Fantasy Netbook Community Council books

Just wondering which of our books you've used.

None

There should be an option for "none."

Sorry, but I regard the NetBooks, as many gamers do, as a sci-fi fan would regard fan-fiction.

Some of it's pretty good, you should try to get it published - at least as a magazine article or something; some of it's pretty bad, and I'll pass, thanks. Unfortunately, most tends to the latter... at least IMO. Not intending to flame, here, really.

You're right, I should have thought of a "none" category. Do you have any examples of what you thought was bad? We do try to produce quality material.

us folk in pcgen have inputted:

Netbook of feats
netbook of classes
netbook of treasures



we are waiting for more of the books to fix the rules and put out releases so we can input them as well! I love the netbooks! They are a great tool and wonderful asset to the gaming table!

Which of the netbooks are actually completed? The last time I visited the various sites, the majority of them said that everything was in preliminary stages, and I've honestly forgotten about most of them until your post just now.

I run the Netbook of Feats. To some extent what you say is true. Were run by mostly unpublished people, and most of our work is by unpublished people. (although two of our staff members have recently had work published).

Some of the material in the netbook is not so great, were working on cleaning up some of the older material, getting rid of the worst of it. Its a work in progress. But to be honest much of what we publish is better than much of what is "published" on the stores of your local game store.

I'd wager we spend more time on each item in the Netbook of Feats than feats in almost any other published book. Each is indipendently reviewed multiple times by no fewer than 3 reviewers.

Anyway, please do me a favor and check out the next version we publish, I think you will be at least a little suprised by the quality of it. I've spent a lot of time lately cleaning out the trash and normalizing all the prerequisites and feat types. Were also improving the organization of the document and such.

Perhaps if I repost my question above, I'll get a bite.

With all of the dead links and the multitudes of different netbooks, I really don't have the time to try and search for the answer -- could any nice soul give me a hand?

I found the W&W's book to be fairly good. The problem is that I don't look for the netbook stuff anymore. Too many broken links, dead sites, and missing books. I had a hook but then I slipped off of the line.

Working on my own netbook (WoT) - and I gotta say that I know we will fall very short of what I saw in the W&W's netbook 9 months ago. So, hats off to all of you.
