[QUOTE="Stormborn, post: 2936721, member: 14041"] Be prepared for some extremes of emotion, some people are zealous in their support of all things Monte Cook others (largely in reaction I think, but also with some legitimate concerns) are just as negative. Given that this is ENworld, hopefully it wont come to anything serious. Having said that, I don't consider myself a rabid Malhavok fan, but I did preorder the book and am really enjoying the previews I have been getting through the pdfs (free to those who preordered) and the Player's Guide. I have also been following the Ptolus material off an on sinceI first started playing 3rd Ed. This is a setting that makes me actually want to run a game in the setting. I love Eberron and had fun playing in it, but when it came to running a game I wasn't that interested. Other settings are things I like to read about, Iron Kingdoms for example, but am not that interested in actually playing it. For me this book is equal parts game accesory, entertianment, proffesional reserach and collectible. Since I don't have it yet I can't say 100% one way or the other, but I doubt I will be disappointed. For the average gamer I would recomend picking up the player's guide, reading the free stuff on monte's site, and then deciding. However, if you never plan on running a game (not just playing but running) set in Ptolus I doubt you will find it worth the money. [/QUOTE]
