This may be great, but I can hardly see myself adding yet another magic system to my game.  This book may be great, but I just cannot process everything.  As a GM, there is already so much information that I have to process that I feel as if I am on the verge of drowning and that does not even count the Complete, Race, Monster, or Environment books.  It is just too much!The adventures and the locals sound good.  Those are directly useful to me even if just to pull ploy ideas or encounters.However, I would be far more interested in seeing a book on how to adapt the various races to a desert setting and what cultures they may embrace in that type of environ than yet more new races, classes, feats, magics etc.</blockquote>
