I'll be purchasing this tome, if only because of the gnome-fanatic that resides within me...
I stand corrected, I shall have to sell some blood but it is worth it. The gnomes are worth it. |
I hope Candlekeep continues to be the friendly forum of fellow Realms-lovers that it has always been, as we all go through this together. If you don’t want to move to the “new” Realms, that doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with either you or the “old” Realms. Goodness knows Candlekeep, and the hearts of its scribes, are both big enough to accommodate both. If we want them to be.
(Strikes dramatic pose, raises sword to gleam in the sunset, and hopes breeches won’t fall down.)
Enough for now. The Realms lives! I have spoken! Ale and light wines half price, served by a smiling Storm Silverhand fetchingly clad in thigh-high boots and naught else! Ahem . .
So saith Ed. <snip>
love to all,

I'll agree with that... Most of my gaming dollars go to the Forgotten Realms or BattleTech, so there's not much left over for the generic D&D stuff.
I'll be experiencing that particular problem shortly (as I'm sure you will be also)... especially with the multitude of CBT tomes due for release in the coming months...
Yeah... I *just* got my hands on Mercs Revised yesterday! Of course, I'm not going to jump on all of the new books...
Do you mind if I email you privately to discuss this particular tome, Wooly?

You can, but keep in mind I'm on a Realms-reading kick right now, so all I've read of it is the Wolf's Dragoons entry. |

Speaking of the excerpt....
In the dwarven gods section the state that the allies of the Chaotic Neutral god Hanseath are Green Slaad and Death Slaad...
Does this really go with a dwarven deity or is this some type of misprint? Slaadi are not the most pleaseant of creatures. |

For those who said they were not going to by this book, well there is some nice stuff in it that can be used even in FR, even if it isn't FR specific.
Off the top of my head, since I haven't really read through all of it yet, since I only glanced at it yesterday before my game.
Naming charts for gnomes, dwarves, and that other race. (Yes if you have Dwarves Deep it also has name charts for well Dwarves, but that's a old sourcebook. :))
100 plot hooks.
The last two chapters of the book also have some good info on magic and equipment and some fluff on adventuring, etc...... |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

They're also regularly not what most people expect. Remember, the slaadi embody the purest notion of chaos... it's not entirely outside the realm of possibility for them to choose to worship an unlikely deity... and this is only respective of the slaadi types that we know exist.
Slaadi are fickle in their moral outlook -- if it would serve their ultimate aims, the slaadi would just as likely worship the Spawning Stone as a deity-like figure (in fact, some do). The overall aspect to remember here, is that when it comes to the slaadi... everything is possible.
