    Mongoose's Strongholds and Dynasties

    I recall asking Mongoose about it a while back and apparently the shipment was held up by customs for a while...as for those who pre-ordered on Amazon.com, eh. I cancelled my order a while back, although I did go back and manage to snag a copy for $21.55 including S&H from an Amazon reseller...

    May-August WotC Product Catalogue

    And why would that be so bad? Especially if they took some of the better 2e adventures and updated them (as opposed to 3.0, which would make little sense)...I rather liked the two Dungeon adventure anthologies a few years back, I'd like to see a bit of that again. Of course, I'd also like to...

    Complete Warrior, anybody got it? What's in it?

    And how is that bad? They essentially lose their spellcasting capabilities but (from what I can tell) are given the ability to do 'x' or 'y' which is the equivalent of a spell, 1/2/3 a day. You're getting too hung up on the notion that the ability is explained away in the form of a spell. Work...

    Complete Warrior, anybody got it? What's in it?

    Try 'stormlord'. Much better.

    Complete Warrior, anybody got it? What's in it?

    Personally I'd rather get the +1 CL/every other level compared to what the previous bladesinger versions have had. So I'll add a hip-hip to your hurray (sp?). Puzzled by the extra FR PRC material but oh well.

    (Mongoose) Book of Strongholds & Dynasties - Out Next Week!

    I hope it's better than the SBG, frankly I didn't like how it handled construction (other than magical augmentations).

    How to make your donation!

    Amazing. Bloody amazing. The apathetic cynic in me has been bowled over upon hearing of this and then seeing how well people chipped in. If I were God's right-hand man I'd vote to give all the donors an honorary halo (in your choice of neon blue, pink, purple, or pale golden). :) And I'll...

    Sheoloth: City of the Drow

    *L* I should clarify that somewhat, eh? The binding is still holding, at the same time I recognize that other companies have done a better job at binding than Mongoose has. For what it's worth, I've been careful not to flip it wide-open and stress the binding in that manner, likewise I hold the...

    Sheoloth: City of the Drow

    Hmm, should I or shouldn't I? That was the question I asked myself after reading the first thorough review of Sheoloth (John beat me to it, drat!), both whether to keep Sheoloth on order as well as whether to post a review of it myself in the event I'd get it. Surprise, Amazon.com kept telling...

    Underdark

    Underdark is the latest game book in the Forgotten Realms line. It's a 192-page hardcover with the trademark FR 'parchment' page look within and a suitably creepy cover image on the outside by Sam Wood (three out-of-luck adventurers find them being surrounded by minions of an aboleth, who...

    Book of Exalted Deeds

    The Book of Exalted Deeds, a 192-page hardcover,is the second in a line of mature-themed products published by Wizards of the Coast. As with its predecessor, the Book of Vile Darkness, BoED came with a "Warning! Content is intended for mature audiences only" sticker. I know, it seems strange...

    The Slayer's Guide to Demons

    Nice review, john. Any chance you've had a look at the Book of Strongholds & Dynasties? I have that preordered but it's been late getting here (border issues) and I'm wondering if it's worth the $$.

    Sheoloth: City of the Drow

    My copy of Sheoloth arrived on Thursday, what a surprise, and after looking it over thoroughly I still agree with the review for the most part. I didn't feel any great loss by not having Quintessential Drow on hand, but all things considered it would've made sense to include the bits on...

    Sheoloth: City of the Drow

    "Likewise with ovarisites, the spiderlike creatures intrinsically linked to drow gestation (which is itself an inherently cool idea, and one I like much better than the supposition - put forth in a Dragon Magazine article a year or so back - that drow females always gestate twins but one kills...

    Sheoloth: City of the Drow

    Not necessarily, just that it's making me think a tad harder about whether it's a must-buy at this moment. I'm a bit bothered that no building maps were included, if anything because I'm hopeless when it comes to designing them myself and that would've been doubly helpful (I did see the preview...

    Arcana Unearthed: The Malhavoc Handbook

    The magister needs the staff as a focus in order to cast spells at his or her stated level. Without it, their caster level is one lower and casting times are doubled for all spells. So, casting is difficult but *not impossible* without a staff, from what I read on page 44.

    Forgotten Heroes: Sorcerer

    Ever since 3e D&D came out I've been puzzled by the sorcerer class--despite its firepower potential I found it to be more limiting than being a wizard, for obvious reasons (the situation regarding use of metamagic feats, having to wait till 4th level--instead of 3rd--in order to gain access to...

    Will the SRD be updated to ver. 3.5?

    Because you won't need printed-out pages of the revised SRD in order to keep current? because there will be more pages added 9depending on which book)? Because?... Of course, keeping current by purchasing the revised books will cost a bit, and I've been thinking of getting the Neverwinter Nights...

    Loosing XP in item making

    Interesting point to consider.

    [3.5] Wizards Chat Highlights

    Re: Paladin Prison time? My apologies. Do they still send you roses? :D *j/k* The comparisons you're trying to make are apples and oranges because the effects you're discussing would be too broad. in essence 'summoning' the paladin's warhorse is no different than the summon monster spells...
