Why Did No One Tell me? Ultimate Toolbox!

[JoeGKushner]

Has anyone been talking about this? Seems almost like a stelath release. Bad AEG, no cookie for you!

Over at AEG, Ultimate Toolbox
Alderac Entertainment Group

Based on the award-winning RPG book Toolbox, the Ultimate Toolbox starts off where the original stopped. Focusing on inspiration, the Ultimate Toolbox is 400 pages of the best charts, tables, and seeds of gaming adventure. From character backgrounds and world building to pirate lore and magical portals, every page is the key to adventure.

Covering seven distinct and ever-important topics, the Ultimate Toolbox is a must for any GM. Whether your games take place in the city, dungeon, wilds, or even at sea, there's a chapter dedicated to it. Even PCs, NPCs, and magical creations get their fair share of attention, as well as advice and charts for building an adventure or campaign from scratch.

Begin your journey now.

This book can be used with any fantasy game system. There are no rules, no powers, no stats of any kind—merely page after page of charts, tables, advice and good solid gaming inspiration. With over 1,000 tables and a fully-loaded index, what else could you ever need?

I'm right there with ya. I saw this on Paizo's site about two days ago........first I'd heard of it.

It's a must buy for me. The first one is one of my must have at the table DMing books!!

Well, it has been being discussed in this thread for some time now, but it's visibility was quite low since it was moved from the General forum.

DM Jeff and Jim Pinto (two of the book's authors) have been posting lots of unique and crazy tables there, along with previews from Ultimate Toolbox.

Well now I don't feel bad. It's a forked thread from 3.5 discounts.

But it's a damn shame so many people probably haven't got the hype about this.

Hype is short for "hyperbole". We don't need hype.

I like releases like this. I wonder if there will be a PDF done? And when will the whole thing be converted to Tablesmith? Ha!

Yeah I'll agree but come on man, this is the Ultimate Toolbox. It's made of win.

 

[Aus_Snow]

Hype, no hype, whatever. I'm buying one.

PDF? Yes, but sometime down the road, no idea how long.

Tablesmith? No idea.

The best part for me is that it got rid of the stats, which was quite irritating if you wanted to use the book with other systems.
