I’m seeing mixed reactions to the artwork, and while I fondly remember the original AD&D art, I really like the alternative vibe I’m getting with the chosen artwork here. I thought that was rather clever. It would be a good challenge for somebody with enough time on their hands to design a setting which would capture this tone.

Having said that, this book presents information in one place, in coherent chapters, so there’s no need to reference two books on a single topic, as it’s the case with the original AD&D.

I like it, because I was looking for an excuse to revisit AD&D 2nd edition, which has been 80%+ of my D&D journey. It’s compact and tidy, which means that some (sometimes crucial) explanations are either short or missing, and I have to reference the original rule books for clarification or confirmation.
