First, don't be disapointed yet; the book is still being written so it always has a chance to grow and evolve.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  What I wrote last night was simply a quick and very vague overview. Yes, the book will be based on an Earth-like environment for simplicity and for comparison purposes, though I have been toying with the idea of including notes on having whole worlds with these climatic conditions. We'll see.As to what it does and does not include, remember I only have so much space to write. However, even with the little map visual I suggested in my last post, I am including elements from the Amazon environ/culture as well. I am including the Andes territory, mostly in the form of the Inca culture, though they are the basis for when I talk about tropical mountain ranges. The other 3 regions you mention (Africa, Asia and Australia) I will be looking at for elements, but at this moment I don't have any plans to include them in depth. That could change, depending on my research.I will definitely be portraying the cultures, providing "fantasy" versions of them for inclusion in your campaigns. The whole shaman angle, however, is one that I am currently torn about. There seems to be such a sudden glut in the market on Shamans that I am loathe to create yet another. At this point, however, I am intending to create a shaman prestige class, and perhaps play some more with the adept class to portray the magical traditions of these cultures without getting into cleric/wizard/etc. I would love to hear what kind of new shamanistic rules you would like to see.Thanks, I will definitely keep this in mind.By the way, I am reposting this message on the Monkey God Forums so people who go there can participate in the conversation. I would invite you to actually continue this thread with me over there.
