This is an excellent update to the Deep Magic – Ley Lines book, as well as the core ley lines content in the Midgard world book. I really appreciate the under hood style discussion of the mechanics and permutations. There is some reprinted content, but it’s all been reworked to fit with the updates. There’s actually more new content than recycled. For a moderate-sized page count, these guys pack a lot of info and options into the book (smallish typefaces FTW?). I can’t recommend this book enough.

This compilation of the Ley Line articles that have been featured on the Kobold Press blog for the last couple of years is really quite excellent. The updates to those playtest mechanics have been great to see and the amount of information presented makes the Geomancer arcane tradition (and those new subclasses presented here) much more compelling to play.
My one gripe is that the book is formatted to basically turn the articles that were presented on the blog into chapters rather than reorganizing everything to be a cohesive whole. This mainly applies to the PC options, which are scattered throughout the book rather than pulled together in one place.
Great purchase overall.
