[QUOTE="Kaptain_Kantrip, post: 107720, member: 546"] I don't think WAR sucks at all. It was a fun read with useful info. The PrCs were really cool (footman and gutter fighter notwithstanding, at least name-wise). I thought the art was fine, inside and out. The mass battle rules are incomprehensible, I'll admit, and seem more like an afterthought than a real attempt to include "battlesystem" rules. All the AEG "one word" sourcebooks suffer from atrocious editing. They have more typos than you can shake a stick at, though this is slowly improving (their mini-modules suffer the same). None of their sourcebooks are "must haves" yet I have found each of them to have enough useful information to make a purchase worthwhile. I own Dungeons, Evil and War. I found Dungeons to be the least useful of these. I almost bought Undead, but I don't want to encourage my co-DM to throw more undead at me when I play, LOL. He's used every type of undead in the MM except the Allip and Nightshades... I dislike dragons as a general rule of thumb (I prefer behirs for some odd reason), so have no interest in buying their Dragons book, even if it written by Gary Gygax... Monsters has not been released in my area yet, nor has Gods. I will give these (and any future) AEG sourcebooks a fair shot at my gaming dollar. I don't think AEG is doing a bad job and releasing substandard products as some of you seem to think. I do think they could do better, but I think each new release is proving that they are, in fact, improving. War is their best sourcebook yet, IMO. YMMV. I do think all this AEG bashing I have been seeing lately on the boards is both unfair and unfounded. I see a lot worse d20 material coming out all the time and not receiving this level of scrutiny and/or criticism. [/QUOTE]
