Amusingly, I notice a special listed on the side of the page when I went to check out the sale. Darwin's World Gencon 2005 adventure #2 on sale for $5.95, marked down from $12.00. Interestingly, $5.95 is the regular price over at RPGnow.

So not every sale over at DTRPG is what it seems.

So... which are good, and what is good in them?

I got the following at their latest 5$ sale (real books though )

Monster's handbook - interesting ways to improve/change monsters. divided by monster category, includes lots of feats, prestige classes and general advice. execllent although 3.0

Portal and Planes - interesting book about ... well.. portals. good read but didn't use any of it

Wildscape - This one I really liked, lots of useful information about outdoor environments broken down by type, lots of hazards and rules to deal with them. Can make outdoor adventuring a whole lot spicier

I think I also have dungeoncraft but I don't even remember if I liked it or not

Dungeoncraft and CityWorks are good buys if you're running -- or designing -- city or dungeon adventures.

Considering they use to only give a dollar discount on retail this seems a pretty amazing change of heart for them.

The Monster Handbook got 5 stars from everyone that's reviewed it so I think I'll pick that up.

I was curious about Dungeoncraft when I bought all FFG hardbacks in their $5 sale. This book didn't get a single review. I thought it would be boring - well, who hasn't seen a dungeon before ? - but I was positively surprised .

Portals and Planes is one of my favorite campaign references and I've literally been waiting for them to come off the high peg with the PDF prices.

Can see how a significant chunk of my monthly budget is being spent this month...

Edit: If you don't have it yet, Wildscape has the best mod to the 3.5 ranger I have seen.

Portal and Planes - interesting book about ... well.. portals. good read but didn't use any of it

It's not just about portals. It's also about planes.

But there's some wicked cool campaign ideas regarding portals. Also has its fair share of planar adventurer stuff and nifty opposition (my players have come to rue chaos legionaires...)

I think I also have dungeoncraft but I don't even remember if I liked it or not

Well, I thought it was pretty basic.

I'd add in that they're good if you're new to designing and running city or dungeon adventurers.
