Green Ronin PDFs

[Yair]

I didn't see this in the news, and I thought it deserves some spotlight: Green Ronin released some pdf's for sale at RPGNow, specifically the Advanced Player's Handbook, Advanced Bestiary, and the revised Terror in Freeport.

It got some play in the less then active PDF section of the Publishers forum, but ya, it needs to be highlighted.

The reviews section is down at the moment. Are the advanced guides any good?

I have the Advanced Bestiary (in print) and it's awesome -- I'm planning on buying the PDF. Keep in mind, though, that it's primarily a book of templates. If you're not a fan of customizing monsters you likely will get a lot less use out of the Advanced Bestiary.

I don't have the Advanced Player's Manual but will by the end of the week. Probably going to purchase both PDFs today or tomorrow.

I have heared great praise for the Bestiary, if it wasn't so costly I probably would have it already I don't know about the Player's Handbook.

Are templates reprints of OGL stuff or completely new templates? If they're talking a 100 new templates... Yowser!

New templates. Including some really fun ones like the flesh plant (the sample creature is a flesh treant).

From the product information page:

• Over 100 new templates with CR modifiers ranging from –4 to +6

(Emphasis mine.) Also from the same page:

DOWNLOAD PRICE: $18.00

Sigh...

At the current dollar to pound exchange rate, that works out to be less than 10 pounds. Cheaper than a movie with popcorn in the UK.
