[QUOTE="Acid_crash, post: 1872346, member: 16278"] After reading all this, I didn't intend to use the word 'fail' and get the reaction I did so for all SL lovers I do apologize if it upset you. That said, I hope that the Scarred Lands gets a major overhaul in the next year, called 2nd edition, and it gets a true setting book typed in the same font size and same page length as Eberron, because for Scarred Lands to be fully appreciated, that is exactly what it needs to bring new people into the fold. Hell, for 2nd edition, they should make a Scarred Lands Players Guide and a Scarred Lands Game Masters guide due to how much information there is for the world, along with conversion guide and guidelines on how to take the former books written and use them with the new edition. Print those two books and I think SL will succeed even more. SL was a setting that I wanted to like, I really did, but I couldn't because of the vast amount of resources getting all the books required just to understand the world. I mean, there was so much spread out over so many books I didn't know where to start. Plus, top that with how WW writes their books (larger font size means less words, plus large page borders cut into words printed) and it means I am getting less for my buck. And if Warcraft is getting a 2nd edition book (as for the latest White Wolf update magazine I got in my LGS), why not SL? [/QUOTE]
