[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 2462550, member: 22779"] Sandstorm was one of the first WOTC products I bought in a long time. I really like this book. I like it enough that I'll probably buy Stormwrack as well. I've got no adventures heading into the cold, so Frostburn will have to wait. However, if you are heading anywhere near a desert or area with no water, Sandstorm is definitely worth the money. Besides that, it's actually not a bad read as well. I definitely give it two thumbs up. Although, taking a look at the caravel posted on the WOTC boards, it's nice to see that someone has no idea how rigging works yet again. I'm sorry, but you cannot place a catapult on the main deck of a caravel. It doesn't work. Nor does placing a ballista behind the bonaventure mast on the forecastle. Don't people realize that those sails need ropes to hold them in place? If you are going to have gunpowder age ships without gunpowder, you need to develop ballistae that can be placed below decks. Catapults don't work on ships with three masts. Sorry. :] [/QUOTE]
