Ptolus - Six Days Early!

[Arbiter of Wyrms]

I dunno. I just [don't] understand why everyone's going so crazy about Ptolus. I Heard some people at my FLGS talking about it in reverential tones... I just don't get it. What's the attraction?

I played through a bit of A Paladin in Hell and I decided that Monte Cook was a good author for adventures. I read the 3.0 DMG, and became a devotee. I have yet to read anything from Malhavoc that I don't like. It's compelling, well-written, well-edited, and (with the exception of the print edition of the original Book of Eldritch Might) well illustrated.

Ptolus is Malhavoc to the nth degree. They went all out and did a completely innovative setting/sourcebook/super-module compatible with the brilliant Arcana Evolved, and playtested it for what, eight years? This is the world that D&D implies, but with bound-in cloth bookmarks, thoughtfully chosen illos, and a bonus CD stuffed with more bonus material than you can shake a +3 sword at.

This is a $120 D&D book worth buying.

Looking forward to it.

Be interesting if my preorder shows up while I'm at Gen Con.

The one very nice thing about preordering from White Wolf is that I'm nice and close to them shipping wise (1 state away) so I get things very quickly after they ship.

Since I'm working on the Ptolus Counter Collection (and let me tell you, that a whole frikkin' LOT of NPCs), I've been basking on the warm glow of Ptolus for some time now.

Does it live up to the hype?

Hell, yeah.

I too am waiting eagerly. I plan on picking mine up at GenCon. In fact I was origanlly planning on going just Fri, Sat and Sun, but now it seems I'll be there on Thur. So I can pick up my copy and actually read a little since I have nothing planned for the day!

From what I have been reading from the pdf releases, Ptolus looks like a good product. Since internal consistancy is something I look for in my worlds, I cant go wrong with Ptolus!

Looking forward to it.

Be interesting if my preorder shows up while I'm at Gen Con.

• The opportunity to receive your product in the mail or pick it up at Gen Con Indy on the day of release.

We should be receiving an e-mail after July 16 on what option you want.

I'm driving to GenCon, so I'm picking up Ptolus there. If you are flying, then it is up to you if you'll have room for it in your luggage.


Peace and smiles

I just got preorder in yesterday and had a smile on my face all day. I'm still smiling. The only other products I've been this excited about are A Game of Thrones and Netheril: Empire of Magic.

Your Ptolus preorder?

Have you recieved your preordered copy of Ptolus already? What's your impression? When will mine arrive? How do you think the binding will hold up in use? When will mine arrive? How are the unpreviewed illustrations? When will mine arrive?

Spill!

Arizona's close to California. How come Frakathka's gotten his copy and I've not yet gotten mine?! I'm gonna throw a fit and a tantrum and hold my breath until it gets here . . .
