The pdf copies of the Land of Fate are fantastic and are almost as good as having a book in your hand. I only say almost as I am an avid bookworm and nothing quite beats the feel of paper beneath your fingertips. This document however is a damn close second, as it will never stain, fade or tear and keeps pristine all the wonderful magic that is the Land of Fate. The best part of this document is that the majority of the information held within can be applied to 3rd, 3.5, 4th, and 5th edition games as most of the information is setting and flavor based. The rules present are simple enough that a quick scan through some of your update rules tomes will find the equivalents already present in one form or another.
This is a wonderful and unique setting to throw your adventurers into... a living breathing realm inspired by the Arabian Nights tales and mythos. Some of it may come off as a bit outdated in its mindset, but it is recreating the setting and the time period those tales took place in. Remember the old Ray Harryhausen Sinbad movies? Thats this setting, thats this style, and thats the grand adventures that await you in Zakhara. Al-Qadim was the first real campaign setting I ever played in and it remains to this day my favorite.
