[Scarred Lands] Anyone have Hornsaw yet?

Ruined

Explorer
Just noticed on the Sword & Sorcery page that Hornsaw: Forest of Blood is due out in stores this week. Has anyone gotten their paws on one yet? And more importantly, can you give us a breakdown of what's inside?

I'll be getting this regardless, but my characters are perilously near the dreaded forest, and I wanted to see if there's something juicy for me to use right now. :D

Even though I put out another post, I will say, you'll find some great stuff in Hornsaw that also relates to older products (from the serpentholds to Lady of Serpents to even people in the Wise and the Wicked.)

The book is broken down into four chapters, an appendix and of course an introduction.

Chapter 1: deals with the history of the Hornsaw. You get perspectives of the fall of Mormo, the massive changes to the Broadreach elves, wood dwarves and of course the Blood Crone and Glivid Autel.

Chapter 2, deals with the geography, various regions as well as natural dangers, the ecology of the wood (including plants, animals, and monsters) along with some other places of import (such as the Tollbearer that works with Glivid Autel in charging for shipping down the Broadreach River.)

Chapter 3 deals with the races in the forest (Broadreach elves and wood dwarves) plus the various powers/faction in the wood.

Chapter 4 deals with the *crunch*/meat such as prestige classes and new true rituals. (Other goodies are sprinkled around the book here and there.)

Chapter 5 deals with adventures in the Hornsaw (there's really one DETAILED adventure dealing with the witchspiders, but some other ideas are nice too.) Also are the random encounter charts for the various parts of the Hornsaw (both in general and specific such as the Border wood.)

Appendix deals with monsters such as the witch spiders and hag templates among others. Almost forgot there is something called a Blood Maw...but no picture of it is seen. I'm guessing it's pretty horrible. :)

Ruined,

Let me know what you think. I'm certaintly glad to have this in my collection but others thoughts are nice to hear from too.
 


Only two but they're REALLY good ones IMHO.

Hornsaw Sentinel. If you like hornsaw blades (made from the hornsaw unicorn horns), then you'll like this dual wielding, riding with Hornsaw Unicorn type.

Lillendeli Archer (basically they shoot good. REALLY good. So good infact their ranged attacks have their own BAB.)
