[QUOTE="eryndel, post: 1091664, member: 13120"] I'd agree with you, Psion... Scarred Lands material slipped in quality over the last year. R&R II was both better and much much worse then the original. Though I think Calastia was a shining star, Shelzar was unimaginative and Penumbral Pentagon just wasn't useful. I think it's one of the reasons why S&SS didn't have as strong of a presence in the Ennies this year. Hornsaw was an admirable book and I have yet to see Blood Bayou. But I think things are picking up this quarter. From what I've seen of the Player's Guides these things are excellent with an all-star cast. Bruce Baugh, Ethan Skemp, C.A. Suliemen, James Malizewski, and others that are slipping my mind right now. SLCS: Termana looks to be an amazing book that might just surpass Ghelspad. Now, I'm admittedly biased. These few months will be debuting my work for the Scarred Lands. But it's let me see the emerging line-up and I think things are looking up for the Scarred Lands. And the trend is, while keeping details of the setting, to increase general utility of the books as well. Of what is out, I think the Player's Guide show that philosophy best of all. All of the above have the usual IMO, YMMV disclaimers. Werner Hager [/QUOTE]
