[QUOTE="Philotomy Jurament, post: 5092963, member: 20854"] I don't have UT. I do have [i]Dungeon Alphabet[/i]. I thought DA was good, and I loved the art. Personally, I don't think I [i]need[/i] DA; I like making my own stuff, and I've been around long enough to come up with this kind of thing, myself. However, I'm still happy with my purchase. (And did I mention I love the art?) I handed the book to my 13 year old son, who plays in my games and also runs his own Labyrinth Lord game. He thought the book was awesome, and has been [i]studying[/i] it like I used to study some of the old D&D books. To him, it was all fresh and new and inspirational. I think that's where the real value in DA is. For guys who have been playing since the 70s or early 80s, you might get something out of it, but it will still be familiar stuff: more of an "oh, yeah," than a "what a cool idea!" For people less familiar with "old school" or newer to the game, in general, it's a great product. Heck, even if you just want to stoke the "old school" fires or enjoy the waft of nostalgia and maybe get some inspirational reminders, it's probably a good buy. (Good price, and did I mention the cool art?) Like I said, I'm old and jaded, but my son liked it so much it's he took it and put it on his bookshelf (he stole it from mine). Warmed my heart. (Now I just need to get him listening to Black Sabbath…) [/QUOTE]
