The d20 rules design is nicely done, and the range of spells and items chosen to convert gives a strong sense of the Dying Earth as well as rich flavour for any campaign. May I say that I'm constantly impressed by the faithfulness and detail of the Dying Earth RPG in bringing Jack Vance's setting to life? The Primer is a worthy addition to this body of work.The Codicilliary is an important fix and expansion to two of the neatest and most flavourful parts of the Primer, vat creatures and Arch-Magicians, that raises this work from merely a good-quality spells and magic items book to a strong sourcebook leading into this remarkable setting. They're also two important topics for anyone campaigning in Jack Vance's Lyonesse, which is a setting that I'd really like to see.edit: I had a chuckle at the requirement for the would-be Arch-Magician to gate in to the plane of the chugs (Lawful Neutral) and then the plane of sandestins (Chaotic Neutral).Any chance of a dual-stat release of Ascolais and the Land of the Falling Wall ? The adventures and material in this sourcebook are well suited to the More Blood Less Drollery campaign model and thus to d20, and Ed Greenwood's article was an eye-opener for me to how the fickle and murderous folk of the Dying Earth could interact with other campaign worlds.</blockquote>
