So.. what did you buy this month?
- Thread starter Krug
- Start date
*is kidding*Well, call me a bit mainstream, but I picked up:
Also, here in the UK, we have Gen Con UK coming up on the 29th, so doubtless I'll buy loads more stuff there!
I think I can hear my bank manager coming already...
- Manual of the Planes
- Call of Cthulu d20 (excellent)

Let's see, in the last month I have bought:
Path of the Sword
Pocket Grimoire Arcane and Divine (great reference books)
Hammer and Helm (excellent)
Slayers Guide to Dragons
Liber Bestarius (excellent)

And I am eagerly awaiting the Book of the Righteous and the Assassin's Hanbook when they hit my LGS any day now.

Some Knights of the Dinner table comics (Bundle of Trouble #9, Bundle of Trouble #3, along with iss. 69 and 70)
Does an Orc & Pie t-shirt count?
Hm... Oh. And a signed print by Tony DiTerlizzi at GenCon (I just love all his 2nd edition MM artwork).
That's all for now.
Forgot to mention the 1st Ed Fiend Folio.

Its Now August...
Well, in August, here are the following I've used/bought/picked up/gotten for review:
Hammer & Helm: Great dwarf mechanical sourcebook
Heroes of High Favor: Dwarves: Another dwarf mechanical sourcebook, aimed more at players with little overlap.
Book of the Righteous: Very cool book on a whole pantheon with lots of prestige classes, pantheon details and ties to the demon/devil monster books.
Arcane/Divine Spell Compendiums: Very handy reference books that need some additional art and an update of one every six months or so. Should've been an Interlink product with the spellcards from Paradigm but maybe next time or next printing.
Assassin's Handbook: Cool core class of assassins, lots of great poisons, some interesting guilds, but not enough 'complete' factor for me.
Witch of Loch Durnan: Okay adventure with some great mutation tables. (I love Chaos from Warhammer so anything that helps bring Chaos to the table is okay with me.)
Wild Spellcraft: Kinda reintroduces the Wild Mage to 3rd edition with a new template that can actually work for psionic based characters too.
NPC Essentials: Hey, it's by Johnn For, what more do you need to know? YOu know, the guy behind roleplaytips.com? Go get one.
Swords Into Plowshares: I'm a magic item freak. I think that more illustrations and a single coherent world, like in FR4, The Magister, would've given this one more 'umph' but its a good product.
PvP Stiptease: I know, it's not D20 but its damn funny.
Robin Law's of Good Game Mastery: It's the perfect book for new and old GMs. Small but thoughtful. Focused and precise.
Occult Lore: I like the Elementalist, Rational Mage, and some of the rules like Dream/Ley Line bits.
Swashbuckling Adventurers: Lots of cool core classes and some fantasic prestige ones with a ton of feats. This is a great book and expands a players choices in character creation greatly.
I'm sure that there are other books I'm forgetting to mention and there are a ton of books I havent' bought/receive/etc... but I have looked over Mercenaries by AEG and its a great book. Otherworld Creations is going to have to be on top of the game. No terrible layout like Forbidden Kingdoms, no crappy art like Diomin. If they want to beat AEG's product, their book is going to have to come out like a lion. The Kezner Villain Design handbook is another one I've looked over. Another gem in Kenzer's crown. I've borrowed one of my friends to look over the Anti-Feats. In some ways I think Kenzer limited the appeal of this book as its a good source for new feats, spells, prestige classes and other bits that don't necessarily fall into the DM only lap.

I'm really looking forward to picking up Sidewinder Wild West d20 this month or the next. I love westerns.
I've even decided to let a little cinematic action into the system by allowing the Shaman class from Oriental Adventures for indian mystics and the Ghostwalker prestige class amongst a few others.
Has anyone actually played this yet? I've only seen two reviews and I'd like to see what others think...

Where can one by this tome of Game Mastering Brilliance...for I much desire to read it
website would be nice
I know that I saw it on Do or Dice, under Steve Jackson Games (the publisher of the book). I sure you can find it on just about any online store that features paper roleplaying games. For about $10 retail, you can't beat the price either.
