I believe this product should be pulled from publication! Because it is terrible? No! But because it is incomplete! It was never finished! Nor was it ever edited! Any one who tells you it was is a liar! Just one of inumerable examples: pg 33, under Two Handed Swords. A generally confusing description of special bonuses becomes altogether incomprehensible when it devolves into "The only difference is that bonuses of a magical two-handed sword to do improve its armor class as they do with a shield."
True, the artwork is less than flattering, but that is forgivable.
Much of the material is useful, but it is incomplete. The sandwiching of the old UA & OA & a tease of Arthurian mythos into one abbreviated volume does this work no favors. It just creates an incoherent mess.
Expand the UA section with spell lists & descriptions, magic items, & other equipment. Optional Player Character racial templates are always a nice plus as well.
Seperate the OA based material from this, & continue streamlining it, developing it, & developing it &... developing it. The two works deserve to be their own individual supplements! Period!
The same holds true for the idea sketch for the Arthurian style campaign. It is a good direction, but the reader is completely slighted by the brevity of it's treatment. This deserves a supplement all it's own. Period!
All in all, there is good stuff here, & good beginnings of great things, but please send this back to the author, demand that it be edited properly, & most of all, demand that it be finished!
Until it is finished i would not recommend this supplement to any one! Period!
