Dreams of the First Age

IE what my original A/C dreamed since it was that old. But it's replaced so hopefully the electrical bill will be significantly lower this year. We shall see.

Dreams of the First Age did indeed finally come out last week and I have been perusing it much since then. Overall I'm impressed by the quality. The mechanics seem pretty good although admittedly the crunch assessment is not my strong point. Stuff is powerful so it's hard for me to gauge.

Setting wise it's quite interesting. Favorite setting point I've run into so far is that there is a Primordial still on the loose during the 1st Age and there seem to be no indication that it's been dealt with up to the current time in the setting.

Haven't gotten far in the Meru guide either but it's well put together. The map is nice too but the places are a bit hard to read and I'd have loved it to be bigger.

Overall worth the purchase and the wait!
