As far as we know, no other CSIO publication has ever had access to these notes. This newly revealed source material has been integrated into our 5E and DCC conversions...."The product is adapted to DCC and 5E, as were some of the other entries in the same series.From the product page on Backerkit:"The City State of the Invincible Overlord is an epic collection of campaign resources for both 5E and DCC RPG. This massive boxed set contains a city’s worth of material including:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A complete Guide to the City State of the Invincible Overlord detailing an entire fantasy city containing nearly 400 locations, more than 500 NPCs, almost 200 rumors and legends, dozens of new magic and monsters, new game mechanics and more.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Wilderlands Gazetteer detailing nearly 100 surrounding towns and village, plus castles and citadels, and lurid lairs filled with monsters and treasure.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A Guide to Thunderhold, a dwarven citadel allied with the City State and adjacent to two massive dungeon complexes ripe for plunder.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Wraith Overlord, a sourcebook exploring the sewers, cellars, and other subterranean locales waiting to be explored beneath the city streets, plus a sinister threat to the City State in need of thwarting.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Haghill, a “home base” village suitable for beginning adventurers, including a starting adventure to get your campaign rolling.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A bevy of maps detailing the City State, the surrounding lands, and more.</li> </ul>Prepare for an incredible adventure!"And...<h2>"What's In The Box?</h2>This will be a massive boxed set with approximately 800 pages of adventure.
