Fantasy Flight Games is having another sale . . .

[Nyarlathotep]

So I placed an order with them, got an immediate receipt e-mail back with the "wait 1 - 3 days for your order to be processed" blurb.... and haven't heard anything else. Those of you who have received your orders, did you get a 2nd email confirming that the order had been processed?

Thanks!

No other e-mails after the first. But the box reached me a few days ago.

The first set (the Blue Planet books) I got a second email within a few hours with shipping information and a tracking number. The second set I got the second email on Wednesday (but the second order was on Saturday, so that's within reason). Got the Blue Planet books on Wednesday, too, 3 business days after ordering.

I've been trying to find the time to read up a little on which products to buy, and to resist the urge to just get them all. I almost grabbed a few back in December when they did this, but Bastion got my money first on a similar deal.

While I can't imagine ever playing Blue Planet, you guys have tempted me now. I'll probably spring for at least the main book. What other BP books, in order of preference, do you suggest?

I will ditto the thanks for the heads up on the sale! The last time they had a sale I got Cityworks and the School of Illusion and Evocation. They were great.

I just ordered all of the Blue Planet books. I have been interested in the setting for a while but wasn't sure I wanted to invest in the whole line (I am a sucker that way). $30 (well, $37 with shipping) sure beats $100-$120 for list price.

School of Illusion and school of Evocation were (IMO) the two best spell collections published for 3.0. I was really disappointed that they weren't profiable enough to be continued. Divination and abjuration could have really used that sort of treatment.

Well, like D&D, it's a two-book core rules. Though my books are buried right now, so i can't remember what actually is in the Moderator's Guide--i think most of the detailed setting info. So, anyway, i'm not sure of thi Moderator's Guide is necessary, but it'd certainly be the 2nd book to get. After that, it's just a matter of preference--they're all good. Do you want critters? Tech? More setting?

Read the BP Player's Guide last night and was a little disappointed with the mechanics. I'm hoping the Moderators Guide will redeem it.

Well, after the Player's and Moderator's Guide, I'd first pick "Natural Selection" (Best description of an alien ecosystem EVAR!) and "First Colony" (the frontier capital of Poseidon).

But really, buy them all. They are all good, and a steal at the price.

 

[JoeBlank]

Now I'm getting tempted to convert Blue Planet for a plane-hopping D&D adventure. Too much of a stretch?

Maybe if my group wound up there for a session or two, I could eventually convince them to run an actual BP campaign.

Are there adventures in the books, or just setting material?
