Message: <blockquote data-quote="ruemere" data-source="post: 4986032" data-attributes="member: 5515">Disclaimer: This is a thank-you post. It is quite relevant to my PFRPG campaign though.Several weeks ago I became aware of Green Ronin doing a stunt called Apocalypse Sale at Paizo.com. Basically, this is a sale of print products for $2 (or somewhere around that price - hardcovers and boxed sets go for $5). So, I have browsed over to the site and looked through the wares... end result - biggest gaming order in my life.Yesterday, the books finally arrived, smelling of mint condition and weighing a ton. The list:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Bleeding Edge Adventures #3: Dirge of the Damned (d20) </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Bleeding Edge Adventures #4: A Dreadful Dawn (d20) </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Bleeding Edge Adventures #6: Escape from Ceranir (d20) </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Bleeding Edge Adventures Special: Dark Wings over Freeport (d20) </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Egyptian Adventures: Hamunaptra (d20) </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">SpirosBlaak (d20) </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Testament—Roleplaying in the Biblical Era RPG (d20) </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Thieves' World: Shadowspawn's Guide to Sanctuary Hardcover (d20) </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Todd Gamble's Cartographica: Journal of Maps </li> </ol>(the list also contained Shemeska's Pathfinder Chronicles: The Great Beyond—A Guide to the Multiverse (OGL) Print Edition, and Pathfinder RPG Bestiary)So, what is this post about?First of all, I'd like to express my gratitude to both Green Ronin and Paizo for making this sale. I know that such low prices for great products are a total steal. However, I would have never been able to afford them for full or lowered price and so such opportunity was godsend.Secondly, these products are in limited supply. So, to those who never had a chance to have a look at the books, this is probably the last chance to get these classics.Thirdly, very cursory overview of the list warrants the following observations:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Bleeding Edge adventures are small, delicate booklets. They are simple and contain solid maps. I haven't look deeply enough to determine their quality.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Hamunaptra is a small boxed set. I haven't unpacked it yet, but opinions are nothing short of enthusiastic. An <a href="http://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/10/10941.phtml" target="_blank">RPGnet review</a> contains a breakdown of content. Also author names, C.A. Suleiman, Steve Kenson and Ari Marmell speak for themselves.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">SpirosBlaak setting - I've got PDF for free during some promotion, so adding the printed was nearly automatic. Heartily recommended.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Testament - total steal. This is almost as good as Black Company. Great resource to plunder for demons, community rules and plots.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Guide to Sanctuary - two tags: hardcover, Robert J. Schwalb. Since Black Company rpg, I have come to believe that anything with this guy's name on cover is going to be excellent (maybe except next edition of Windows). I was not wrong here, either, though basic book for Thieves World is recommended first.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Journal of Maps - the only thing I'd like to have to have in PDF. Some of these maps rescaled would make for great battlefield maps.</li> </ul>Finally, to tie this with PFRPG:These products could work with any system. With PFRPG they work with minimum effort.regards,RuemerePS. If you have any other great purchase opportunities, please share them here. I may be going overboard with my enthusiasm, but it's been a while since I've seen so much goodness.</blockquote>
