BUY IT!
I mean this in the most fair and balanced way. Please bear with me. This isn't spam, just a passionate fan.
I began playing the card game Warlord: Saga of the Storm, when it first came out. I have played it casually ever since, and of all the CCGs I know, it is both the closest to D&D and the most fun. It is simple, straight forward, and relatively quick. I urge everyone to play or try it.
One thing that always attracted me to the game was the really cool backstory and neat setting. The Accordlands are one of the most interesting backgrounds I have seen, and there are tons of great characters I have grown to love over the years of the games existence.
And, finally, they have let loose a monster. Four mammoth books of campaign material for the setting. And it is fantastic. All of the cool background is well detailed, with tons of stuff to do. A whole book of adventures for an entire campaign, too.
So, I wrote this thread to urge everyone to take a look. If your FLGS has a copy of these books, take a peek. Even those who have never played in the setting should love these books. This is a great campaign, and I want to recommend it to anyone looking for a good setting to play in. Hell, even some of the ideas might be great for your game, like evil, necromanitc elves, halfbreeds who die before they are 10, a nation of anti-Paladins, etc.
Take this recommendation, and take a look you won't be disappointed.
P.S. I saw a "McArtor" in the addtional writing credits. A little more enticement.

I've come to understand they've listed me in all four books, when I think I only contributed to two. Or rather, when I was assigned wordage I was given two books to work on. Who knows where all those words ended up, though? (Well, I guess the editor does.)
I'm glad you enjoy them, Luke. I've been hoping for a long time they'd actually come out, but I've yet to have any chance to flip through them. :(
Well, you did good. There were a couple of AEG guys who worked on all four who were not listed in ANY of the books.
I don't know which aprt you did, but they are great.
These books seem awfully under the radar. But the Master Codex, Atlas and Bestiary are the BEST campaign setting books I've ever come across. Wasn't as crazy about the adventure campaign book, though.
An absolutely great source of material for GMs to mine.
A bundle of all four Accordlands books is now available. An absolutely fantastic collection. I'd put the Master Codex up against any third edition book.

Mike, did you ever go through these books? If so, what did you think? What they did with the elves; the storyline of the dwarves, the history of the land, the Storm: I just think this is a fantastic setting.
A short look at all four of these books is up over at Black Gate.
