I routinely buy stuff there (especially food) so it isn't like they are losing out on any business!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  But I can't wait to get this book.I wasn't really impressed with the dragonfire adept ... but then again I do admit to growing tired of adding new base classes.  The fact that there was only one in this book was actually perfect.  One new class is cool.  And it doesn't appear to be any more powerful than a warlock or dragon shaman, so I'm cool with it.I agree with everyone else that it is a grab-bag of pieces that can be implemented.  In this respect, it kinda reminded me of Uneathed Arcana in that UA presents multiple options that can be implemented apart from the rest of the book.  That I thought was actually very awesome about the book.  I hope to see more of this from WotC before 4e comes out and I stop buying gaming material!I did think the book was a bit on the short side, but I also feel like if it was a total crunch book it would've been the right number of pages.  As more fluff gets added, I like the pages to increase because fluff takes so much longer to explain than chrunch.  If the page count stays the same, I feel shorted on a fluf book than a crunch book.  Since this book contains a fair amount of both, it didn't bother me too badly.All in all, I'd give it a 4 out of 5 based on my first read.  Definately useful - and easily implemented without changing how a world works.  If it would've had another 40 pages of fluff or so, I'd feel I could give it a 4.5 out of 5 or maybe even a 5 out of 5.I'll be buying this one, happily.</blockquote>
