I don't HAVE a printer...so the map folio looks interesting. I'll definatly be looking into all these products. Argh...why must I play all of these d20 games???

Sorry about the haphazard way I posted the above info. I type slowly, and only just got the catalog, so I added info as I read it. I figured you folks would want the info quickly.

No problems at all. Thanks for the info.

Looks like UA, FR3.5 and PsiHB2 for me.

UA, PsiHB, FR, and possibly the screen (because one can NEVER have enough DM screens... )

Cheers!

Everyone seems excited about Unearthed Arcana... but what is in it? I have yet to see any info about what it will have.

Also, is that right "Expanded Psionics Handbook"? Title sounds fishy to me.

I will certainly take a look at the Unearthed Arcana and d20 Weapons Locker books. I will pass on the PsiHB and the FR material.

I doubt the WotC screen will be as nice as the revised Kenzer screen due out soon, but I will take a look at it as well. Even if the WotC screen is inferior, I will still probably get it for the d20 Modern screen.

Alternate damage systems and new spell system? Sold.

Playing some of the cores as prestige classes might be nice as well (paladin for example). I also hope they include rules for playing low magic games.

Alternate damage systems and new spell system? Sold.

I wonder if the alternate damage system will be more than just the one WP/VP system? Maybe locational crits? That might be fun...
