[QUOTE="Holy Bovine, post: 5301102, member: 203"] Not that the hold/wield/draw conversation isn't [i]fascinating[/i] but does anyone have any actual opinions on the contents of the setting itself? I just got my copy and have been plugging through it on breaks and on the bus ride to work and I have actually been enjoying reading it. The last RPG book I like reading this much was the 3E Draconomicron (that thing was a work of art). Even the sections that are predominantly power writeups (themes, paragon paths etc) have some interesting background on how to use them and how they mesh with the setting itself. They really seem to have figured out the atmosphere for Dark Sun and ran with it. THe sidebars on adding things like Divine classes or extinct races are welcome as they highlight how and why Dark Sun is different. I'm about 1/2 way through now and I do wish there had been more on the city states. Tyr is about right at 10 pages but the rest only get 2-3. I would have loved to see every city state get the Tyr treatment but the maps are excellent. [/QUOTE]
