[QUOTE="Tsyr, post: 418154, member: 354"] Occult Lore: More new magic systems than you can toss a three-legged cat at. Good art, good writing, inovative ideas (for the most part). Hard cover and fairly meaty, but still a good price. The Book of the Rightious: More divine goodness than you can chuck that cat's missing leg at. VERY meaty for a good price.
