Silverthorne Games is proud to announce the release of our much-anticipated Book of Templates: Deluxe Edition. After numerous production delays and other real-life circumstances, the book is finally available for purchase at RPGNow.com! :)

Here's the promo blurb...

Build a Better Monster!

“The end is upon us, my disciples, for the gates of Hell have opened wide and the Hound has been loosed upon the world! There is nowhere to hide from the beast’s maw or unholy howl. May the Stone protect you in the afterlife if I fail!”
—Favin Mihl, Knight of the Stone God

Book of Templates: Deluxe Edition is not merely a tome of templates, but a versatile toolkit with which you can make your imagination, and the nightmares and dreams of heroes, a gaming-table reality. Using the templates and additional rules content of this tome, any collection of monsters you possess can be revitalized with vigor and possibility!

Well, now you've done it.

As a devout fan of physical, printed gaming books capable of being browsed in the local gaming store, brought home, and lined up on my bookshelves, I have constantly avoided PDF-only products as something "interesting, but not worth my money"...

...until now. Book of Templates: Deluxe Edition just became the first PDF product I've ever actually purchased.

Silverthorne Games, feel free to take that as a compliment to your preview material, your advertising, and your obvious level of quality, which generated enough great reviews to convince this buyer to finally "go PDF."

Keep up the good work! Meanwhile, I've got to go browse RPGNow to see what other useful stuff I've been missing...
 

I paged through it briefly last night, and I have to say it's one of the best d20 PDF's I've seen. Not just the templates (and they've tapped several OGL sources to add to their own), but spells and feats, too. $8 for 260 pages of d20 goodness!
 



I just got my complimentary copy for being a contributor for the PDF. All that hard work has paid off, not just for getting a copy but for seeing the finished product.

I am proud to be associated with this book and all the great people involved in its construction. It was more like helping to build a monument dedicated to 3rd Edition then just a writing project.

Congrats to Silverthorne Games for bring this great PDF product to the d20 community. It's a real gem.

I have to go read now!

Cheers!
