Message: <blockquote data-quote="Darkness" data-source="post: 1439268" data-attributes="member: 13">If your PC party is in the West/Southwest even some of the time, definitely. It's very, very good. If your group spends all of its time hiking through the ice wastes of the North or the jungles of the East, the book will be of limited utility, however. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> (Note - the following assumes you are at least passingly familiar with which topics the book covers. If not, just say so and I'll try to explain. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />) Although transplanting An-Teng to somewhere else could work - and involving PCs in plots relating to the Lintha family can be done anywhere. (E.g., going to the West to retrieve something - or someone - the Lintha have stolen, helping an ex-Lintha on the run to evade his former compatriots, finding out that a local merchant is selling slaves to/buying stuff from the Lintha, and so on.) The book, the An-Teng chapter in particular, has a lot of small sidebars with suggested plot hooks for all kinds of characters (even Abyssals and heroic mortals). These are very, very good and many of them could be used in other locations without too many changes. Also, there's incredibly much potential for still more interesting plots in the main text of the entire book.  PS - The book doesn't have many new 'crunchy bits' (e.g., artifacts, hearthstones, charms, etc.) if that's important to you, though it has some stuff reprinted from Savage Seas (because SS is out of print) and some other sources.What it does have, though, is quite a few write-ups for Lintha family members (god-blooded warriors, good-blooded priests, dragon-blooded priests, several unique individuals) as well as some spirits, a lot of creatures of the southwest, and some weird giant-sized fair folk. The important gods of An-Teng are very interesting as well. Powerful, too (especially the Golden Lord, an important lieutenant of the Unconquered Sun). Oh, and there's also a powerful Lunar who's allied to the Lintha family.BTW, the Lintha god-blooded's charms are basically Essence 1-2 Solar charms with some added limitations in some cases. If that bothers you, the Player's Guide should offer good alternative options. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> (Personally, I don't really mind; the Lintha god-blooded have a different genetic background than other god-blooded anyway. They're more of a people than relatively random and unique occurrances like most other god-blooded probably are. I.e., their non-human progenitor was [spoiler]a Primordial, though their bloodline has been weakened over the millennia since the Solars defeated the Primordials. The Primordial in question, Kimberry, still lives on as a Yozi and is worshipped by the Lintha, though.[/spoiler])</blockquote>
