    Tell me about Earthdawn

    I have most of the books, but I'm still trying to get the last few I need to complete the set. If you have Secret Societies of Barsaive or Orks of Cara Fahd, I'd be interested in buying them when you are ready to sell...

    Mongoose's New Monster Book

    I saw it at my FLGS, but didn't buy it. The monsters looked ok, but didn't seem super original or amazingly cool. Neither did they look overwhelmingly stupid. The art was about average for a 3rd party monster book... so-so, with some pieces better than others. I have plenty of monster books...

    WARHAMMER FRPG - I have it!

    I went to the store, not sure if I was going to buy it or not. I liked WFRP, knew it had some kinks that needed to be worked out, but not sure if there'd be enough changes made to warrent the $40 price tag. After flipping through it and reading selected sections, I decided to buy it. Getting...

    Frostburn v. Sandstorm

    I haven't read Sandstorm yet, just got it today. But just flipping through it, I see 1 MAJOR improvement over Frostburn... they condensed the random encounter tables to about 4 pages! Thank goodness they listened to the complaints on Frosty's epic-length encounter charts. So, just on that...

    E.N. Publishing - Now In Print!

    Thanks for the previews. Just from these peeks, it seems to me your layout and design may be a step or 2 above the smaller of the 3rd party publishers. You have seem to have decent art, one page has a border design, etc. Nice work! It's a shame the extra stuff on prosthetics and such...

    Iron Lore: Malhavoc's Surprise?

    True, but the AU monster book was perfectly usable in other settings too, and the GM/setting book could be plundered for ideas in a regular d&d game. As for the 3 conditions you mention, I find them to be highly probable...

    E.N. Publishing - Now In Print!

    This is a good idea, as I'm one of those "refuse to buy pdf" people. However, I'm also a bit hesitant to shell out $20 or so for a book I haven't seen. I think sales would be much improved if you posted some sample pages from the books. (The one I'm specifically interested in is Steam and...

    Iron Lore: Malhavoc's Surprise?

    This sounds like a cool book, but the format raises fears for me. Like AU, it'll be a 240 page book (b&w or color?), followed by 2 96 page softcover books, one on the DM's info, and 1 for monsters. This is exactly how AU was released, and I bought them all, and now I'm kicking myself because...

    The Ultimate Mystic

    I felt the cover was truly terrible... the wost on any Hero 5th book I've seen. It doesn't convey mysticism at all, it looks much more scientific with a brain scanner and all. The colors were garish, and the poses stiff and unrealistic. The interior art was better (or at least more...

    Slavelords of Cydonia

    It's "John Carter of Mars"... John Carpenter is the movie director... good review though.

    anthropomorphic rpg

    Perhaps similar in the nature of the setting, but the rules system is very different. I would recommend Ironclaw and Jadeclaw, with some house rules to reduce some of the die rolling. I've attached my house rules to this post... Note that 2 of the files are adapted from charts by Sanguine...

    [Malhavoc] Hey, Arcana Unearthed fans!

    Here's the most important question IMHO: Will there be any way for someone who already owns AU and the Diamond Throne and doesn't want to spend a ton of money on mostly reprinted material to seprately get only the new, updated info found in AE? Will future supplements to AE also be fully, 100%...

    Review: Advanced Players Manual (Long)

    All in all, it sounds rather disappointing. Another stat is not really needed, and would require every creature and character to be modified. The race construction rules sound interesting, probably the best part of the book from the description. New classes and PrCs are expected, and these...

    Sidewinder: Recoiled - anyone playing it?

    I was looking to buy a wild west d20 game, and it came down to OGL Wild West and Sidewinder Recoiled. I ended up going with Sidewinder, though both games looked fairly similar (both based on d20 modern, similar kinds of feats, etc). Sounds like I made a good choice, but can anyone who has both...

    Everquest 2 Players Guide

    I've noticed that this is still listed on the front page as being available, but my FLGS still insists it has been delayed 2-3 months. Has anyone actually seen a copy in stores somewhere, or is it vaporware?

    It's Official!

    Read it again... at 1st level they can only glide, not fly. At 5th level they can fly for only a number of rounds equal to their Con modifier, or twice this long if they are willing to become Fatigued. Not until 10th level are they able to fly at will, and by then, many other characters can...

    The Black Company Campaign Setting

    You seem to know and enjoy the novels very much, but how well do you think the setting, characters, and other info will be understood by someone who has never read any of the books and knows nothing at all about the series, like me? Does the setting info presume familiarity with the novels? If...
