Unearthed Arcana = D&D Viagra!

[Shadowdancer]

I got my copy of Unearthed Arcana last Thursday and spent the weekend reading much of it -- it helped that ENWorld was down.

This product has reignited my passion for D&D. It is so full of good ideas, or at least ideas that spark the imagination. I want to scrap our current campaign and start all over with something new, incorporating some of the ideas in this book.

I haven't been this excited about a D&D product since "Shelzar."

While I share some of your enthusiasm, I didn't think D&D was "limp" to start with.

It is a solid book, tho. The options presented will certainly make their way into a few of my games.

just a quick question, but how many pages in this book?

222, counting the ToC and Index.

Its a good book. But the ideas in it are far from orginal. I can see where they took stuff from other RPG's.

Arcana Unearthed was Viagra for D&D. Unearthed Arcana is just Prozac for D&D.

 

[Hand of Evil]

It is a good book but it contains nothing that you could not find somewhere else and "the food of the gods" that everyone has been wanting for a long time.

I like the book, WotC has been putting some good solid books out.

I'm glad to hear it's lived up to the hype.
I've flipped through it and, ooooooo, me wantee.

As far as my campaign is concerned, I'd say Arcana Unearthed is a shot of adrenaline pumped directly into the heart of my D&D game.

I've had more campaign ideas in the past week than I have had in the past six months. Some better than I'd had in years.

Its a good book. But the ideas in it are far from orginal. I can see where they took stuff from other RPG's.

Yeah, but keep in mind that many folks (like myself and my group) don't have a lot of experience with the gamut of d20/OGL games. For us, Unearthed Arcana opens up avenues and possibilities we've never even considered.

Manna, baby.

I have noticed too that the words "dungeons and dragons" appear in previous sources. Plus, all those numbers on the dice, I've seen them elsewhere too.
