DM Product Review and Advice

[Mordmorgan the Mad]

Why wouldnt all the WOTC stuff be of this calibre?

Because they only release a few FR books each year and the guys that write those books know to bring their "A game".

I think WotC has tried to produce a wide variety of products in too short a time, and the quality of those books has suffered. If you spend a few seconds searching the Wizards boards, you'll find tons of threads that suggest how WotC could fix their stuff. If Dennis Crabapple never worked again and products stopped coming out two per month, I think the quality would improve. Just my two cents.

P.S. The new Dragon Mag is great too. Horay for Kobolds!

Just got CoR yesterday. Awesome book. Just the NPC's in the back make it completely worth it. Lots of new epic spells. Few new PrCs.
Overall, 8 outa' 10

Kinda' hard to type (just got a tetnus shot earlier so my arm's pretty stiff) so I'll be brief. Just picked up Heroes of Battle today. Some interesting ideas and stuff, as well as plenty of war related things, like a bunch of new siege weapons, such a trebuchet. Some stuff I didn't like too much, some stuff I thought was real cool. Between 6 and 7 stars. Get it if you want to do large wars, but otherwise don't bother. Okay, I gotta' admit though, the dread commando PrC is just cool.

I might pick up HoB, but I am writing up my own Book o' War for the massive interplanar campaign I'm going to start.

If you name is Dan, Ryan, Tyler or Dan, disregard those statements above.

Quick link to my review of one of the best cheap products I've used: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=119403
Unorthodox Fighters by The Le Games. On sale for $1.50 on RPGNow.com . Great fighter variants, good plot hooks to insert them, and a great price. They also have lots of other good things on sale right now.
