Fantasy Hero: Nobles, Knights, and Necromancers is, as one might expect from the title, a rogues gallery of fantasy baddies. It's very thoughtful of them to use such a title. Just think how confusing it would have been if they'd called it The Big Book of Railroad Spikes instead.

And two legs. And an assortment of other little dangling bits. But a complete and mostly functional anatomy does not a hero make. No, my friends, heroes need stuff, things, gear! The heroes of RuneQuest are no exception. Lucky for them there's a book all lined up specifically for that very purpose called RuneQuest: Arms & Equipment.

Nobody cares about the man in the box. They care about the man who's casting a maximized fireball spell at the group of hobgoblins charging down the hall. To that end, we recomend picking up True20: True Sorcery, lest you all end up in boxes before the adventure is through.

Learn Ancient Stuff Or Die

Posted: December 05, 2006

On this Day of the Ninja, we must reflect on what ninja do for us. How they avenge the deaths of friends, family, and electronic pets. How they assassinate pesky insurgents or businessmen. How they make a dang tasty burger. In fact, that last one is so important that it bears making a book on the subject: Ninja Burger Honorable Employee Handbook. Appreciate the ninja, for today, you are surrounded by them, and they know what you're thinking.
