Ah, dont remember them, but I sincerely hope this book scratches your itch.

Any chance the book includes a "lens" for G:DF cleric template? :-) After all, all books must tie in to the G:DF line...

Technically there are no Lens in this book. It is usable by any profession that in the GM and players eyes would fit the concepts described and be willing to ally or serve a totem. Priests are unlikely to do so since they serve a deity, druids more likely since they serve nature. It does make a good option for a holy warrior type that serves a totem and most professions and there are totems include for most niches and professions.
It can also work with Monster Hunters, Crusaders already have some introduced in MH7: Holy Warriors and the last issue of Pyramid. Many more totems are possible and the book will help come up with new ones, or someone may further expand the list and in new directions/types.

Thank you :)
Designers Notes are up on my blog and at a certain point I intend to have some outtakes and notes focused on more of what could have been added but for space or play tester feedback.

FYI as of 7:15 PM CST still not on the New Releases page and if your a credited playtester dont worry about your comp copy. Pretty sure they have not gone out yet, if they did they forgot the author!
I guess TPTB wanted to see how many people read the W23 spec thread by tracking sales with no announcement :)
(Or those of us diligently hitting refresh on W23 each Thursday)
