If I have the KoK boxed set......

[Drew_Bear]

....from several years back, can I get away with just purchasing the Players Guide? Should I bother getting the KoK campaign book?

Maybe this post won't result in a flame skirmish.

Yes

The Kalamar campaign book is virtually 99.99% d20 free, so if you've already got the box don't bother.

Excellent. Thank you very much.

Yes and no.

They added some detail to the maps. Mostly some more cities and some things in the key. They also almost doubled the word count. IIRC, David Kenzer has said that most of that went into details for the various cities.

Depending on how much you want the above, it may or may not be worth it.

Hey all,

What Gubaru said is correct. The new core book has everything (just about) that was in the old box set, but it also has much more. Detail to the cities was added, new city descriptions, and more descriptive text. The map is also more detailed and a slightly better quality.

You definitely don't need the new core book to use the Player's Guide, but you will be missing out on some more detail.
