[QUOTE="Shemeska, post: 3448846, member: 11697"] I'll note that I already have the book on pre-order from Amazon. The previews that just went up are just gravy on top. :) The mention of baron and marquis cambions was nice, and I like the artwork for the Cambion as well. Rule-of-Three being an actual son of Grazzt is a change, or a lie, or maybe neither (*counting to three*) but I can't say I'm opposed to it. He's a fun character. The Oculus demon is pretty nifty, and the artwork (again) is really nice. The pair of jackal lords are a nice use of a rarely used, but cool nonetheless, monster. The in-text inserted, in-character quotations of the style from some of the Planescape books are a little gem. Alluvius Ruskin saying bad things about cambions. That's amusing coming from Old 'Lu, pitiless magic eating Incantifer that she is. This looks very very good. The only thing I can really complain about, and I'm assuming it was something done by the editors/developers rather than the authors, was that the city-stats for Sigil are a direct copy/paste from the Planar Handbook, which unfortunately means that we've got a repeat of the "LN" wonkiness from that book trying to assign an alignment to the Lady of Pain. After the flood of complaints a few years ago about both the attempt to give her an alignment, and the alignment they tried to give, I would have expected them to omit that section with a blank, or a question mark, or something.
