This is a milestone worth celebrating. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">New cultures will be covered in this book that have never been represented in D&D before. Not only this, but they'll be represented by people with actual connections to those cultures, instead of just white guys like those that made Oriental Adventures and Al-Qadim. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">A plane of existence that has historically not been that fleshed out (the Deep Ethereal) is getting an adventure hub, adding something to the plane that it previously didn't have.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">It's another adventure compilation that will be really useful for tables that don't want to commit to a full 5e adventure path, as well as for DMs that don't have the time/effort to create their own content. We have far more full adventure paths in D&D 5e than we have adventure compilations, which is worth getting excited for if you're a person that will benefit from this style of book. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">The monsters that they have previewed for the book (primarily the gem-animal-spirits) look awesome, and I can't wait to use them in my own games. </li> </ol>Again, this book might not be for you, but there are a ton of reasons why someone might be excited about it. Being excited about something you like is always more worthwhile than crapping on something else that someone else likes and wasn't necessarily made for you.</blockquote>
