I think you will be quite surprised at the variety and depth of this book.

As you all may know, the Mindflayer stats, etc may be OGL, but the term Illithid and the background created for them by TSR and later WOTC is not.

Given that, I tasked Mssrs. Kenson, Maliszewski and Parent with creating a fresh background for the Illeths (as they are called in Unveiled Masters) while keeping to the spirit of the mythos commonly known.

In my humble opinion, they succeeded beyond all my expectations.

I'll try and get a full contents run down in the next few days, but I truly feel the book is spectacular and will satisfy even the most ardent of 'Flayer fans.

One thing to keep in mind, however, is this Unveiled Masters is not the Player's Guide to Mindflayers. Like Lords of the Peaks, it is a GMs toolkit with loads of information on how to give depth and breadth to Mindflayers in your campaign, how to use them as an Uber-villain worthy of the most Epic of battles or at the very least, scare the bejeezus out of the most jaded of PCs with new Feats, Psionic abilities and PClasses specifically tailored for our favorite Tentacled Horrors. (The Violent Line - "Paladin-like" Mindflayers created by Jason Parent immediately springs to mind).

As a side note, you may also keep in mind that given the new influx of players into the RPG hobby, not everyone is lucky enough to own the excellent Monstrous Arcana Mindflayer book by TSR. I am lucky enough to own it and feel the two books compliment the material within rather than rehash it.

Best,
