    Spooks (aka MI-5) on DVD: Region Question

    Having caught some of an A&E marathon of the BBC show "Spooks" (also called "MI-5") yesterday, I was fairly impressed with the quality of the show. (Seeing a bunch of adventure hooks for a Spycraft campaign didn't hurt either...) Anyway, this morning, I started looking to see if the show was...

    Scarred Lands: No gnomes?

    I believe the Termana hardcover is due out by the end of the year. I'm sure Nightfall will drop in soon with a more specific date. Even though I haven't bought the Ghelspad hardcover yet (I own both the Ghelspad and Termana Gazetteers), I'm really looking forward to the Termana book...

    (Mongoose) New Power Classes?

    I was hoping to put such a class into my campaign too, perhaps by tweaking the Hunter core class in AEG's Mercenaries. I'd even considered combining the bounty hunter and assassin concepts into a single core class (i.e., good characters could be bounty hunters but not assassins; neutral and...

    Opinions on Penumbra Fantasy Bestiary?

    Sorry to be late in thanking everyone for their comments. This thread had fallen to the second page with only a couple of responses, so I thought I'd let it "die." Suddenly today I find it on the third page with several more comments I hadn't seen...things move fast around here! Anyway, I...

    (Mongoose) New Power Classes?

    There's a core class called the Animal Lord introduced in Fantasy Flight's Sorcery & Steam book, but I don't think it's quite what you're looking. The Animal Lord is a character that has been "raised by wolves" (or some other animal) and gradually gains certain abilities related to that animal...

    Opinions on Penumbra Fantasy Bestiary?

    Anyone have this book? I'm considering picking it up, but I would probably have to do it "sight unseen" from Amazon, and $44.95 is a hefty bit of change for a book you haven't seen! I've looked at the preview creatures on the Atlas Games site and generally liked what I saw, but I haven't had...

    Favorite non-WotC publishers

    The following order is subject to changes on a whim: 1) AEG (Spycraft alone would give it the top spot, but some of their "one word" books are good too, particularly Wilds and Mercenaries) 2) Malhavoc (for Arcana Unearthed and the Books of Eldritch/Hallowed Might) 3) Fantasy Flight (for...

    (Mongoose) New Power Classes?

    To Mongoose Matt (or anyone else who happens to know): Are there any new Power Class books in the works? If so, are they close enough to fruition that you could reveal a few details? I know the last "batch" of classes just came out a couple of months ago, but I'm anxious for any word on new...

    "So, what exactly is this D&D thing?"

    I sometimes have success "breaking the ice" by using the Choose Your Own Adventure analogy. "Remember those books you had as a kid where you were given choices and had to turn to another page to find out what happened? Well, it's sort of like that, only you're in an imaginary world where you...

    The Perfect DMs Screen

    If I'm not mistaken, there's going to be a DM's screen for Monte Cook's "Arcana Unearthed" that uses the "long and low" principle you describe. Not sure of the exact dimensions, but it seems like a good idea to me too.

    Race sourcebook compilation

    Not sure exactly why they're both doing an elf book, but apparently Bow & Blade will appear in late summer or early fall. Someone asked about the two elf books on the Green Ronin boards and got this response: "The books will sufficiently different content-wise and seperated in time by at least...

    What is your favorite monster?

    Since my campaign experience (in 3E and previous incarnations) is pretty much limited to low character levels, I'll have to go with gnolls, lizardfolk, and kobolds as my personal favorites. Most really nasty monsters fall into my "Hope I Can Use That Someday" category.

    Race sourcebook compilation

    Perhaps you're not intending to include slightly less common and/or subraces, but you might add: Plot & Poison (drow book from Green Ronin) Fury in the Wastelands: The Orcs of Tellene (orc book from Kenzer) Strength and Honor: The Mighty Hobgoblins of Tellene (hobgoblin book from Kenzer...

    Which of the following WotC "options" have you used in your campaign?

    None yet. I plan to use Savage Species eventually, and that's the only one of the three books I own. Doubt I'll even buy the other two in the near future.

    [Mongoose] Encyclopaedias

    Thanks for both the list and what I assume was a "not quite fast enough" list! Now I just have to find the cash to start buying them all. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll get much help in that regard... :D
