[QUOTE="teitan, post: 263413, member: 3457"] I got the Silver Marches on Monday, been waiting for it for a long time. It is really excellent, surprisingly so. I was always bored by setting books because they were dry as in text book dry, but this one ranks up there with anything WHite Wolf did for flavor text in WOD or Scarred Lands. Just good, good stuff here. I just started a SM campaign and this book will be invaluable to me and my book. My PCs are even getting copies to help keep the fluff in the Realms. The price is better than past books have been. Have the execs realized that the price of Realms books is part of what hurts the sales of those books? I would not be upset if it went B&W again to save on production costs and some good high quality art can be executed in B&W, heck, look at Mike Mignola, he could do DnD books and make a killing. Wayne Reynolds is also just amazing in B&W. Color should be in the hardbacks and B&W in the Paperbacks. I think a happy medium can be maintained to a limited degree. You need fluff or the crunch becomes boring. A lot of the class books had some really nice Greyhawk Fluff, but then again they also seemed lacking in fluff for me. The PrCes made no sense to me in any context as to how they could fit in my campaign setting or where the hey they even fit in Greyhawk. Defenders of the Faith and Sword and Fist had some nice Greyhawk fluff, but not enough to get me into a Greyhawk campaing. I switched to FR because of the fluff. It makes or breaks a setting. Fluff is just crucial to make a world exist. Fluff is the ingredients that make the cake and crunch is the icing that sets the fluff in motion. These idiotic Hasbro mandates are part of why I started checking out the Scarred Lands, just a nice price on all the books and very high quality stuff. SOme rules gaffs, but those are not even a hassle to fix at all. Just good setting material for me. Unique and virant world. Dark Sun meets Greyhawk would be a good comparison.
