[QUOTE="jolt, post: 8745223, member: 18142"] I like the three book format fine, but I agree that 64 pages doesn't justify an hard cover; especially in this era of paper shortages. I would have been happy with softcover if it's going to sit in a slipcase most of the time anyway. I've never liked the 'time doesn't flow in the Astral' bit. Why would anyone travel from one world to another if you can just stay in the Astral and never age (though apparently kids still grow up somehow)? It seems to me that any wizard worth his salt would go to the Astral at first chance and never leave. Why become a lich when you can just go to the Astral? I realize there's more to being a lich than just not aging but it sets up time shenanigans that I just don't care for (though I admit that's just personal taste). Not enough content. It feels like a notch above a Starter Set, but two notches below what I expect from a "setting" book or box. [/QUOTE]
