Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hussar" data-source="post: 5111503" data-attributes="member: 22779">SL was a victim of the d20 bubble.  When they switched to 3.5, SL went into tailspin and was discontinued.  At least, that's what I took from reading the situation surrounding the end of things.On the original question:This book is hit and miss really.  The cartography in it is abysmal.  As in pretty much unusable and there are some points that I found very jarring - hugely anachronistic ship depicitions (one ship actually includes gunports!) - for example.Now, the bit on the piceans was fantastic.  Very interesting take on things.  And the "pirate island" in the middle of the Blood Sea was well done too except for the fact that it wouldn't work as written since it's also stated that trade lines go around the Blood Sea, not through it, making the island too far from sea lanes to actually work.I'd give the book about 2.5 out of 5 in all honesty.  Some great ideas, but desperately in need of an editor or someone higher above to have made sure that the elements in the book ACTUALLY work.Kinda like Shelzar IMO.  I'm still not sure how a city cut off from the rest of the continent by slaver pirate nations on one side and Calastia on the other survives as a trade hub, but, hey, it's fantasy.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
