[QUOTE="Mr. Beef, post: 3247287, member: 44124"] That's what I was thinking of, Unearthed Arcana, thank you for pointing that out. Didn't Cook do UA as well or was that someone else? Then I have never heard of AU or AE and may take a look at them once I get a chance to go to my FLGS. I looked at it and was suprised how good it was. Lots of detail and gave me a lot of stuff to work with. It was even better than the RPG.net review I found. I was just bemoaning the fact that there was no "official" review for it on the EN World review page, which is the first place I go if I want information on anything. In terms of sheer size Ptolus is D&D turned up to 11. With everything I need to run a game in one book (albeit a very large book) for one set price and not having to worry about purchasing another two or three books to get all the flavor of the world is just good in my eyes. Everything I have read about it makes it a rather good jumping on point. Everything you point out is something that makes D&D fun to me. The vigalante group of nuns sounds like something I would have never come up with. I'm not to hot on dungeon crawls though. I've never been in one at all, and I'm not looking forward to running one. I know the game is called [B]Dungeons[/B] and Dragons but it just seems like if you've been in one Dungeon you've been in them all. Thank you for your opinion. I've just about made up my mind, and I want to order which ever one I choose by the end of the week so I'll have it just after the new year. I just wish I could hear more about Worlds Largest City. After the (mostly) positive reviews I heard about Worlds Lagest Dungeon I figure that it would be good as well. Thank you Colonel Mr. Beef [/QUOTE]
