[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 7987241, member: 18"] This would be great, if the budget wasn't quite so clearly creating a problem. Reading Border Kingdoms, you can really feel the whole "Well, we can afford Ed to write this, and the other guy to edit/organise it, but we can't afford the kind of layout, maps, and detail an official product would have". It's a real pity that stuff that you could do in the 1980s appears to be unaffordable now. I don't think your "not useful as a gaming product" argument really holds up (to be fair, you do seem to admit it is unsupported opinion, rather than some kind of fact). I've used a lot of campaign settings over the years as "gaming products", and yes, some were indeed nigh-useless, but 2E's FRA and 3E's FRCS are good examples of ones that definitely were not. Indeed, SCAG is worse "as a gaming product" than either of those, I'd suggest. [/QUOTE]
