First off, thank you for your overview. Considering there was so little information about this, I was waiting for an early bird to pass on their impressions before snagging it.

Many of the complaints that you read about Fortune & Glory revolve around the fact that adventures are 'too random' for their locations. While I do not necessarily agree with that, I had hoped that the Sands of Cairo supplement would go far in nixing that complaint for people. After all - if it were a success, Flying Frog could create a bunch of these types of location-centric supplements to flesh out the game; jungles, mountains, etc.

But I am not too sure if this, as described, really does address that complaint.

While the gear, enemy, and common item fits nicely, I do wish they had figured out a way to better tie the desert theme in to the Dangers/Cliffhangers.
