It's 20 years on since there has been new material so it'll likely feel quite different form what most players are used to despite being the setting of the best selling D&D product (red box) of all time. There are piles of monsters totally unique to the world while also being completely absent of so many monsters that are now seen as iconic.2. The cultures are easy to describe even if they don't often make geographical sense. I've just started a campaign and the material makes it really easy for the DM to focus less on the mechanical bits of the characters and more on the characters' backgrounds.My new campaign:Karameikan living in Threshold - half native Traladaran and half conquering ThyatianGnome from Hillforge about 25 miles SE of Threshold.Minrothad Guild Water Elf who is a member of the Tutorial Guild - School of Magical ArtifactsEthengarian (not-Mongols) from the Kaerut clan in the Ethengar KhanateAtruaghin (not-native Americans) from the Bear ClanExtremely religious Ylari (not Arab) from the Emirate of Alasiyan - half native Alasiyan and half ThyatianEthengarian from the Principalities of Glantri. This creates interesting dynamics with the other Ethengarian.The characters are more defined by where they are from and how they grew up than what class they are.3. It's a setting made for a DM as much as for the players. Many of the comments I've seen online from people DMing the setting are from people who just really love it and I assume that comes through for the players.</blockquote>
