The first in the Dungeons and Dragons Gazetteer. This is the thin (32 page) Greyhawk Gazetteer that came out during the early days of 3.0. I've been gaming for a while so I have quite a bit of Greyhawk knowledge, but still having handy summaries of the countries and gods is nice. Plus it's a nice supplement to the giant Greyhawk poster maps I have from Dragon Magazine.
The other book I picked up was Chill Vampires. I blame Tim at the The Other Side blog for this one. He's talked about Chill several times. I've never played it. The only other book I have for the system is Creature Feature. Still the book looked cool and I thought I'd pick it up.
"Vampires" is a great sourcebook for any system. Rather than general "different kinds of vampires," the sourcebook gives you specific legendary vampires to contend with (Jackson Jammer is a personal fave). Chill is a great RPG, whether first or second edition (and, of course, Cryptworld is compatible with that new Pacesetter supplement of yours).
ReplyDeleteI've been reading your Cryptworld posts. Looks like I need to get a copy.
DeleteVampires is easily one of my most favorite RPG books ever. Not just Chill, but out of all my books.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, Jackson Jammer is a kick-ass vampire.
I did Unisystem conversion of him a while back. Gotta find that.
I've just skimmed it, but it seems really cool. After replying to Mr. Snider's comment I went ahead and purchased the Cryptworld pdf from Goblinoid Games' site.
