    Prophecies of the Dragon

    Hrmmm... 1 new monster New Abilities/skills New Weaves Seanchan Background Several maps Loads of NPCs Some great ideas Damn, even with all of that I cannot justify a $30 tag. Its just too much. Whole sourcebooks twice its length are $30. This is worth $15, maybe $18. No more. My suggestion is...

    Your most recent purchases?

    I have recently purchased: The Quintessential Fighter- I like this one, but not as much as the Q Rogue. Still, the fighting styles are finda cool, as are alot of the new equipment and rules. I just dont like any of the PrCs. Chaos Magic: Wild Sorcery- Yea, another core class, and its rather...

    10thousands of names, 100shops (with each 50 weapons) and 100 taverns

    IMHO you are stressing something that doesnt need to be stressed. You are the DM. You decide what shop has what, and its not hard to do it on the fly. You tell the PCs they mostly see, say, swords and maces that this smith slpecializes in. If they are looking for something else that the smith...

    How much do you spend?

    Im in the $41-$50 bracket, but thats because Im a whore for Mongoose Publishing and KenzerCo and have to own everything they put out. LOL. -=grim=-

    A Detailed City?

    Eh, Geanavue has alot to its darker side. The Talarassa (Noble ruling Houses) have alot of Lawful Evil members, and political intrigue is some of the worst violence you can ever see: assassins, arson, hired thugs, vandalism...you name it. Despite there not being a thieves guild, many...

    Prophecies of the Dragon

    I have it and IMHO its only good for the appendices in the back and ideas to steal. The adventures themselves either make the players just bystanders to the scenes, or they are complete and utter overkill on them (the CRs are WAAAAAAAAAAY off in this one). I wish I had waited until the book was...

    Villain Design Handbook (preview)

    All I can say is that I cannot wait for this book. If K&C handles this one like they have with all of their other books, this ones gonna be insane. I need a better job just to afford Kenzer&Co.s books now, because I want them all the second they come out. I went 6 days w/o any real source of...

    Kalamar Players Handbook Web Preview

    Amen to that Wolfshead. KenzerCo has never disappointed me in anyway with their products. Who cares if other companies can use it, when I personally can use it. The Players Guide looks to be a book thats up there with the PHB and DMG for game importance. With that many new feats, new skills...

    A Detailed City?

    My money goes to Geanavue: Stones of Peace. Despite being a Kalamar setting ciye, it can EASILY be added to any setting. As a matter of fact, there isn't alot of material that cannot be considered generic setting-wise. I have the Waterdeep book, and my friend George has the Hallowfaust book. I...

    Social Feats for D&D: Please comment!

    Kaptain, this list is absolutely awesome and I wholeheartedly thank you for posting them. I began compiling a list of such feats on my own just a few weeks ago, and now I dont have to do it anymore. You did it for me. I really needed a list like this, especially because I use Geanavue: Stones of...

    WoT: the Noble class

    Im a big fan of the Wheel of Time d20 game, and I am planning on running a game within a matter of days. One of my players wants to run a noble, but we both agreed that the class abilities are sadly lacking when compared to the other classes. The ability most in question is the Call in Favor...

    Worlds

    Im going to have to be jerk and add a world not on that list. Im saying that Kingdoms of Kalamar might be the hardest one to DM, but the easiest to play in. The reason I say it is the hardest to DM is because political intrigue is, IMHO, much deeper than that of most other worlds and as such...

    [Advice] Putting more options in my games

    Usually what I do, to keep my games from being too linear, is that I come up with the main NPCs of the adventure and write down their motivations towards not only the PCs, but also each other. I also include any guilds or noble houses involved, and how they fit into the mix. I write down how the...

    Which city supplement should I buy?

    Dude, Geanavue is hardcore. Its one of te most detailed and realistic city-books Ive had the pleasure of owning. I used to think Lankhmar and the old Greyhawk box was awesome: they pale in comparison to Geanavue. It has everything you could want in a book of this nature, and I guarantee it will...

    NEW D&D Player's Guide info!

    I cant wait...I cant wait...I cant wait...I cant wait...I cant wait...I cant wait...I cant wait...I cant wait... [ad infinitum] Though I must admit that Im nervous about the subraces. These arent some cracked out-high fantasy dealies, are they? Because the FR already has the Genasi and the...

    [OT - gaming affecting RL] Does this ever happen to you?

    Well, this isnt exactly the same, but I was doing an oral report in my Medieval Thought class on William the Conq. and I mentioned that he was a high level Duke, when I MEANT to say a powerful Duke. I really thought noone noticed until someone in the back yelled out the quote from the movie...

    Best d20 Setting?

    Woohoo, I was mentioned in a thread a little ways up w/o ever having posted here. YES!! ::dances and flips for joy:: Aight, Im on heavy cold meds right now, so ignore my inane babbling. I voted for KoK for the following reasons: 1) Its very well thought out and planned. 2) No meta-plot. 3)...
