    Big FFG Sale -- I went on a spree!

    I believe they have already stated as much...sort of. My understanding is that they are limiting their D20 exposure to Midnight and that's it. I also remember reading somewhere that a second edition is due out next year.

    Big FFG Sale -- I went on a spree!

    What I don't understand is why Sorcery & Steam is not available at that price. I guess it must be out of print. Too bad, it's the one book I'd buy for sure. Does anyone know which books are designed under 3.5 vs. 3.0?

    GREYHAWK: history of psionics started there?

    I'll let others talk about the origins of psionics as I'm no expert. What I do know is that Greyhawk has one god in it's pantheon that is the focus of the much maligned ability: Xan Yae. Xan Yae is a female, neutral, Baklunish god whose portfolio includes twilight, shadows and stealth. You can...

    Top Five New RPG Books

    Chris, I just tried to order the Advanced Bestiary from Amazon and they gave me a delivery date of February 6th!! What's the story?! The same thing happened with Hamunaptra which I'm getting half way through January!

    Top Five New RPG Books

    I always forget about a supplement or two but here it goes: 1. Ex Machina 2. D20 Future 3. The Authority 4. Expanded Psionics Handbook 5. Unearthed Arcana Several other books that probably should be on that list are on order so I can't really rank them yet. They include Sharn, Worlds Largest...

    Why _DON'T_ You Buy Dragon Magazine?

    I don't envy you Erik. I've read only parts of this thread and it's evident that everyone wants something different. Here are my two cents: - There is a glut of material in the market. Anything one could want is available for purchase. It's difficult, if not impossible, to set any particular...

    Do You Like Advanced Monsters and Prestige Class Examples in your Books?

    I like both advanced monsters and fully stated NPC/Prestige Class write-ups for the same reasons Psion and others have stated: they save time. It's interesting to see how the designers create characters. In addition it helps to illustrate how some of the PrC abilities work. Most of the time this...

    [d20F] Dawning Star Preview Available for Download [on hold]

    Nice preview. I'll make sure to pick it up when it's in print. After reading it what struck me the most was how "small" the setting is compared to other sci-fi settings. Most of the action seems to take place on one planet and that planet has a very small human population. I can only assume...

    D&D Reference Sheets.

    Some of you have probably downloaded the reference sheets downloaded in the...um...downloads section of the website. How do you like them? Are there any other (read better) alternatives? There use to be several for the 3.0 version of the rules but only one for 3.5 that I know of. What do you use?

    Monte Cook - you've gone and done it now!

    Getting back on topic, is there any connection between BCD and the Complete Book of Eldritch Might? I ask because I believe both feature the Nexus, which I believe is analog to the city of Sigil. Just wondering. I own BCD but not CBoEM. I've been wondering if it's worth buying.

    Sharn Art Gallery

    I agree with the landscape comments. I have a difficult time picturing what much of the city actually looks like. There are several pieces that show what a specific tower looks like but I find myself looking beyond that tower to the the surrounding area for a better idea of the city itself. This...

    Dark Inheritance anyone?

    I was tempted to buy it the other day but from what I understand it requires Spycraft. Is that right? That, in and of itself, is not a deal breaker (I already own Spycraft) but the fact that Spycraft is getting a new edition a year from now is. I don't usually complain about updates and new...

    Dark Champions

    I enjoy a good review as much as anyone but... Why should I care about a Hero product on a D20 website?

    Iron Kingdoms players handbook opinons

    The IKCG is a great book set in a truly original setting. That said, it's fairly focused and not exactly a generic setting. Like Banshee said it has it's own set of rules the most significant (for me at least) being how healing is affected (not easy to heal at all) and how difficult it is to...

    So what would you like from a D20 Future expansion?

    More ships. Lot's and lot's of ships. Did I mention that I wanted ships? Psionics. Loads and loads of psionics rules. Tons of tech. Cybertech, biotech, robotics, wetware, nanotech, high tech gear and perhaps some netrunning rules. I'd love to see some settings. Either flesh out some of the...
