Once I get a print copy, I'll do a review video on it. But what did you want to know? It's a smaller supplement, only 24 pages long, but I think pretty useful for anyone running a Silk Road campaign (or a fantasy campaign in a setting with a silk-road style Arabian/Indian/Chinese type area).
Very nice just bought it.

Just a brief sample of the kinds of encounters it mentions?

So the book starts out with a process DMs can use for daily travel, to determine what tables to roll on depending on if they're on the road, in a city, at a settlement, or if they're off-road in the wilderness.
Next there's a list of random tables for wilderland regions, with tables covering every major geographical wilderness region along the Silk Road.
Then you get three pages on the Eastern Dragon, including stats for young and adult Eastern Dragons, and lengthy details about the folklore, behaviors, and abilities.
Then there's elaboration on Wilderland-Specific encounters (it does not reproduce special encounters you can find on the road, as that's already in Sword & Caravan). There's sections on Hermits, Random Objects, Random Persons, Random Ruins, Tribesmen and Weather events (those last three are reproduced from S&C, because they happen on both roads and wilderlands).
then you get rules for generating families for your PC (like Lion & Dragon has) but for native PCs (characters born in the Holy Land or the Silk Road). This includes a slightly different social class table, details on parents (accommodating the fact that both Islamic and Chinese based cultures allow for multiple wives), and rules on how inheritance works in Sharia (Islamic) tradition and in the Chinese (Confucian) tradition.
Then there's an optional "family secrets" table (so potential family-related plot hooks), and then optional inheritance tables for PCs who are of sufficiently high social rank (these tables are separated by culture; there's one for Crusader State characters, characters from Muslim lands, characters from Chinese-based cultures, and characters from steppe tribal cultures).
That's basically it.
So apparently, Wilderlands has cracked the top-30 new-release list on Amazon in the "D&D" category.

Thanks. That sounds pretty interesting.
It's crazy, it's just a sourcebook for Sword & Caravan, but it made it to like, #11 on the Amazon list.
