Forked Thread: 3.5 Discounts (FREE TOOLBOX)

[jim pinto]

Email sent. Thanks again, Jeff.

Okay.

I think the only thing left to do to REALLY trump Jeff and his stupid "pixie" joke is to give away THREE copies of the TOOLBOX, a copy of FEATS, the RIVER OF BLOOD adventure, and a signed note telling your GM to give your next character +5 hit points.

The winner of these items MUST complete a 1d20 chart explaining why he (let's face it, there are not SHES on this thread) deserves five additional hit points.

Reasons to give my next character +5 hit points
1. I always host the game and nobody ever brings snacks.
2. Remember, I am usually the DM.
3 I will draw you next character.
4. Your next won't be lemming and placed near a cliff.
5. Your big heterosexual male warrior won't dress like either a Japanese school girl or fairy princess.
6. Your next character will get all the chicks (or guys if that is what you want)!
7. Your character wont be cursed to have his or her alcoholic beverage turn into kool-aid.
8. You, the player, won't have to sing "I am a little tea pot" prior to having your next character speak.
9. A life ending accident won't befall your character right after character generation!
10. When you asked, I gave you DM advice to reign in your game.
11. I gave you some good rpg books for your birthday.
12. I'll give you one of the copies of Toolbox if I win it.
13 Your roomate won't tell your significant other your "little secret"
14. I won't steal your manga collection.
15. You wont be tied down and forced to watch Ishtar for 72hrs.
16. Your next character won't meet Cthulu...at first level!
17. You won't see pictures of Al Bundy's mother-in law naked!
18. Failure to give me +5 hit points, means you will be forced to look at our players Jim and Robbie naked! (Not together that would be too cruel).
19. Your future characters will not be the victim of tentacled Henai monsters
20. My job has severly cut hours during the past month. If I don't win copies of these books, at least my character gets +5 hit points

1d20 Reasons

While both good charts neither chart explains why you DESERVE +5 bonus hit points. Both charts are close, but neither is the winner at the moment.

This is a sizeable FREEBIE... you'd be rightly upset if I gave it up like it was prom night.

Reason 11 is why the GROUP needs +5 HP. But this is a good list.

Okay, Jeff.

What is this? Care to explain?

Where do I get my copy?

Well, jim, my friend, that's the cat...out of the bag. That's just the cover proof for the book we've been working on the past 5 years.

That's the cover for the new, 400 page book called ULTIMATE TOOLBOX.

You can get very, very soon from a game company called Alderac Entertainment Group.

And here's the index, just to prove we're not joshing.

But, jeff… wow… that's a really big INDEX… can that number be accurate? Five pages… just for the index?

Can this book really be THAT useful?

JIm,
"Wow, that's a really big INDEX" was my exact response

Can this book really be THAT useful?

I don't know why, but the question made me think of the following

Shooter McGavin, "Yeah, and, Grizzly Adams had a beard."
Lee Trivino, "Grizzly Adams did have a beard!"

(So, I guess it will be that useful)
