Wizard Books

You are Jaimie, a young villager who posseses the ability to talk to woodland creatures. You are currently playing with two of them, Fox and Owl. You, unlike the rest of your fellow villagers, can understand animals, and find great comfort in their company. Although you have been warned of the dangers in the woods, you spend some of your most enjoyable moments there with your woodland friends. All is good until a group of goblins, hunting the wizard Pentegarn, the elf Lydia, and the fighter Baltek, cross your path. It is then that you must decide whether you should warn the fighters of their impending peril, or simply go home where it is safe. If you choose the help them in their quest, you can help them defeat the Evil One that has total control over the kingdom. For the adventurous reader, the paths you take can either benefit, or prohibit, the course of the fighters in their mission against The Evil One. The desicions are always yours, so you must choose wisely, and you must consider the welfare of your party in doing so. If you make one wrong choice, it could mean almost certain doom. Only those with a brave heart and strong mind can choose the correct paths that will ultimately lead to the destruction of The Evil On ,and once again raise the Pillars of Pentegarn. Like those that have taken the challenge before you, I guarantee a completly enjoyable reading experience you'll want to experience over and over agian. Good Luck, young fighter!!

This Alternity Star Drive adventure has all the makings of a future classic. The adventure itself has a variety of interesting things to keep adventurers busy: enigmatic aliens, smuggling, a planet with a hostile environment, and starships hovering around. It seems like so many adventures for SF games in the past skewed too far towards just one of the aforementioned elements; rarely have all of them appeared in one book. This has something for everyone. Plus, the art is simply some of the best RPG art ever. I don't even play the Star Drive setting and I feel this is an essential addition to any SF roleplayer's library.

This is a new edition of the 1793 translation by Thomas Taylor, reset in modern typeface, with Taylor's extensive commentaries, (not included in the 55 Dialogs of 1804) plus Critias added. The original Greek has also been reset, and comprises a substantial portion of the footnotes, which are numerous. The appendix includes a complete listing of all of Taylor's works, which is most useful for students of Neo-Platonism. Being one of the Secret Doctrine Reference Series, the publisher has added a 15 page section of excerpts from the Secret Doctrine by H.P. Blavatsky, concerning Plato. These are quite interesting. The main text has Taylor's introduction preceeding each dialog, and is often necessary due to the abstruse nature of the dialogs. Certainly the Parmenides is one of the most challanging of all philosophical treatises, and is perhaps one reason why Plato continues to facinate us after 2,500 years. Taylor has been criticized by academics devoted to the literal Greek, but his translations are of far greater depth of understanding than say , Benjamin Jowett. If one is enamoured with the appeal to higher mind without the encumberance of dogmatic religion, then Platonic reasoning finds its ultimate expression in Taylor's translations, and this tome is certainly one of the best. There is a frontispiece with Taylor's portrait, attractive plates throughout, a fine binding with gold stamp and red lable spine, and heavy black morroco cloth. Limited to 1,000 numbered copies.

That pretty much sums up this book. It contains the characterdescription sheets that you record your character's info on. You canrecord your stats, skills, spells, equipment, background and experience. The background area at the top really adds detail to your character, and can also remind you how to roleplay your character correctly... BUY IT!

THIS BOOK IS GREAT. IT HELPED ME LEARN ALL THE STUFF I NEEDED TO KNOW ABOUT GYM HEORES. IT HELPED ME MAKE A BETTER DECK. THEY GIVE YOU ALL THE GREAT STRATEGY AND HELP YOU UNDERSTAND GYM HEROES. BEFORE, I BARELY KNEW HOW STADIUM CARDS WERE USED. NOW, IT MAKES SENSE AND I GIVE ALL THE CREDIT TO THIS BOOK!

Let me start by saying I had no idea who or what a Pokemon was before I made this purchase(with the intention of learning more about this craze that all the children are into these days.) My 9 year old has decided that she wants to start collecting and since I didn't know anything at all, zero,zip. I wanted to know at least something about Pokemon. After my purchase, my husband and I now know more than we ever really wanted to know about Pokemon! :0) Excellent resource for those just starting out or just "us" slow learners. Very easy to understand and just as easy to refer back to as a reference. I would highly recommend you purchase Pokemom Made Simple guides. They are well worth the money and not as expensive as some of the Pokemon books that are circulating.

Love this book. If you play, whether it's a friendly or a smoker, this book can help your game with its insights from the players with the biggest stones. Those guys (gender agnostic) are legends and yet seemingly accessible - if only. Dunnett has done it. Even though I recommend it, I'm tempted to keep to myself and use it for the potential ill-gotten gains from less informed competitors.

This just as the "Duengeon Master's Screen" is helpful, quick and easy to use. Just prop it up and you're to go anytime a priest question arrives. It also helps you keep the dice from going all over the place when you roll.

The Primal Order, by Peter Adkison, was the first product from gaming company Wizards of the Coast, now best-known for their collectible card game "Magic: The Gathering"; at that time, WotC was a just-starting roleplaying game company. The Primal Order was designed to eliminate two major flaws in the then-current treatment of deities in roleplaying games; either said deities were treated as all-powerful beings (leading to a great deal of difficulty if two different gods wanted different things, AND eliminating the high-heroic possibility of direct conflict between gods and mortals, cf. Conan, Greek and Norse myth, etc.), or they were basically ordinary characters with really really really high statistics (making it hard to differentiate between a god and a buff mortal).

The Primal Order changed this by introducing Primal Energy, a form of power usable ONLY by the gods and giving them certain advantages. The mechanics of The Primal Order ("TPO") are simple, direct, and efficient, the powers involved well-thought out, and other sections, dealing with godly politics, plane/dimension interactions, and even PC deities, are all well-written and interesting, with few flaws in either presentation or consistency -- a rarity in RPG publishing.

An additional plus to TPO is that it was designed as a "capsystem" -- a roleplaying supplement that works with ANY ESTABLISHED RPG SYSTEM. This means that to use TPO you do NOT have to give up your old system, or convert your old stuff to TPO's mechanics. TPO gives conversion rules in the back of the book for roughly 20 different game systems, all very simple and easily used. (earlier editions of the book contain conversions for Palladium and AD&D; later ones had those removed at the request/demand of the respective copyright holders).

Overall, a useful and well-written addition to any RPGers' library.

I'm the only son of the author of the book A Prince A Wizard and Billy Mcgillicutty, I'm very proud of my father for completing such a worthwhile endeavor, so thanks Dad for making me proud to be your son! With that said being Bob Andruszko's son I had privy access to an unedited version of the aforementioned book, the story is compelling to say the least. In fact, I believe it has the potential to become a movie one day! That is, if enough people decide to read to discover for themselves the intricate plotline that develops into a fantastic story-line intertwining itself with a touch of fantasy and theology which ultimately translates into a fantastic read for all ages. The flow of the book is dynamically set up to allow the reader to delve into the pages with an anticipation and delight. For the reader that enjoys adventure, plot twists, and a solid storyline this book is for you. A Prince A Wizard and Billy Mcgillicutty is on my A+ list for all time favorites in the ficional category. Thanks for reading my review.
