Quote from: Settembrini;475347We are offended, because they do not even give enough of a fuck to apologize in any coherent way. They are disrespecting us. That is why we are mad, and this is especially what AM diagnosed. He was right.

Sett, you don't count, you're always mad.  

(Back on topic).

I dropped by a gaming store on my way home, and went through this book briefly.


Chapter 1 - Generic info about running a campaign in Neverwinter.  Nothing too specific.  (ie.  Typical "intro" chapter).

Chapter 2 - New crunch, which didn't really interest me much.  (ie. Bladesinger, cleric domains, etc ...).  On a fast skim, the bladesinger looks sort of like a 4E Essentials-ized version of the original Heinsoo 4E "swordmage".

The Neverwinter themes look somewhat more generic than the themes in the 4E Dark Sun books.

Chapter 3 - Groups and factions.  Rather generic, with some guidelines about how to build up the composition of such organizations.  I've seen d20 glut era books on groups/factions which read better than this.

Chapter 4 - Generic gazetteer of Neverwinter and nearby areas.  Mostly basic information.  Very little crunch for the most part.  (Then again, the original Pathfinder Golarion Campaign Setting book wasn't much different in spirit).


Overall, I'm definitely taking a pass on this.  Not a particularly useful book, if one is not interested in playing a Bladesinger or using the other crunch (ie. cleric domains, themes, etc ...).  Maybe if I ever see this book in the bargain bin for less than $10 or $15, perhaps I'll pick it up as an "impulse buy".  Otherwise it's not particularly impressive to be a "must buy" for me.
