I've gotta plug "The Immortal's Handbook: Epic Bestiary Vol 1"

Even if you don't play epic level games, the monster creation guidelines are gold.

If you like AE stuff, the new spell treasury just came out. Its good for pure AE games, or for 3e/AE hybrids, or if your a 3e guy who just likes the AE magic system.

Please do get Advanced d20 Magic. I think you'd enjoy it, based on your reaction to Slayers.

Do you have any experience with Iron Heroes? If so, would you say Advanced d20 Magic would make a good alternate magic system for that?

Okay, I think the final list is gonna be:

RPGnow:
DM Design Kit $3.96
Folkloric - Sahasra $3.00 (got a coupon!)
Conjurer: Core Specialist Wizard $1.40
Diviner: Core Specialist Wizard $1.40
Evoker: Core Specialist Wizard $1.40
Transmuter: Core Specialist Wizard $1.40
Under the Mountain 4 $2.99

DTRPG
Advanced Magic $18.40
Mastering Iron Heroes $7.20

ENGS
Blackmoor $17.14

Total $58.29

As you can see, I am dipping slightly into next month's budget.

Getting the Firefly collection for Christmas REALLY has me trending towards an SF move, so it was with great reluctance that I am delaying the Blood & Space 2 bundles. But I'll definitely reconsider them next month after my viewing is complete. Using the holidays coupon for Sanctum & Sigil was also tempting, but I know it won't be much more for me to purchase a hardcopy.

Thanks to all the publishers who went out of their ways to inform me or sample their wares! And Happy Holidays to all!

I know of Iron Heroes, but I haven't had the chance yet to peruse it in any detail. I do know that we give suggestions in Advanced Magic how to scale back the system for a low-magic setting, which I believe is appropriate for Iron Heroes, but more than that I really couldn't say with any accuracy.
