None of my LGS's have gotten the Battlebox in yet. I was hoping they would have them by today, but they do not have it yet. I am getting frustrated since I was hoping to have one by this weekend and the battlebox came out in September. I was out of money by the time I discovered it at GenCon...

I don't suppose that release from another company might be Arcana Unearthed would it? ;) I can only hope. If it's not, please don't crush my hope.

That's cool; I am working on it now, though it will still take me a while.

I too am most excited by the idea of the stunt system, but I am also intrigued by the idea of a customizable construct PC race. Having conversion notes in the book for AU doesn't hurt either.

Wow, you like Lands of the Jade Oath? Cool; and here I thought no one over here on these boards liked it, but I guess word of mouth just really hasn't reached this far yet. I should tell you though that I think the recent stuff is much better than what you can find at those old links and I am...

I already got Dark Inheritance at GenCon - It's pretty good. Lands of the Jade Oath Arcana Evolved! Ruins of Intrigue (an adventure by Mike Mearls for Arcana Unearthed) Book of Iron Might (I can't wait for this - Mike Mearls described this at the Meet Malhavoc Press seminar at GenCon and it...

No, I can no longer bring myself to use just the PH and DMG for the creation of my characters. I have been gaming for well over 20 years now. For me, the vanilla core classes are old hat as I have played all the variations of those classes that I am interested in playing. To do that anymore...

You mean the ones entombed with the first emperor of China, right? How did they get all the way to Japan after being entombed and then back to China in time to be discovered last century? ;) Sorry, I couldn't quite bring myself to let that one pass.

Did anyone else remember the two headed monster symbol in the cave earlier in the series that those characters in the know took to mean the possibility of the prophesy of the two brothers, one good and one evil, who would fight each other? Everyone thought it meant Lex and Clark, but the symbol...

I'm surprised no one has mentioned "Fairie Tale" by Raymond E. Feist. Very good and horrifying account of the various fae, their queen, the wyld hunt, changelings, and more as a modern family discovers the fae court has come to their neck of the woods to play for a while. It gives some insight...

The games I play regularly right now are Arcana Unearthed, Dawnforge and something else I can't really go into now. My list would be really long, but I can't think of that many right now. However, the top of my list would include: 7th Sea - If you like Feng Shui and you like the swashbuckling...

The most detailed response can be found here on this page at Monte's website. It'll tell you what PDF support the book will get as well as what products will follow it up and more.

I would like to second what Mouseferatu said. We have been playing for several months now (with some interuptions for playtesting and playing mini-games in other settings) and in the beginning our DM had the same concerns you that do; however, in actual play he hasn't had any trouble. The same...

Monte's name has been fixed from the spelling error I made at approximately 1am last night. Though I don't understand why I am getting remarks about a post that was an inside joke between me and another poster (whom I know off-board) on another message board and has nothing to do with a...

Monte told us at the AU update that the book with that cover was about key word "evolved" and that it would be a sort of event book about something in the West of the Diamond Throne setting, but it would also be like a sourcebook. I think it is about the return of the Dragons who went into...

Human or not, my characters NEVER live that long; even the couple I got to retire. Cursed DMs have always gotta go out with a big bang that takes out everything.

I despise halflings so much that I need a bib for all the venom dribbling from my chin when I say *halfling*. :] I would rather play a gnome, but now that AU is here if I want to play a small or smaller character I can play a faen (the cool race for players of small characters). :p

It has been a year since Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed (AU) was released and I was wondering how many of you utilize it and how much of it you use. Basically, I am wondering how many enjoy AU and in what capacity you enjoy it in. Do you use it in your games or does it sit on your shelves as...

I buy mostly non-WotC stuff. In fact, I find that I buy less and less of their stuff over time compared to that of other companies. It usually depends on utility; can I use this or not? Is it original and interesting or not? Serpent Kingdoms, no; Draconomicon, no (some day maybe); Planar...

I don't know if you are interested, but there is a thread over on Monte Cooke's Arcana Unearthed Miscellaneous board called Oriental Arcana that describes an oriental setting that places AU in an oriental setting along with incorporating elements from 3.5. It can be found here.
