Just mentioning this stuff so people who don’t know the early material aren’t surprised if they get the black box and don’t see some of the above in it. The black box, as others have said, is bare bones: domain descriptions are more of a starting point for the GM to flesh out (personally I prefer having that space to make things). Domains of Dread is more complete. After that you have the d20 books from S&S, which I am not a huge fan of but people certainly like (I just often didn’t agree with the directions they went with the details as I had already been elaborating on the setting material myself). The core presented in the S&S version is quite different in a lot of respects too (I believe they officially make distance extremely malleable but I could be misremembering), etc. starting with domains of dread you have more info and options for native characters. And explanations of languages, religions, etc  are clarified a lot as the line goes on</p></blockquote><p></p>
