Troll Lord Games Great Sale

[Glyfair]

Since it's become traditional to point out great deals in General Discussion, I'd like to point out that Troll Lord has a great sale right now. Almost all hardback & softcover books are on sale for $10 each. Much of the emphasis has been on Castles and Crusades, but there is a lot of d20 stuff there including Necromancer Games products.

I decided to pick up Castles & Crusades (so I can convert the Castle Zagyg stuff later) and the Monster of all Encounter Tables. I was wavering on Yggsburgh, and decided against it (it looks good, but I have plenty of fantasy cities right now).

How is the book of familiars? I'm intrigued by that one.

The ENWorld reviews section for The Book of Familiars has a 4* and a 5* in the reviews. From the description on the site, it seems to come with 3 extras as well (not sure if they'd be included in the $10 special, though).

IMHO, it's not that useful. Much of the book is on familiar for other classes. Which is good if you want that, but if you don't, then much of the book is a waste (I was expecting more on actual familiars, like the Dark Quest book).

Wow. Lost City of Barakus is in there. A steal at twice the price.

If you don't have it, but it now.

There are a lot of steals there, particularly Yggsburgh (which is huge and detailed).

Must second that. Yggsburgh is a great book, with tons of adventure hooks. I think it covers just the right amount of territory for a "home base" setting. I'm looking forward to the rest of the Castle Zagyg series (detailing the upper ruins and dungeons).

I grabbed Hall of Many Panes and some of the Gygax Fantasy World books. I already have a lot of Troll Lord's stuff. I recommend the C&C rulebooks and the Lejendary Adventure boxed set, too.

I bought a 2nd Printing of the C&C PHB since they cleaned up the formatting errors, been waiting forever for the LGS to get my copy in...screw 'em. I also bought Gygax's Living Fantasy book for info on life in a fantasy world. Finally I bought Yggsburg even though I plan to use the Castle Zagyg series in Greyhawk proper. Should be good though just to read.

I personally have got some amazing mileage out of Gygax's "The Canting Crew", and "The Heart of Glass", which is a very gritty and liberating take on city adventuring.

I heard mixed reviews on The Canting Crew. I haven't heard anything about Heart of Glass, I'll have to look into it.
