Once again they show us that you don't even need to go anywhere, with lots of stuff useful for both players and DM's. Selective AoE spells? That's always incredibly handy anyway, given dumb players. But what races will they focus on?  Eberron gets Dragonmarked. The spotlight goes on one of the biggest sources of cool new crunch and setting associations. If you want to focus on this side of your character a little more, then now you can. Prestige classes. Getchore prestige classes here! Join the queue mate. Following up on the new basic set, we have Scourge of the Howling Horde. An introductory adventure for 1st level characters, designed to hold a new DM's hands through the experience. Jump on board, the water's lovely. Out in D20 land, Goodman games are going for a major nostalgia hit with Gazetteer of the Known Realms. See the adventures that came before put into context, in classic fashion harking back to old mystara and oerth. Yay for that and yay for boxed sets. Also quite possibly nostalgia inducing is the complete D&D cartoon boxed set. Seems like they've mentioned it here recently more than they ever did back when it was actually on. Another one of those slightly baffling turnups for the book, especially as time has not been kind to it. The Blood War minis set gets unleashed upon the public. Not just fiends, but all sorts of other planar creatures as well for you to fight. On the third party side, Magnificent Egos release a Kraken upon us. Other worlds vs the watery deeps. Pretty decent fight actually. There's also a whole range of wooden environments from Laser Crafts, including a rather nice ship to facilitate water battles. All ties together surprisingly neatly. Our game aid this month is another easily erasable initiative board. Seen them before, may well see them again.If you're interested in card games, there's Rise of the Shogun. Like the warmachine/beasts, this is a selfcontained game, but can combine with other games in the series to make something bigger. No great surprises here either. Our book is slightly more interesting. The art of the Cthulhu Mythos draws from tons of products from the last few decades, including the RPG. If you're a collector, then this'll give you something to display, and quite possibly an idea of what else is still out there to track down. Order of the stick gets The Dungeon of Dorukan. A fun little game starring all our treacherous, unstable and incompetent friends we've come to know and love over the years. Who will win this battle and get the bragging rights? And finally, they promote a company that makes replica swords of the ones you see in movies. That's entertainment. Nothing you can't sell or buy, if you know the right people and pay the right PRIIIIIIIIIIICE!!</blockquote>
