I took my wife to Barnes and Noble and saw a DnD display so I caught some of PHB II. I was suprised to actually like what I saw, stupid me thought there could be no new ground. Instead I saw what was called a beguiler character, which about describes almost to a tee exactly what I was trying to get at with damn near half of my characters. Cool.
Better yet, there were some young kids there and I think the impression of a young, good looking, professional man in khakis and a nice buttondown (work gear) made a good impression on them that, yes kids, you can be a DnD geek and super cool at the same time.
Sadly, however, evidence of the inability for the game to market itself was there too. They had five copies of the Drizz't graphic novel on a top shelf crammed in the corner. All were the second part, with the first part of the series nowhere to be found. And what was behind these books in a corner hidden from the light? DnD minis. Like a sad congregation of gully dwarves that knew no better. I almost bought them for the little children, then I realized that in this day and age it would be tantamount to soliciting a minor. So I just walked away.

I liked PHB II. I always think afterwards, "I could download this online for free though"

Anybody going out for the Complete Mage book WOTC is releasing? I always feel like a sucker whenever I really want to read another one of these marginally useful supplementals.

I dont think I'll buy the Complete Mage. But kids have been buying a ton of shit lately.
I got the PHB2 which i really liked. I also picked up the spell compendium which made my life really easy.
Though I might consider buying Ptolus.
For those who dont know what this is or dont remember. Ptolus is the city that the Banewarrens was next to. Its also monte cooks home campaign. Now he has compiled it into a setting. An 800 page sourcebook. The largest ever created. In it is MAD city shit, Banewarrens shit, World shit, and mad modules. Its insane. It retails for 120 dollars. Madness. But Monte is my ninja.
