This is a great product. Its a campaign world for D20 3.5 set in a not so far future on earth. Simply put, magic is back with a vengeance and as reclaimed most of the globe. Some humans have adapted and may now cast fireballs and flirt with elves. Other reject this new reality and have banded together in great cities called Bastion where they defend their technological way of life.

TECHAN (the tech guys) must be wary when the stroll outside their bastions. Spells, magic items and ECHAN (magic people) generate an EDF (Enchantment Disruption Field). This can jam or break tech it comes in contact with. The more advanced the more fragile.

I wont go into further details. All this was really well thought of and the background and fluff makes sense. This is an important point. This book is full of details and reminds me of the way White Wolf presents its product. Theirs a lot of background stories sprinkled in the book witch helps define and envision this great new campaign setting.

On the crunch side, several of the base class have been retooled. This is always done with taste and never goes overboard. The bard is gone and the Ranger and Paladin are now prestige class. 7th lvl spells and higher are now very rare and require a feat to learn. Necromancy will really corrupt you. Clerics who can actually use magic are rare. Most races have also been redone and again its all good. On the Techan side you have 8 base class to fulfill all your needs. They are all well done with interesting abilities that are well explained.

Rpgs are like movies, video games and music. We get a load of trash every year and about one or two really great products will surprise us. This is one of them. The great art will lure you in. The well constructed rules will make you stay and the FANTASTIC setting will make you come back for more again and again.

You will enjoy this.... thrust me.
