[QUOTE="JoeGKushner, post: 149227, member: 1129"] [b]#23 Notes[/b] Well, just received my issue and here are a few notes. The two NPC classes, Constables and Watchman didn't really do anything for me. Perhaps it's because I keep remembering the uber Sentinel's with their various abilities, the perfect foils for assassins. I also generally don't seem to have as much use for NPC classes as I did in first editon. They will fill some nice roles in some of the smaller towns I use though. The map for Turil's Hollow Constabulary is something I"m a little torn on. On one hand, I think that the computer generated art looks cool. On the other, I generally prefer maps that are grid based and more useable for game play. (Perhaps one of the future things that can happen are some jpg files that grid the areas out. That'd be perfect for someone like... oh, SkeletonKey Games who does similiar material already to do.) The take on the goblins is something I'm not really going to be able to incorporate. I like the concept, good goblins with a different background and society information, but to me, goblins are slaves for the orcs and other strong races! Ride those squigs damn you! Ride! For Faces in theCrowrd, the urban villains are a good mix. I like the fact that the stats are seperate from the background material. I'm wondering if Nicole, a bully for the most part, wouldn't have been better off with a level or two of fighter, or even Thug from T&T I. First off, let me state that while I'm no huge fan of Dan Smith, the fact that a well known artist does work for Scrollworks is great. The art here is better then in some professional D20 companies. (you know who you are!) The Deities of Kalendia, the Fiery Dragon setting, really made me happy. Ever since NeMoren's Vault, I've been using that as a default setting with some minor gods here and there and it's great to see some 'real' info. Couped with FD's website and tidbits they let slip out there, some real detail is coming along nicely. Well, that's my two cents. Glad I subscribed and hope that the quality continues.
