It should be available in mid-May from local game stores or from the Studio 2 online store. Or you can pick it up at Gen Con.

Don't know if anyone mentioned it yet but I liked the Dark Legacies Campaign Setting from Red Spire Press. It's one of the all around best "dark fantasy" settings for D&D 3.5

I also want to second Nyambe as a great book.

I think I may have mentioned it, but it does deserve a second nod. Great set of books.

Just got done reading the "Echoes of Heaven Campaign Setting" Book.

I'll post a review soon.

Definitely a 3rd Party Book that doesn't get enough praise.

Not fantasy, but the Book of Unremitting Horror is one of the most awesome d20 supplements out there!

To me, one of the most praiseworthy books that does not recieve enough praise is Necromancer's Tome of Horrors. I really like the old monsters, and I found the decision to turn the Cat Lord into a template actually works.

Atlas Games Come Back!

I read through the entire thread. One of the things that struck me is that sometimes whole publishers get no love and not enough recognition.


Atlas Games - I loved Penumbra and all the D20 stuff of yours that I've seen. Come back to D20! E23 doesn't do bundles and truthfully I find some of your prices high for an abandoned 3.0 edtn line. Have a sale that will let me justify a bulk purchase.

AEG - Some Really Good books. I dont own any of them, but a friend does. Your books are so well organized and comprehensive!


Finally - an odd Favourite

Loot 4 Less V1 - Rings and Things by Owen K.C. Stephens

Great and believable magic for lower levels. Here's the 'bundle' of vol 1&2 for $1.74

i do own a lot of those books. While balance is often iffy, the ideas within are always awesome.

I also really liked Citizen Games Way of the Witch. It was one of the few game books other than Blue Rose with good fluff text and the rules were cool too.

Is that the one with the Vitke prestige class? We still laugh about that one in our game group. One of the players -- RL Wiccan -- wanted to play a "witch." I'd just gotten Witch's Handbook, thought it was cool, and suggested that. He says, "Well, I'd rather play this," producing the Vitke.

Fighter's BAB, full spell progression, two or three good saves, d8 or d10 HD, and a special ability damn near every level, including use of a magical one-handed bastard sword. "Yeah, I imagine you would!"

I have to use nearly all Atlas Penumbra pdfs. Not perfect from the crunch poin of view, but contain thousands upon thousands little interesting fluff ideas.
