★☆☆☆☆
Looking past the racist wokism, it fails
Despite this book being racist, by choosing authors based on skin color, and despite the cultural appropriation warning wokeism that literally flies in the face of running and playing an RPG and the book's content itself, this book fails at what an adventure anthology should be able to do. Because each adventure explores a different culture, dropping them into the flow of a campaign requires either your campaign to be in the correct place in your campaign at the right level to run the aligned cultural equivalency, or requires the GM to essentially reskin the adventures completely thereby defeating the whole purpose and uniqueness. The best way to run this maybe to run it as the Radiant Citadel presented in the book, but that also defeats the pros of having an anthology. I will probably run some of these adventures, but only as an outline not as written. The likelihood of my players being in the correct culture at the correct level would take all agency away from players.
