Message: <blockquote data-quote="BigFreekinGoblinoid" data-source="post: 3251468" data-attributes="member: 5988">I bought the first two books in the series, Frostburn and Sandstrorm. Not bad books, but just so focused, that unless I was DMing an extended campaign in one environment, they would not be used. And they haven't been.  I enjoyed reading the various locations that were detailed ( great maps too ) and those are fairly plug and play, so one or more may see some eventual use. To widen the customer base for these books, they were planned to be balanced in terms of content: the character options were less interesting to me. I stopped buying them because I already have a bunch of similar books from Fantasy Flight Games. I use the "Seafarers Handbook" quite a bit, for example, for ship combat and underwater rules.<a href="http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/llsource.html" target="_blank">http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/llsource.html</a>They have run $5 sales on these books at least twice in the past that I'm aware of. Look out for the next sale, or find them cheap on eBay! Their "Cityworks" and "Dungeoncraft" books are excellent for novice DM's, helping you populate a city/dungeon with plausable components and ecologies; and run appropriately flavored encounters.</blockquote>
