Frostburn: To buy or not to buy?

[Aeolius]

Gee, I wish WotC would release a cool sounding adventure like that nowadays.

Alas, LoBI came to an abrupt end due to player conflicts. Fortunately, I had BPAA (see the link in my signature below) up and running by that time (January 1998). Still, it's been more than 3 months since I have updated that campaign, due to real-life concerns (new daughter, new land, building a house, etc). BPAA will return with a vengeance this weekend.

Sooo, is LoBI something you made up for a 1e campaign or...what?

And BTW, you don't have a sig...

Look at his post above...sigs only show up on the first post on a page..i..e one per page. Cuts down on board stress supposedly.

I won't buy it. I'm at my d20 saturation point for books, right now. I didn't buy Races of Stone, either. I'll buy monster books, and I just bought The Book of Hell from Mongoose for a possible celestial campaign, and I still love Malhavoc Press, but as far as prestige class/feat/race books, I'm pretty much done.

This is all very well, but does it have anything on the Land of Black Ice or black ice itself?

Judging by the adventure in the latest Dungeon, the answer is YES.

I admit, the "top Ten" list had me going "feh", too. But after actually seeing some of the new rules in use in the "Raiders of the Black Ice" adventure, I'm more hopeful.

The $35 price is a bit of a speedbump, though. Basically means I can either afford this, or the Monster Manual III, but not both, at least not both at once. But I will at least flip through it.

Wanna bet they'll do like they did with the miniatures, and make the price bump retroactive, so those same copies of the PH that have been sitting on the shelves at $30 for a year will now have $35 stickers on them?

Is there anything on that most enigmatic of icicles? Black Ice?

Black Ice is a major enigma of the CORE D&D world. It's high time it was explained!

Black Ice weapons have appeared in D&D products and the Ice Abomination of the ELH is described as dwelling at the bottom of a field of Black Ice.

A CORE D&D book on ice, cold, and all things frosty should detail Black Ice.

(not yellow ice.)
