How about world-building info for the aspiring GM ? any of those in the book ?
The Man himself already covered this above. I'll just cite one example of world-building advices that does come to mind: advice on creating spell selections for clerics of specific sorts of gods.

Thanks again, Kyle! I'd definitely recommend giving that preview a look. The only things that keep me from being totally in love with this game -- as opposed to totally loving the craftsmanship that went into making it, which I do -- are those few issues I have with the mechanics that I mentioned. If they don't bother <u>you</u>, you're golden.
