[QUOTE="Cyclone Duke, post: 6567009, member: 6676391"] Hello! I got the 3.5 WotBS all-in-one book some months ago. Loving it, it's the best campaign I've DMed (the one gripe I have that all the NPC stats are waaaay at the back of that gigantic book and I gotta flip over 700 pages back and forth!:P) My group love it also.
