I'm sure there's going to be other hooks from other parts of Faerun in this book as well; the Sword Coast is certainly not isolated.This mini-setting idea might be good or bad, depending. I was thinking the other day about the number of settings people want to see, and with the current rate of releases, it will be decades before something is published for everything. Breaking the settings down into smaller parts increases that time frame exponentially. Most likely, however, we're just not going to see something published from every setting. Which is probably a good thing.I do like the focus on one piece of the setting, however. It makes it easier to use for newer DMs. With a book about the whole of Faerun, you still have some work to do to figure out where the campaign will start and where it will go. Narrowing the focus like this makes that a little easier. Hopefully it will have maps within it that easily allow a sandbox style campaign to happen.Actually... wasn't there mention when one of the surveys was completed that a majority of people wanted to see sand box style content? I wonder if this product has anything to do with that.(As an aside, love to see that Green Ronin is involved. they've quickly become one of my favorite publishers in the new wave of RPG content)</blockquote>
