[QUOTE="Noah Kolman, post: 113714, member: 504"] Hey everyone, I think Mark and others have answered most of the questions already, so I won't repeat what's already been said. die_kluge, you have made a good suggestion, and I will pass it around to the appropriate people in the office. What I would like to add is one of the reasons the infamous line was included. I wrote the original text for the ad (though I don't remember if that was my line or was edited in later), and I had a different idea I was trying to get across. More than the fact that the player's guide was approved by KenzerCo and WoTC, I was trying to emphasize the style in which it was written. We kept the rules material in the players guide as generic as possible for the most part. Sure the feats, spells, prestige classes etc. all have Kalamar names, but our goal was to make the rules portions as independent as possible so that, like a d20 product, they could easily be transported to another game or campaign world. Some material will be harder to convert than others, especially the cleric related material that depends on the Kalamar specific deities, but we have provided a god conversion guide that should help you switch between Kalamar gods and FR and GH gods and vice versa. Our goal was to create a book that would appeal to Kalamar players by providing more background and player information, but would still have generic enough rule information to appeal to any D&D player who might want more "crunchy bits." I didn't mean to offend anyone with what I may or may not have written. I hope you accept my apologies, and will judge the book by its contents. [/QUOTE]
