Forked Thread: 3.5 Discounts (FREE TOOLBOX)

[sjmiller]

You know, I have to say, that Pinto guy is pretty inconsistent. First, he tells me he's sending me something, but to not tell people. Then he says I can talk about it when I get it, but it has to be funny. Then what does he do? He doesn't send me a copy of Toolbox. He sends me a signed copy of Toolbox! That's all he said he was going to send, but is that what he sent? Nooo! He sends a signed copy of Toolbox AND a signed copy of River of Blood AND a baker's dozen of mini adventures! There's enough stuff here to run a campaign for quite some time! What does he think I am, unemployed or something? Oh wait....

He may be some kind of psycho pixie who has eaten a few too many pixie sticks, but he's psycho in a good way.

Thanks Jim, I really appreciate the generosity. Thanks to Jeff for starting the thread and for the kind offer he and his wife made. Since my birthday is this Friday, the package from Jim the psycho pixie made for a great early birthday present.

Congratulations on the Ultimate Toolbox.

Its a must buy on my list. You've already earned it with your previous version.

I hope its available as a PDF.

I don't deserve 5 extra HP.

1. I'm the thinking character that works at the world events to not need hp.
2. I'm happy if I can accomplish soft goals that don't involve killing things.
3. I've given away treasure for future favours.
4. If my character has a deity I live the faults and the benefits.
5. I don't play evil characters because,, well, I like the good guys.
6. I write a bazillion pages of background because.
7. My backgrounds are often better than a stranger's adventure.
8. I play online and have to supply my own snacks.
9. I LOVE books but I'm slowly replacing everything with PDFs because of (Ctrl F) and search. Also my 'office' doesn't have to look like I game.
10 I got old and a life now I don't remember every page of every game book.
11 I'm not that old that you can rely on me not knowing every page of every game book .
12 My wife, The Chores, My life, come before gaming.
13 The kid inside of me still doesn't know #12
14 I like well written stuff from previous games more than crap for new games.
15 I didn't like Toolbox at first! Now AEG Toolbox & AEG Mercenaries are two of my favourite game books.
16 Everything is a game aid.
17 I have too many people to game with over too great a distance for face to face gaming.
18 High School was a long time ago, but I game with my best friend from that time over the net.
19 Gaming drives my graphics programs - gotta make better maps.
20 My players never see the whole adventure, only the path they took.

why this book is better…

1 More than twice the ingredients of the leading national brand
2 I spent more time editing out jeff's bad ideas
3 I really did edit out a lot of bad ideas
4 Which means the book has 11% more good ideas than previously thought
5 I mean seriously… do I really need 120 names for familiars
6 Every chart has EXACTLY 20 entries
7 If we couldn't come up with 20, it didn't deserve a chart
8 You saw the index, I mean… c'mon
9 We literally worked until our pencils broke
10 There's more advice than last time
11 and better tools for doing what needs to be done
12 Jeff and jim gave out free copies of the original
13 Their own personal copies
14 Well… except I own a lot of copies of it
15 I mean, a LOT of copies
16 You'd be surprised
17 Trust me
18 How many was that?
19 So, I only have one more?
20 Okay

BONUS: The next guy who capitalizes my name gets his toolbox taken away… even a PDF version.

 

[Dimitri Mazieres]

Capitalize? As in JIM PINTO?

Otherwise... Yes! I could try to sell Jim Pinto's mighty beverage and raise some capital with your name!

 

[Wulf Ratbane]

Wouldn't it look better with Pinto sandwiched between the two Ibachs?



The cover, I mean.
