Found two reviews so far for the new book:
Both are short and scant of detail (Tim promises he'll be putting up a more extensive one later), but both are positive which is definitely a good thing (and really, is there such a thing as bad publicity?).
If anyone else has a posted or vlogged a review of The Complete B/X Adventurer (positive or not), please email me a link so I can check it out and note it here. Thanks, folks...I appreciate it!
: )
Just a note: I finally got my a$$ in gear and ordered the PDF of the Companion as well as the Complete Adventurer today!
ReplyDeletehey JB - i'll be posting a longer review in the next couple of days (probably tomorrow at some point but i don't want to make a solid promise lol). but yeah, the book is great and i'm itching to try at the table...
ReplyDelete@ Drance: You JUST NOW ordered it? Jeez, man...here I thought you were a fan BECAUSE of it!
ReplyDelete; )
@ Warduke: Right on! Glad to know you're enjoying the book!
: )
I wanted to get mine up today. But I left my book at home.
ReplyDeleteNow if I had the PDF.... ;)
Expect something soon.
@JB: I know, I'm a slacker. What can I say? No, I was a fan before the Companion, trust me. I'm still a newb when it comes to Classic D&D, and you're the #1 influence on me with regard to that version of D&D. I never had a truly strong interest in playing Classic until I started reading your blog. You've also convinced me to focus on using actual B/X rather than Labyrinth Lord.
ReplyDelete@ Timothy:
ReplyDeleteAgain...right on!
@ Drance:
Ha! Enough of this puffery! I just hope you can make use of these books!
: )
ok, i posted the first half of my review. i'll do the rest tomorrow or the day after. i got a little verbose...but i wanted to do the book justice. check it out here: http://xfearnodarknessx.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteJB, I definitely will make use of them. I tried to run some LL recently and put a lot of work into prepping for a campaign. Then I just lost steam. If you can believe it, I think I lost steam because the LL book just didn't inspire me. Especially when it came to the art. Is that shallow? I guess I want the old school art and the old school presentation, even if said presentation is not as organized as LL. I sound dumb, I think. But whatever. When I return to Basic D&D again, I want to be playing using the original books and original rules. LL is cool and serves a good purpose. But I want my D&D!
ReplyDeleteLonger review, as promised.
