I saw there's a 6-day sale on DriveThruRPG that includes some W20 books. So I would like to know whether WtA players think Shattered Dreams is worth the money.
I backed CB20 and was so upset by the low quality of the book that I became completely disenchanted with Werewolf in general for a long while. I made the mistake of paying for a book before knowing what was in it, and I wish I hadn't. So I want to ask if Shattered Dreams has similar problems? I mean things like Camazotz never existing in Africa for no explained reason, Mokole rewritten to be on a crusade to eradicate humanity Red Talon-style, writers mixing up the Auspices and Aspects of the Fera, etc.
How common are typos? How much does it contradict previous canon, or ignore real-world information about their animals? How respectfully are non-Western cultures written? How much of the book is copy-pasted from Revised or 2E books? Is the art good, decent, or terrible?
What about the hardcover POD edition, standard color: is the book sturdy or does it fall apart easily?
