This series has really impressed me, on the whole. At first glance I questioned paying $2 for a single new race, but this is not just a pile of stats and feats. Each race in the series gives you 15-20 pages of information, ranging from background, to relations, to land and language, to game stats... it's all here. The depth is impressive without being overbearing.
The Jhardwyn in particular are complicated as a player race, but not from a GM standpoint (provided the GM's world view includes the existence of other planes). Their integration should be pretty seamless, since they no longer have a home of any kind to put on a map, and they aren't in major conflict with anyone but their own lives (you'll have to buy it for that explanation).<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: The depth, both in terms of background and game mechanics, was outstanding. This race is easily adaptable and well fleshed-out. The format was very clean, logical, and easy to read.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: There were a number of typos and gramatical problems (the kinds of things that spellcheck won't see). Nothing major beyond that though.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>
