[QUOTE="Rockrattled, post: 2008181, member: 12958"] I might be jaded by the products Sword and Sorcery has been putting out, but I like their stuff. Ghelspad is no different. I like that their map and their book format. It reminds me of one other classic setting... It was a quick and straight forward read, with a few subtle twists along the way to peak anyone's interest. I read it thinking how I could set up a campaign there? Where would I base my characters? The center of the continent is the most dangerous huh? Could my characters resist? It lends itself to DM's filling in the details, and answering those unanswered questions. Which brings me to the other aspects of this product... Details are painted with a fairly large brush. I'm not saying that it lacks detail or completeness, its a new setting afterall, and that may be a plus rather than a short coming. Some of the ideas are a little too goofy for me? Blood sea? Inferno gulf? Yeah yeah, neat idea but way WAY over the top. There are some ideas that make it a little difficult to get used to, Good Necromancers? An entire nation of Hollow Knights? Hmmm... It also hints at another continent located somewhere south of Ghelspad, Termana. I really hope S&S doesn't start throwing more and more world products at us just because they can. This one's big enough. But let me stop the nit picking. Good product. Good map. Good campaign format. Different gaming world, but similar in all the right ways. [/QUOTE]
