The Shaman
First Post
I'm glad you mentioned these, Turanil - since this is the General RPG board and they are recent WotC releases, this seems like an appropriate place to mention them.Turanil said:On the other hand, I still must get a look at d20 Past and d20 Apocalypse, as maybe these books are still worth it...
d20 Past was execrable, just embarassingly bad - I won't recount my lengthy posts elsewhere, but I do plan on compiling them into a review at some point, so I will detail the reasons there.
d20 Apocalypse on the other hand was a pleasant surprise - I had no intention of buying this book, as the genre does nothing for me, but it took the toolbox approach and made a book with useful goodies for most Modern GMs. I snapped it up after leafing through it at my FLGS.
As far as D&D books, I haven't looked at any of the three releases that the OP mentions - the last book I bought was Sandstorm and the last book I thumbed through (but didn't, and won't, buy) was Lords of Madness. I'll probably buy Stormwrack when it's released.
