I've been waiting for heavy 3.5 discounts because I'm still running a game and thought that now'd be a great time to finally get some books I was never psyched enough about to pay full price - such as most of the Complete series, and perhaps those Monster Manuals I'm missing.
Hi everybody. Back in 2003 my wife and I wrote a d20 3e book called Toolbox for AEG. It even won a silver ENnie. It's not 3.5, but most of the book is edition-free stuff anyway. Many people still honor us by mentioning it on their list of favorite books.
I have one right here. We even signed it. The first person to respond to this thread and provide me their mailing info will receive this print edition book for free. Yep, free everything. I'll even sport the shipping cost.

Preferably this is for folks who never got a chance to pick it up, so if you already have a copy you may want to let someone who doesn't chime in!
Good gaming!

Absolutely LOVE this book. Mine is dog-eared and falling apart from so much use. I use it mostly in my Wilderlands of High Fantasy games for the great wilderness encounters, road types, formations etc.
Love the credit tables too!!
Would love another copy!

Tools & tips you can apply immediately to your D&D game! Encounters inspired by the movies, suggestions to speed up your game and reduce bookkeeping, and more!

Entertaining for sure! I've really wanted to start a new game up and pretty much wing everything using this book, Mother of All Encounter/Treasure Tables and some good 'ole fashioned imagination...THAT'S entertainment!!

Free?
What the hell are you playing at, Jeff?
We all know nothing is free. And like a cheap date, you give it up to the first e-mailer?
Well. I'm going to one, and then two-up you, Jeff. I'm going to give away two copies for free to the person who can explain the best reason why he deserves two free copies of this ENnie-award winning book that I helped author (compile, edit, fix, and repair… ahem).
So.
Start your sob stories, kids. I want to know why your GM/DM/SWF/BFF deserves two copies of this book.

Didn't know it was you. Thanks for writing an awesome book!

Why? Because I already have a copy and can't recommend it highly enough to my fellow gamers. So, because I can't recommend it highly enough, the only solution is to give them the two free copies and let them see for themselves how awesome the book truly is.
One copy I would give to my buddy reinbowarrior because he just TPKed his campaign last night with a tendriculous and is clearly in need of fresh inspiration.
The other I would give to my buddy Jade77. He built our custom gaming table, so I figured I'd return the favour by giving him a book full of gaming tables

The only reason I need two more copies is because I have 3 kids who are all gamers, so when I can afford to do so I get 3 copies of each exceptional D&D related product. I don't do it nearly often enough, I only have 3 copies of Necromancer games products, such as Rappan Athuk:Reloaded, City of Brass, and Wilderlands. I have 3 copies of everything Castle Zagyg related done by Gary Gygax via TLG. Plus Green Ronins "Book of the Righteous".
This is because I expect them to be life time gamers like I have been and wish to give them these things as inheritance. So the more copies I have of each worthy product the less agonizing I will have to do when I pass them on to my kids.
So if I were to win the two copies your offering I would have 3 copies and one less item to agonize over when I decide which kid gets which.

*sigh*. See, no good deed goes unpunished, and all that.
Folks: Thanks for your kind words so far, it is so cool to hear gamers still using this tome in their games.
All I know is Dawn and I still crack a copy open now and then just to muse, for so many old-school easter eggs we snuck in there and stuff from our own campaigns that it always brings back good memories.
Sob story: I'm going to try and sell my house this spring, my dog is dead, and my son said I can't go to his birthday party.
I enjoyed the AEG books I've got (Dragons, Mercenaries, WotAL Master Codex, WotAL Campaign, Adventure I) and I keep being tempted by the other d20 AEG things like the other one-word titles, Rokugan, Swashbuckling Adventures, WLD, WLC, etc.).
I'd even be happy with a pdf copy so no shipping costs for you.
Edit to add in below the reason for the second copy:
My brother runs weekly face to face 4e games and only has a pdf copy of the 1e DMG for his random RPG elements tables. A big at the table book would be great for everything but the d20 NPC stats. I'm the one who ends up needing d20 NPC stats for the 3e games I run. Even with a half dozen NPC books I still manage to come up with situations in game where I need more stats than I have.
Good point. I never said when I'd mail them. Fine. A decision by week's end on the best reason… both so far are really good, too… although, I need money to buy games from other people is not as salient an answer as I'm dying of d20-itis and toolbox is the only cure... and no, you can't use that one now.

I got a fever! And the only cure is...
More Toolbox!!!

I picked up two copies of this (one for me and a game room copy) at GenCon a few years back and it is very useful for the busy GM and/or player who just doesn't have a lot of time to plan out a game session.
I haven't noticed any difference from using it for a 3rd or 3.5 edition game, it's all good.
The last page has some fun crunchy bits I dare say.
