That Frost Giant looks pretty nice. And I must say I'm hyped up already about The Forge of War

 

[KB9JMQ]

Yeah that giant is sweet.
I didn't know there was a clamoring for a trap-making kobold but he looks ok to me.

 

[Agamon]

Kobolds do make a lot of traps, they just aren't usually seen doing it...

Looking forward to Demonweb and Undermountain, and Drow looks like a book I may get.

I like the Frost Giant. The Clever Opportunist feat from the Drow of the Underdark looks interesting. I can imagine having some fun with that one. The Dungeon Tiles are an auto buy for me.

Complete Champion will be getting a very hard look by me, especially since Scoundrel and Mage were very good.

Do love the Frost Giant.

 

[Waldorf]

Greyhawk specific. Nice.

 

[Nightfall]

Waldorf,

Which one is?

 

[Alaric_Prympax]

I wasn't interested in Drow of the Underdark, afterall didn't they already have their Year, but it mentioned Erelhei-Cinlu. I'll have to take a closer look at this one.

And I have to say that Frost Giant was way cool.

 

[Alaric_Prympax]

Which one is?

Hey Nightfall, see my previous post. Erelhei-Cinlu is the major drow city in GH.

The drow book looks decent on first blush, although I'm worried it's going to stay too close to the traditional canon. Not all drow worship Lolth -- heck, the very first ones ever to appear in AD&D didn't! -- and the spider stuff could frankly use a break. That said, what I saw in the preview does look good. So that's a definite maybe.

Both the Sinister Spire and (surprisingly) Expedition to Undermountain seem like possible buys for me, since both seem like a good fit for Ptolus. Heck, if most of Undermountain is just a level 1-10 dungeon under the streets of a city, that all but screams out for slotting under Ptolus. Hopefully it'll get better editing than the latest Expedition to hit the streets. That's likely to be my deciding factor.
