Player's Guide to Fighters and Barbarians

Well it's been over 24 hours. Think it needs a...BUMP!

You know, you could probably replace 90% of your posts in this thread with just the word "PIMP." It would have the overall same effect.

Eh. Maybe next time pants.

Btw Will, if you're still there, mind if you comment on what was your favorite parts to write about?

Will, I really liked your stuff in F&B. It was a fun read back when I was writing some of the prestige classes. As far as the stuff I worked on I had the most fun writing the Whitefur. The ideas and words just seemed to flow. I also had a lot of fun just sitting down with the other main rules writer, Werner and just talking about ways to work things.

I hope people like all the crunchy bits, I tried to make them as interesting and balanced as I could.

I'll let you know Jeff when I get the book. Btw when PG: Rangers and Rogues comes out, let me know what you think of my contributions.

 

[Will]

Favorite part. Hmm. The feats were a lot of fun, as were some of the fiddly weapon bits I mentioned, like the pistol grip (called bent grip since, well, there are no pistols in SL.)

I also liked little thought experiments, like evil characters who support ostensibly good regimes. The mercenary groups that I pretty much made up allowed a bit more freedom.

I had a lot of fun overall, though.

 

[Nightfall]

Sweet! Thanks Will for your input. When I get the book I'll be sure to let you know what I think. Especially regarding the merc sections.

Btw this is a PIMP ehrm Bump.

 

[Nightfall]

No folks I don't have the book yet. I will say what people have mentioned about makes me want it EVEN more. And yes this is a PIMP/BUMP.

I picked it up at Gen Con. I hadn't heard about it at all, but when I saw it, the only thing I could think was, 'It couldn't be worse than Masters of the Wild ...'

Finally, a book for barbarians that doesn't stink! Actually ... make that ... 'Finally, a book for barbarians!'

*smiles* Welll that's nice to hear. Certainly I hope it's a book both fighters and barbarians can enjoy. I'll post my opinions on it when I get the book.

I was at one of my local stores last Friday and looking over this.

It seemed 90% Scarred Lands related flavor text, and 10% crunch. Not sure how much of that flavor text I could extract to say... Kalamar.

I didn't get it, mostly because of budget at the moment. But I'm not sure it's going to be high on my list if there's so little crunch. For flavor text - my needs are in the setting I use.

-shrug-

It'd be nice to see a very in depth review done by someone using it in a setting other than Scarred Lands though, to see how easy they found it to get use out of all that flavor text.
