I've not read it myself (I'm hoping to one day get to finally play it...),
but I've heard nothing but good from the list and reviews if that helps.

It's a pretty darn complete town and story all in a single book. The more I
read it, the more potential I see. However, be warned, the factions there
are pretty tough and every one has an agenda of its own. The posse could
quickly find itself in deep (outhouse) water if it's used to dealing with
NPCs heavy-handedly.

My personal opinion is that it makes a great occasional stop for players. I
don't know that I'd set a whole campaign thereabouts, but it's neat enough
to warrant a visit or two. In fact, two of the adventures we're kicking out
for DL this year do involve at least a brief visit to the town...

Well, it's getting the final touches applied before going to the printer. I
can't say for certain how long that will take, but I'd feel safe in saying
it should be hitting stores by Origins and possibly sooner (Lord willing and
the creek don't rise). I plan to pester the guys at the office frequently to
make sure. :-)

Glad to have you back and look for me for sure!

I think Allan's trying to cook one up again.
