[QUOTE="Ed Cha, post: 1172730, member: 10972"] I'm glad you enjoyed the book and I'm especially happy to hear that you will be using the shaman and witch classes. A lot of the reviews seem to think these were unnecessary, but I find them quite necessary when I design adventures. I think they are well-designed and I haven't heard any particularly negative comments about them. "World of Whitethorn 1A: The Hamlet of Thumble" is an extraordinary value, I have to say. If you just use the supplementary rules section, it's worth the $14.99, in my opinion. The Hamlet of Thumble is really 96 pages worth of material packed into a 72-page format, so even if you don't use the adventure setting or alternatively, you don't need the supplementary rules, GM Tips, etc, you're still getting half of the material (the equivalent of 48 pages, in reality) for a great price. "World of Whitethorn 1B: The Village of Oester" has at least 100% more adventure and 50% more art. Everything has improved: the art, layout, editing, and mechanics. There is less supplementary rule information in The Village of Oester than The Hamlet of Thumble, but you'll still find an Abyssal Knight template, 2 new monsters, 6 new magic items, and more. Also, there is a town and a village that you can re-use. Each has its own map outlining dozens of shops and other important locations. Thanks for picking up the book and I look forward to hearing your comments on the next one! [/QUOTE]
