This is the book that I have been eagerly awaiting since the release of 2d20 CONAN, and it does not disappoint. There are several new options for character creation which will help you achieve the Northern flavor for your PCs and NPCs. Also there is much more information here for Nordheim and Hyperborea than was previously published through Mongoose. While there is very good information for Cimmeria as well, I did not mention it in the comparison as Mongoose did have a dedicated sourcebook for that kingdom.
I was very pleased to see some direction given for generating Nordheim villages and even nomadic villages for the far north. My review is rather Nordheim heavy as that was my chief interest in the book.
The quality output from Modiphius continues to be outstanding. Someday I hope to have a dedicated shelf for all of these volumes in print.
