Glgnfz, I remember the picture of your first hard cover you had made at DDs. Don't let that stop you though.

I got mine yesterday! I haven't had time for much more than a casual glance through the book but I liked what I saw. It definately had an old school feel to it. The art was very good and fell right in with the 1e feel. I'll have a more in depth look this weekend and then post my thoughts.

I got the hardback and I like the look and feel of the book. The artwork is old-school and the monsters seem tight (I haven't checked out all the stats yet). All in all I think its a great work and will add some spice to my 1e campaign.PapersAndPaychecks wrote:What did you think, gents? Be honest.
Thanks to all who made it happen!

I got mine today. I have to say, I wasn't expecting a lot of quality as far as binding, paper, cover etc. because I've heard these POD places just can't afford to produce really high quality bound books. I was excited about the content of the book but I was expecting to be unimpressed by the physical makeup.PapersAndPaychecks wrote:What did you think, gents? Be honest.
I was oustandingly surprised at how nice this hardback book is. Honestly, it's at least as good in terms of physical construction as any book I've bought from a big name company* (like TSR, WotC, Games Workshop, etc.) in the last 20 years. As for the content.... dare I say it? It's essentially like holding an AD&D Monster Manual III in my hands.
BTW - I hadn't looked at the full .pdf since Axe submitted a bunch of the last minute artwork. I have to say they really add a lot to the book and I was very impressed with some of the pieces I hadn't seen yet. Great job dude!
*The only "problem" is that they gave me two page 5/6s. That in no way interferes with my enjoyment of the book (I suppose I could just rip one out if I really cared about it) but it did throw me for a few moments when I saw the pg. 5 illustration repeated back to back (were we THAT desperate for artwork?
).Got mine today. Nice. Foster, check it out this weekend: I think you'll dig it.
