[QUOTE="teitan, post: 971522, member: 3457"] There is a reason the relaunch in 98 failed. To put it simply, reliance on out of print and pricey materials. The relaunch books failed to give you ANY details on the deities of the setting outside of the list they provide and a few scant passages on Iuz. Don't get me wrong, the books were well written aside from this and other smaller problems, like references to the PHBR series as if all readers possessed these books. I will say this about the relaunch material though, it was all pretty good outside of the problems. The adventures were fun and the writing was great when not referencing older OOP books. I didn't get the Scarlet Brotherhood book, but would loved to have gotten it, I just quit in disgust at how unfriendly the material was to people who didn't have at least From the Ashes. Now that we have the 3E versions of the gods and stuff, the 98 material is very nice with some minor conversions. Jason [/QUOTE]
