[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 5190034, member: 54846"] I'm not sure how they'll compare. The writeup on the site talks about focusing on the various flora/fauna of the Jungle (diseases, plants, etc), nine jungle cities, and a focus on the BIG adventure sites (lost cities). I'm just hoping for little nuggets too. An example would be just the mention of smaller adventure sites, or even something as simple as "Here's a shrine to x, which looks like y". I enjoyed the sweeping things that the Pathfinder Campaign Setting gave the Mwangi. The few sentences about the Screaming Jungle (Screaming monkeys, filled with silent plant monsters) really gave me a great evocative fill with no real detail, so I had something to run with. I also cannibalize so many names from it. I'm curious what you mean by "High powered". It makes me think "High fantasy", but I'm not really seeing how that's [I]necessarily[/I] the case. At least, I don't know why things get more high powered as they drift further. Although I have an idea of what you might mean. In [I]River into Darkness[/I], there was essentially a steam boat. It was powered by some magical creature, but I didn't like it. Not because it was magitech, but 1) they didn't go into detail about it, and 2) it's something unique that popped up, but if this was in fact real, you'd think this technology (or magic or whatever) would be more widespread than one little boat in one little corner of the world. But it hadn't impacted the world, it's just tucked in there to get the PCs from point A to point B and require a sidequest. Jungles, and the type of feel that adventures have - that 1920s big game hunter/Indiana Jones tone/Things are lost and wild and the emphasis on exploration - I love it! That and Deserts are my favorite geographical settings. [/QUOTE]
