Mine arrived on Friday.

Initial impressions: most of the changes are minor and welcome (Humakti geasa and so on). Tiny bits of old material are re-published (mostly snippets from CoP - I enjoyed this as it means that Wind Lords are back and so forth).

Diappointment potential: some games in play will either need to tweak their characters or live with quirky local variants of cults. (Personally, I don't have a problem here).

Best bits: ... Heler, Rigsdal ... hard to say without digesting the material.

Worst bits: t first glance some of the hero (sub)cults seem a bit weak.

Overall (initial) assessment: probably the best book so far (just beating Thunder Rebels).

Timing is a god-send as the second session of new campaign is this week. I may revise my judgements once I've used the material in anger.

Thom
