Thanks and I hope the content meets your expectations since we try to appear (both image and content) as professional as possible being a small company with a tiny budget.
As for the bestiaries - they are in the works. I am proofing and putting together the first 4th Edition adventure for the setting, Three Days Until Dawn, as I post. I am half-done with the next bestiary, Morrigan - a ghoulish mother and controller of fates, often accompanied by crows or wolves. Occasionally, you might find a badb along side her - a living human child raised by the morrigan on ghoulish milk and flesh.
Before I get into my actual post, I just wanted to say that this is **THE COOLEST IDEA EVER!!!** A ghoulish mother raising human children on ghoul milk??!! I MEAN COME ON! THAT'S FREAKIN' AWESOME! (And nasty bad scary!!) I look forward to this!
Now, on with my post.
I just picked up the Campaign Setting, the Noble Class (wanted those power cards!) and the Vampire Adventure. (Haven't looked at the adventure yet, but loved the concept so had to buy!)
I really like the campaign so far, and it seems well done. I'm still reading the book, but off the start I noticed a few "smallish" things that might be considered if ever doing an "update".
Fist off, the introduction needs to be expanded in my opinion as in the first 3 chapters (as far as I have gotten so far), there are mention/references to things, places/events, etc. that have not yet been introduced or discussed. I found myself wondering "What the heck is that?" It sounds cool, so I'm hoping to find out later in the book. IMO, an introduction to the history of the world might have been well placed somewhere in the Introduction, previewing some "campaign specifc" items before getting into the crunch.
In a similar fashion, the races and classes section (which I *vastly* prefer to the format presented in the actual Core Books) seems to lack consistency. There is no "quid-pro-quo" saying that unless mentioned, all classes/races are as presented in the core rules. I read the fluff of the races like a starving tarrasque, but then found myself looking for the "crunch". A bit of a jolt to my crusty middle-aged gamer system.
Other than these small nit pickies though, I must say this product is fantastic! The art is amazaing! I really love the cover, and personally would have prefered to see that style carry through the book. The fonts are schaweet, and add to the medievel feel.
The Noble and Possessed (the later of which I expected to be a rip off of Warhammer's Chaos Spawn - SO glad I was wrong!) are fantastic! The paragon paths of Guildmaster, Feudal Lord etc are amazingly well done!
Being an avid Birthright fanatic, I fully expect to devour this book (and all future releases in the series) with a voracious appetite! The hints you've mentioned of things to come only encourage me to hope even more that I might yet see a "proxie" system and alternate campaign world for my sorley lamented Birthright Campaign.
I will not hesitate to plug this book and the setting with every chance.
Egads, I sound like a fanboy...
