It is deadly out there.I don't know the best way to describe it. Several of the descriptions here are quite good.Let's see. Most settings have a beautiful face, you know the outline of the area, the politics, etc. Unfortunately, the skeleton is a bit hidden, you have to make up most of the villages, lairs, and monsters on the way. You might have a name, but little else.The Wilderlands and CSIO (City State of the Invincible Overlord) are very different. You could say that we give you the skeleton, you cover it with the skin you like. It is very much a DM tool. These products are specifically designed to be modified by the DM, and we try to create them in a way that gives the DM plenty of details for running things, but yet leaves all the "larger" details of the world to the DM. I like to think of it as handing you a toolbox to create whatever setting/campaign with that you want. A friend of mine has used the original CSIO as a city in an "Arabian" setting, as a "European" style city, and as something completely different from either one. In all honesty, even a beginning DM should find these products easy to modify to their own desires.The Revised CSIO is going to include all of the Dungeons presented in a CSIO "supplement" called "Wraith Overlord." So, not only do we give you a massive city, we also give you the sewers and dungeons beneath it. While we couldn't include absolutely everything from the original CSIO (some things will have to be downloads), we added Wraith overlord to it and made a huge product that can be used over and over again. I am incredibly biased, having worked on the Revised CSIO, but I think the Wilderlands Player's Guide, CSIO, and the Wilderlands Boxed Set are going to be absolutely astounding products. If the Player's Guide looks as good in print as it did in the proofs it is an absolutely fantastic book and everyone should go out right now and buy 10 copies. Hey, I do have to pump our stuff at least a little bit (now pre-order 20 copies of CSIO <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> ).Patrickedit: yeesh, I think I need to go to bed ...</blockquote>
