I've pointed out several 4E era books that I've enjoyed, including the Dark Sun Campaign Setting. I also loved the Gamma World releases. The difference is that we have a lukewarm quasi-setting book of a rather vanilla setting that I don't find very inspiring. This is my opinion, and it's not "stupid" or wrong anymore than your opinion that NWCS is good is wrong. Perhaps I'm just not a FR fan and it's taken NWCS's release to make me realize that.There are not gazillions of maps of the areas described in the NWCS. Or if there were, the authors should refer the reader to those sources ... which are more than likely Out of Print, unavailable for online purchase, and for different editions of the game. Since this product is intended for newer DMs, the authors should assume that the DM doesn't have access to "gazillions of maps." In fact, the new DM angle makes it all the more important to set up encounters, maps, and to lay out story arcs.I do expect to have a significant amount of work done for me for a $40 retail purchase. I would rather have 10 locations filled out in vivid detail with interesting plots and characters than the 100 or so in NWCS. Instead of trying to cover 100s of miles, the authors should have narrowed in even more to do about 25 miles. Detail small ruins, an enemy keep, a few small villages, etc. That would be a much more valuable resource to me.And Kzach, if you feel the need to respond to me again, attempt to be more respectful. Making broad assumptions about my tastes, telling me that I should find a different game to play, and calling my ideas "stupid" is the sort of rudeness that I won't tolerate. I have a daily power left, and I'm not afraid to use it. <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=";)" /></blockquote>
