Forked Thread: 3.5 Discounts (FREE TOOLBOX)

[Voadam]

In all seriousness, everyone should write to me off list with their address and screenname so I can ship them some nice books.

Yes. Even if you're in Canada and/or previously contacted me.

Congratulations to all the special winners.

Thanks I feel special now , email sent.

I bought toolbox a good long time ago...

I guess that means I used to be special.

That's subjective.



Okay. Everyone's SPECIAL packages (did I say that?) are going out by the end of this week. And I expect lots of fun posts when you get them… I'm looking at you Sigurd.

Next week, I will announce another round of DIFFERENT prizes and Jeff will post yet another FREE pdf from the book.

In the meantime, I'm dying to do a crunchy chart. Something better than pirate boobies, so start throwing out ideas and jeff and I will knock them out of the park.

And if you're not reading my blog, I've updated some stories about my D&D game. Last night I made a 100-name list of random NPCs for Haranshire (farmers and the like) as well as a diverse set of Mercs who are also in the valley, completed rolled up using the ORIGINAL toolbox.

I'm not just a client… I'm also a… no wait… I screwed that up.

jim,
With all of the problems that the the site has had over the past few days and not having used the send email function, I just want to verify that you received my info off list.

And, thanks again!

P.S. Will AEG be at the February con in L.A.?

Yeah. I sent it out, Greg.

And I will be there at the con, but AEG will not.

Should I bring some Tomb to the con? Or maybe a copy of the UT to tease you with.

They can be addicting, can't they? The only ones we didn't do from UT were how to cook a wyvern or how to dispose of a mummy.

You ARE running Night Below, that's super. I ran that entire campaign a while back and everyone had a blast. And that Toolbox, yeah, folks say that's pretty useful. Oh yeah.

Careful, Jeff. I think your old man, selective memory forgets how many times jim rushed in and fixed your charts... ahem. Got my name on the cover this time, pal... so no more screwing me out of credit... haha.

In all seriousness, I have the UT, but I'm still one of those people that needs the book in HAND for it to be useful... so once I have that, your old toolbox will help prop up my desk.

As for the night below, I've written extensively on my blog about this, but in short... I consider it one of the better 2nd edition adventures ever written. I purchased it by accident some 15 years ago and gave it to me Mike Leader to run for us. Mike made extensive changes to the above ground portion of the campaign, which led to us playing on the surface for over six months before venturing below and I still recall that campaign with fondness. I found a used copy on ebay for $6 (missing a couple pages) and later the PDF fort $5 on paizo (which isn't nearly as good because it predates real PDFing). And now I'm three sessions into the game for three people who have never heard of it.

Sadly, I did not recall just how poorly organized that first book is. And now I'm going through and doing hours and hours of work to "repair" the nonsense.

Anyway. This isn't the night below thread. This is the TOOLBOX thread. Let's make some charts.

I'll have to let you know. My friend, who was putting up for the room (I was supplying transportation as my share and, thus, saving him cab or towncar fare round trip) informed me that he might have to cancel the room.

However, if I go, definitely! I would love to see UT and, if you want to run a demo of Tomb, I would be game to try it (and, normally, I am not a board game person).

Wouldn't dare. Besides I know full well the times I managed to talk you out of that 'ways to crucify gnomes' chart you wanted to try. I think the cover name fully show the teamwork that went into ensuring Ultimate Toolbox lived up to its name.

Yeah, but like all GMs you secretly relish some of that work don't you?

Anyway. This isn't the night below thread. This is the TOOLBOX thread. Let's make some charts.
