Just got Races of Stone

[JDragon]

Evening all,

I just gome home from my weekly game at the game store, and while I was there my was able to pick up my reserved copy of Races of Stone.

Got a chance to glance through it before the game started, and wll be reading more tomorrow. Looked like some good fluff and chrunch for Dwarves, Gnomes and a couple new races.

Let me know if you have ?'s and I'll see what I have time to answer.

I'll also get more details up once I can look at it closer, if someone doesn't beat me to it.

What's the word on gnomes? Anything useful, or just... goofy?

Well it has about 11 pages of fluff covering everything from life to death, icluding arts & crafts, Love and so on. Has some stuff on their society and culture, interactions between gnomes and other races.

Then another 6 pages on religion (including 5 gods in addition to Garl Glittergold) History, Folklore language, etc. Last is a thing for names and a short example of a gnome settlement.

Thats just an over view, I havne't had time to read it yet, but scanning it it looks like it will be good for really getting into a gnome character.
