Wow.... I had no idea that Hamunaptra was a boxed set. I wonder if I should get my hands on it to flesh out an Egyptian like region of my game world.


Doom of Listenshire was wildly underappreciated. A great piece of work, Ari.

Hamunaptra was pretty cool. It's basically D&D in Egypt, so you have new takes on elves, dwarves etc. and how they fit into the setting.....but you also have a decent setting, and Egypt/Desert-themed takes on core classes, a bunch of interesting feats, like ones giving you powers from being from the bloodline of a god, ones to give you a bonus to AC when wearing no armor, etc. Lots of Egypt-themed prestige classes as well, and several monsters, including several *very* powerful brands of sphinx.

I finally got my copy of the box set. It is heavy! That was my first impression since I am use to the box sets of old...where there was air inside them.

On first glance at the material inside...pure awesome. I know I'm going to be using it in my games.
 

I very nearly bought this today (the FLGS had two copies). But it didn't let me play a valiant cream-filled Twinkie. Low Life won out by a narrow margin.
 

Low Life is very cool, you will be pleased with your purchase. Looks to be just the thing for some fun one off type games, for evenings when the rest of the crew fails to show up.

Good. More CoB for the rest of us!

Perhaps we make a "Cream-Filled Twinkie" prestige class as a web enhancement for CoB? :)
 


I've almost finished to read it. As many of you, I think that this is really great stuff. The only real default I've found is a really minor one: 400+ pages... and no index. Maybe someone at Necromancer games will make one and put it online someday?
 

Yeah, indexing a volume such as this would have been cool.

Unfortunately we never know what the exact page count will be until the book actually gets laid out... meaning the layout guy would get stuck with indexing, and thus far it hasn't been on their top 10 list of things to do, as they typically run from one project to the next in very quick order!

If a fan so had the time and inclination to do one, I would be happy to lay it out and put it up somewhere to DL at a future date!
