I’m just starting to play in the Ptolus adventure setting. I sort of like the place as it isn’t too overrun with technology like Ebberon. Firearms are available and there are comments about something called “Chaositech” but no cheesy Golems-as-robots for PCs or magical urban transit systems.

Has anybody here had any experience with this setting? I’m looking for opinions and ideas for playing. BUT: No info on adventures in the big book! My DM is running stuff from that and I don’t want any insider info!
