Well the rest of the books arrived today. This is one heck of a mess of books. It's going to take me over a year to read all this, longer if I keep up with my other rpg reading, which I pretty much have to in order to run my campaigns.
I'm very interested in the Slacerians, they are an extremely cool idea. I also like the Charduni a great deal, as well as the Forsaken Elves. I read the review on Enworld for Lost Tribes and was a bit dissapointed. The writer indicated that S&SS decided to forgoe much of the fluff for a crunch book. What I am so enjoying about this game world is the vivid colorful descriptions of the lands and peoples of the game world and its rich history. I purchased the Tribes book off of Amazon and it has yet to reach me, but now I wonder if I didn't make a mistake. How important is Creature Collection III to this setting?
