Late to the party... (I only check in like once every other month or so), but happy I still got this at a deal [emoji7]
I like this format a lot, more detailed than a regional sourcebook, and yet enough background and context to make the gaming experience rich and varied. I also like that it's not too scripted, giving GM's and PC's the freedom to express themselves.
I like the new "GM Narration Text" segments, not that I would ever read them out directly to the PC's (I find GM narration artificial). However, I think it adds a lot of flavor and helps me as a GM to better explain the setting to the PC's.
If I did not own basically everything ever published on Shadow World, I would likely miss the context of some things in this module. What kind of a realm is Rhakhaan, who are the priests Arnak, the white Mage, the Loremasters etc. There is enough there to start the players off, but I know as a GM, I would like to know more.
So highly recommended for those that are familiar with Shadow World. And for those that aren't, I would recommend to buy the Master Atlas and the Powers of Light and Dark modules. A shame that Haalkitaine isn't available (as this would provide further context). Net, more content like this will be appreciated by us Shadow World fans. Thanks Terry! [emoji3][emoji3][emoji3]
