I shall have to disagree with this assessment. IMO, along with KotGDs,
TotHW were the two best BR products put out (I would include BoP, but
the topics it covers are just so important to the game, that one supp
just doesn't do them justice - oh where, oh where is the Book of
Regency ...).

First, the cover art was worth the price I paid, alone. That one
picture *so perfectly* summed up the Vos culture to me, that I literally
screamed out "YES!" when I first saw the supp in the store.

Secondly, I liked that there were two separate books. Now I can give
something to my greedy PCs to salivate over without fear of their beady
little eyes scanning the really important stuff. I really hate that
players have the same access to material they shouldn't have (without
buying the supp outright, which I can't stop them). And besides, that's
exactly what they did in the original boxed set (having two separate
books), so in fact CoS, RH, and HotGB were the oddities.

The warcards not being perforated was a downer, but what the heck -
that's what they make those cutter boards for, no?!?

Lastly, while I, too, think all the supps are a little skimpy on details
(NO ROADS - NO TRs LISTED - NO CASTLE INFO - WHERE ARE THE REGENT'S
CHILDREN LISTED - ETC.), and while I for one would like to see 1000
pages on every entry, I like the it also leaves room for a little leeway
for me to do things. Besides, half of Vos really IS faceless
wilderness, so where did Mr. Ed go wrong .... ?!?

:D

Now - Shadow World supps - thats whats really lacking in BR ....

Cheers,
Darren (My two GBs)
