I'm sad that two of the five settings have been done to death at this point (Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale). That's a pure example of the marketing taking priority over new material -- I literally have two sources for each of those published in the past ten years but nothing on Thay for like 30 years. Moonshae's has also been done by excellent designers for Baldman Games and is available on the DM's Guild so I don't feel like that needs to be covered either. So that leaves two of five locations that are really new to me.As far as the book itself goes, I want a sourcebook packed with cool locations and adventure hooks I can use to build my own adventures and my own campaign. Eberron Rising from the Last War and Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica are both my reference level sourcebooks from WOTC so we'll see how these compare. I'm less interested in the player guide -- crunchy stuff just doesn't interest me as much. Same with monsters, frankly. I have thousands of monsters already and I end up building my own on the fly half the time anyway. I want lore. Tons and tons of lore. Table-usable lore. I'm hoping the 50(!) mini adventures they pack into this book act as table-usable lore. We'll see.</blockquote>
