Message: <blockquote data-quote="Eridanis" data-source="post: 209158" data-attributes="member: 275">I looked through Spells & Magic this past Friday, and while I didn't pick it up, I'm much more likely to pick it up than Spells & Spellcraft. The stumbling block on both is that very little space is devoted to actual spells; both book take most of the pages up with alternate spellcasting systems, prestige classes, and various related things. I guess I'm in the minority, but all I want are a few new toys (spells) for characters to play with; alternate magic systems jsut leave me cold for my particular game world, and my weekly group really doesn't have a place for such things (which is fine by me).From just a cursory glance, 'Magic' gets points for the full-color presentation, and while I couldn't spend time reading each and every spell, I liked the quality of their MINIONS and ARMS AND ARMOR books, so I'm willing to give benefit of doubt. 'Spellcraft' gets minuses for that HUGE font they use, and I've spent enough time poring over those spells to determine that there are perhaps a half-dozen I'd like to play with or let into a campaign. Not worth $30 of my money.Maybe I just need to crack open the 2E Wizard's Spell Copendiums, and start doing a "Tome of Horrors" deal and convert them wholesale to get the spells I want. Unless some website somewhere has done that work already...</blockquote>
