possibilities and scenarios are presented, often contradictory. Even the nature of an entire city is optional. The writers propose a couple of different spins you could put on places like Axis and Santa Cora. Drakkenhall is probably the most interesting location detailed. It's a city of monsters and it is ruled by one of the Blue Dragon, one of the unholy Three, so it's not your typical imperial city. The description given is so loaded with story hooks that you'd have to be crazy NOT to set your next campaign there. Most of the locations come with lists of interesting characters and dark secrets. The major location also have write-ups for their associations with different icon rolls, positive and negative. For DMs who don't know what to do with a 5 negative for the Great Gold Wyrm these could provide some much-needed inspiration. I'm currently into Chapter 4, monsters. Some solid additions to the canon here, but nothing (yet) that is a game changer. Looking forward to the chapter on devils, though! [/QUOTE]
