*bump* of this topic, as I'd like to figure out if this 2nd printing is now commonly found at most FLGS's now or not. See, I've held off on upgrading to 3.5 before a hypothetical 2nd printing of the PHB appeared, and it looks like this has happened. No FLGS makes this a bit tricky, though. My...

I think Cradle Of Life was the title of the jungle-themed environment book that Monkey God was going to put out after Frost And Fur... too bad MG quit d20, a desert book would have been awesome.

School of Evocation, published as part of Fantasy Flight Games' Legends & Lairs series, was the second in what appeared to have the potential of being a full line covering all eight schools of magic. But no other School Of ___ books have appeared since this one came out in March 2003, which is...

I can tell it's got some creative templates, but does it also have straightforward concepts like adding wings or extra heads?

Hasn't Wizard already been revised for the better part of a year now? This ebay item displays the newer cover that all 3.5 Quintessentials books have: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=44112&item=5940933978&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

If I was really only interested in Savage Species for the templates, would this book pretty much cover all of those, and OGL no less? In other words, in addition to creative ideas does it also cover more familiar ground like adding wings and multiple heads?

As written, I haven't been really satisfied with the barbarian as a D&D class. Despite some class-specific features such as rage, the barbarian still feels too often to me like a branch of fighter, with a dash of ranger in the skill list. The class feels too generic in some places, yet...

Also be aware that the scale was small; illustrations in manuscripts are what you'll usually find in medieval art. In the Gothic era in Italy you'll get large frescoes on walls, but I don't think you'll find portable "oil on canvas" type paintings until the 15th century. Medieval sculpture...

Quintessential Fighter by Matthew Sprange was the very first in Mongoose's long-lived line of "Collector Series" books. Originally released in January 2002, I have the "Revised and Expanded" edition which was released a little over a year later. The only way to tell the revision from the...

9. Manual Of The Planes 11. Call of Cthulhu d20 19. Unearthed Arcana 22. Nyambe: African Adventures I budget my book buys carefully and I still refer to all of the above. The remaining top 20 that I could see myself picking up later would be LotN: Vampires, M&M, and a theoretical revised ToH...

Well, if tabletop is like theater and PBEM is like a novel, IRC/chatroom has a feel closer to the theater while the log ends up reading like a movie script in my experience. Descriptions of rooms and NPCs provided by the DM can be detailed if they're worked up ahead of time, but PCs tend to be...

That HD size progression caught my eye, because I was thinking of going with the WP/VP system from Star Wars in my next campaign... and it happens that from Medium-size on down, it coincides well with the idea in this thread of basing it on size: a base of 10 wound points virtually matches a...

Oriental Adventures has it, I believe the new Frostburn has a 3.5 version.

In the interest of full disclosure I will state up front that I received this product free. Familiars are a prime candidate for coverage by third-party d20 publishers, given that less than a dozen animals are available in the core rules, without much in the way of options for augmenting them...

In the interest of full disclosure I will state up front that I recieved this product free. With the real world offering so much culture and history to draw from to design RPG products, it's not surprising that d20 publishers would eventually look at "turning back the clock" from D&D's default...

Mongoose Publishing's The Quintessential Halfling reached the shelves in October 2003, entry #20 in the Collector Series line that has seems to have tapped out at 23 (print) versions to date. Halflings haven't seen as much coverage as dwarves and elves in d20 products; 2e gamers may recall that...

As it's been a while since Mongoose Publishing has completed its two-year march to devote at least one book to every single core race and class in 3e, I thought it might be useful to revisit one of the few that haven't had a review yet, The Quintessential Gnome. With WotC's Races of Stone just...

When the rumored title was Rise Of The Empire, I speculated that it could be asking for trouble to pick a title which will be abbreviated in internet discussions as ROTE. This one abbreviates to ROTS. Hmmmm.

What about the Monstrous Mien feature from the half-orc paragon in Unearthed Arcana? If the smooth talking of the rogue or bard can't get it done, a half-orc with this together with some Indimidate ranks could be very useful in an information-gathering kind of campaign.

What's happened to the Aylott book mentioned about a year ago, Commerce and Caravans?
