That's something I would certainly enjoy, too.

I've never taken a super close look at Frostburn. I mostly remember it for being the book that brought us Shivering Touch and Ice Assassin.

It's a bit lengthy and only recently came out, but Odyssey of the Dragonlords looks pretty cool. The lead designers of a few Bioware gems such as KOTOR and Baldur's Gate got together to write up a setting/adventure path influenced by the myths and legends of Ancient Greece.

I already have a copy, but I haven't finished reading it, and I probably won't review it until I start (and finish!) al-Qadim and SIGMATA.

I'm about 1/3rd through Al-Qadim and did the first few segments of SIGMATA. I know I haven't posted in a while, but I'm slowly but steadily getting work done.

Realize I may be one of the only people posting here, but I'd get a kick out of seeing someone cover one or more of the Grimtooth's Traps books. The Wurst of Grimtooth's Traps is even 3.5!

Edit: Oh hey Ancient History already did it!

I started writing a review for Blades In The Dark, but I think it might benefit from a second opinion. Any takers?

Sure, why not?

What do you even do with that?

Writing up all these environmental rules reminded me that hey, PTU already covered some of this. The sci-fi supplement specifically has actual rules for different gravity levels, vacuums, and completely toxic environments. There are also rules for making robots in here, and I plan to include something similar in my game.
Since I need to go through it anyway... is anybody interested in a review of Do Porygon Dream of Mareep? It's a supplement, so it's way shorter than the core rules.
