[QUOTE="mythusmage, post: 1684539, member: 571"] Got paid yesterday (well, as close to 'paid' as you can get on disability). Seeing as I was to try out a (as yet) unpublished RPG ([i]Fantasy Imperium[/i]) I decided to pick up a few goodies at the store. These being: [b]GURPS: Dragons[/b] (Steve Jackson Games): Phil Master's look at the beast of myth, legend, and chintzy dungeon crawls. [b]Iron Kingdoms Character Guide[/b] (Privateer Press): If you are a crunch monkey this aint the book for you. Lotsa meat, lots of description and expository goodness. There are pages devoted to the calenders. And its treatment of non-humans is very different. Gobbers (a type of goblin) are good guys. Elves have problems. [b]Living Fantasy[/b] (Troll Lords): In which Colonel Pladoh imparts advice and wisdom most any world or adventure design could use. [b]The Extraordinary Book of Names[/b] (Troll Lords): Malcolm Bower's look at names around the world and how they or a variant thereof could be used in an RPG. Includes random tables for fantasy names which look like a lot of fun. Also picked up [i]Dungeon[/i] 114, [i]Dragon[/i] 322, and [i]Signs and Portents[/i] 11. Of the books, if I had to choose I'd go with IKCG. Meaty, with tons of good art. My second choice would be G:D. Also lots of meat for the page count (160) and the art of Alex Fernandez. Yes, a GURPS book with good art. And Alex does a nice komodo dragon head (p26) BTW, I got LF and EBoN for 25% off cover price. If you are in or will be in the San Diego CA area sometime in the near future, Game Towne at Harney and Congress is having a sale on the old d20 (3e) books. 20% off for one, 25% off for two, and 30% off for three or more. I spotted only one copy of [b]The Extraordinary Book of Names[/b] but they did have an extra copy of [b]Living Fantasy[/b]. If you're looking to add to your collection this is a golden opportunity. So that's what I got for this month. [/QUOTE]
