[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 2255827, member: 14159"] I loved the AD&D 2e Spell Compendiums, because they were proud to be every spell ever produced for the system, dating back to ancient issues of Dragon and obscure settings almost nobody had ever heard of, all updated and revised. They were the complete archive of every official spell for AD&D ever made, be it from core book, suppliment, Dragon magazine or module. Of course, they made them at the twilight of 2e, I think that the last volume of the Priest's Spell Compendium was the last 2e book made actually. Now, this Spell Compendium doesn't even come close. It doesn't claim to have every spell made for 3e, just the most popular and widely used. Half the fun of the old compendiums was finding obscure spells in there you'd never heard of, not just reprints of spells you already liked. Also, if Charles Ryan has been saying we're nowhere near the end of 3e, isn't it a little early to be producing a big master spellbook? Or are we just going to get an Expanded Spell Compendium in a few more years that's bigger, more expensive and outdates our existing one? Oh, and let me still grumble one more thing: Nothing more for d20 Star Wars?!? [/QUOTE]
