Lulu had a 30% off sale a week or two ago and like most of us I took advantage of the sale. The first thing I grabbed was +Richard LeBlanc's Creature Compendium. This is a no brainer. Richard only does spectacular products. This one is no different. I've spend some quality time in my 'reading room' with it and I've already marked a few of the creatures to add to my adventures.
The second book and third book I bought was +c.r. brandon's Heroes & Other Worlds (HOW) and a copy of The Cauldron that is a accompanying zine for HOW. I've been hearing about HOW for a while now. +Tim Knight uses it in his campaign and +Joshua Macy has been writing content for HOW on his blog. So between these two and the sale, I got a copy of the system. I really like how it works. It is simple. Which is important because my brain is wibbly wobbly most of the time and stuff falls out. It's a simple system with a lot of options. I haven't had a chance to look at The Cauldron yet. It looks to have a lot of complimentary material.
The last thing I received in my mail call was Bird of a Feather from +Lesser Gnome. Created by the minds of +Zach Glazar and +John Hammerle. They had a 40% off sale during Swords & Wizardry Appreciation day. I bought it knowing very little about it. I was very impressed with their other products so with the sale I just clicked and waited. Very fast turn around by the way. Little did I know Bird of a Feather is a collection of short adventures. Right up my alley. Everything about this book is good. The adventure ideas, the creatures, personalities, art, layout and over all quality are all top-notch. I'm officially a fanboy of Lesser Gnome.
Oh, and they sent me some hardcore tattoos to sport at my next gaming session.
So pleased to hear of another HOW convert. Looking forward to hearing what you do with it!
