Guys just grab some random fitting magic (the gathering) card in front, so you have some cool illustration to show your players... u can do the same for the npc thing

Great video. Very informative and descriptive. Thank you. I’m getting this one when the next sale goes on WWEShop. This will always be Roman’s belt!! ☝🏽 ☝🏽 ☝🏽 ☝🏽

Ah, spell spheres! Because divine spellcasting is like a lady's stocking: it's important to keep the theme straight.

7 points for Sanddoom 😄

Resist the nostalgia. It is never like you remembered. I fell victim myself and had re-buy them at exorbitant rates (roughly $180 for the core books), and despite starting to re-read it on PDF prior to this, having it my hands, plus my players making characters that are going to get screwed, and also have features of the system I was hoping to gloss over as central to their character, I have been reminded too late that the primary reason I swore this off and sold my books was MENTAL LOAD. Being a parent kills brain cells, there are a hundred things I need to track with an ADHD kid and a cancer kid and elderly parents and an aging house and two aging cars and then to have players that don't know the system and builds that emphasize my least-liked parts of the system.... due to the expense I incurred for this and the parts I DO like, I keep circling back and ALMOST giving it a shot, which I guess is why I started watching this.

Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle was released as a GenCon exclusive BITD.

Hey Dave you still in Kentville? Might be home in Windsor Nova Scotia next month, wouldn't mind meeting you if your not busy

Nothing SCREAMS Canada like Tim Horton's Hockey Cards 🤣

Nice stuff! Thanks for sharing! Wow - you spend more in a year in TTRPG content than I do in maybe 5 years.

Very nice pickups, thanks for sharing Dave. ❤

Very nice haul. Love seeing what you got. The Tian Xia book looked good.

Make room for 6e!

Hey, Dave! I was wondering if you'd ever be up for doing a video on tips and tricks that you've found over the years of DMing that you'd maybe want to share? It doesn't really fit with the vibe of your channel but I've always been curious to know what you're style is, what advice you'd have for the community. Thanks again, dude!

I yearn to have a D&D collection as big as yours one day!

Whenever I gaze over my meager DnD shelf I get a hit of dopamine! It's a feeling that everything is in it's place. 💉🥃🤤

I used the Storm Blades to torture my players. They would swoop in at the last moment to strike the killing blow and take credit while telling the party that they need to be more careful because the Storm Blades would not always be around to save them. Drove them crazy and made them laugh. I also made a poster for a celebration of the heroes of Cauldron featuring the Storm Blades and “others”!

I've heard the Nicholas Logue-written Eberron mini-campaigns in Dungeon Magazine Issues 133, 150, and 151 were excellent. Have you checked those out or played them?

Can you do more in-depth reviews for each Eberron hardcover?

I grabbed this without knowing minibelts were a thing. Got it at the store Friday night. Was gonna get the blue briefcase but felt this was way better quality for an extra $25. Will pick up minibelts when I go to other ppvs.

Such a helpful video I keep coming back to. I just found a secondary bookstore near has recently acquired a large 3.5 collection for me to go through and select from. Thanks for this great vid!

The other lvl 20 campain released by WotC is also Chains of Asmodeus. It was surprisingly "quiet" release

The production value of 3E is so much higher! Better page making, better illustrations more information. How is it possible that 5E looks so cheap by comparison???

In our gaming group almost everyone gm-ing pathfinder 2e too and not just play it, and we all forget to give out hero points. Like every time. So our custom is that, there is always a dedicated player whose job is to ask for hero points between encounters XD

3E was so beautiful, much better illustrations and page making than nowadays. How is that even possible?

I picked up the starter set in 2018 and it did have a reversible map with Phandalin on one side and the region surrounding it on the other. Maybe it was a newer edition? That map got some mileage because I introduced 3 different groups to d&d using Lost Mines since then!

Fun vid. My friends and I are about to start a campaign. We all random rolled everything (except the limited names) with only one of us doing one re-roll. We are a dwarf hunter, a wolfkin thief and a human mariner. No magic, no heavy armour. Wish us luck 🤞🙏.

I miss my magazines 😅😭

1. I love Pawns, space and cost effective! 2. WHERE ARE THE PC PAWN SETS!!! You can't even find them on Ebay any more. 3. I saw Swarms for insects, bats and such. I was expecting to see TROOPS but didn't see them. Are we dropping those? 4. I was expecting to see more NEW artwork. Some of these look a little too familiar for my taste. I mean, it is a new revision. I went and paid for this... I suppose I should not complain because WotC Can't seem to get their act together since the PHB should have been out at the beginning of this year. So, Congratulations Paizo for getting it out when you did.

Nice work. Got one myself. Love the Page and Book numbers. Would have liked a map on the Player Side (like the MidGard screen from Kobold Press- possibly the best screen I have ever seen), but the art is excellent! Also the Remaster Terms are very important for me. It's one of the only things that are new on this side of the screen. Kinda shocked that you didn't whip out the original PF2 (pre revision) and show them back to back.

Absolutely beautiful book. I just received mine today from Noble Knight Games for a great price. For all of the people in the comments that are holding out for a big price drop, don't hold your breathe. I would guess they know this book is a bit niche, and for the price point and the quality of the book I can't imagine they printed a ton of them. I would expect this to become more expensive if you wait too long.

Orcas are considered dolphins. All dolphins fall under the greater family of whales. I really enjoy the pawns. I have several sets from 1st edition.

The only thing that always bugs me about pawns is when the art overlaps the cutout and important parts are being cut off

I too have a Vecna obsession & sadly cleared out 80% of my Dragon & Dungeon mag collection a decade ago, but Dragon issue 348 was one I kept. I own almost all the Vecna stuff, but gave away Eve of Ruin to a buddy because I was so disappointed in it.

Okay, I had no idea Starfinder went in this direction. You already know my passion for Battletech, so I'm interested. Full disclosure, since Starfinder came out I've thought about a Skittermander Mechanic whose drone is a mini-mech, though the rules didn't exist for that. The drone could operate normally or carry the PC. Dunno if that's viable. This Path is clearly Pacific Rim in nature, vs smaller mechs like in District 9, ED209 from Robocop, or even the Protomechs from Battletech.

I just can't do WoTC these days, with that said, when the price gets low enough I'm fairly certain they are breaking even on purchase at best I'll probably pick it up. Would like to hold out until I feel like they are losing money on the sale and get it then, we'll see. Love your videos though.

what part of canuckville are you in sir? im in BC, specifically the Okanagan

Commenting from the future! Not only will 2nd ed PHBs go up in price, $60 is not unheard of. My local store sells them for $40 and that's considered 'cheap'. Invest now!

I fully expect to see those at the table when we next get together. To those who question Canadian dollars and why there are syringes in Pathfinder: - Using a different unit of measure creates context. Relax. Not everyone is American. - There are GUNS in Pathfinder. The concept of a syringe goes waaaaay back, so maybe chill there too. That Mirage Dragon looks absolutely baller, BTW.

For what liking D&D and ad&d better? ~Brian

I'm definitely gonna run these one day. Not sure whether 3/3.5 or 5e would be better. I am starting to favor OSR styles over newer style games these days.

Thanks for the review. Despite having just bought the remastered rulebooks (I'm new to PF2e), I purchased the Advanced GM Screen instead despite it being 'outdated' as I found it's on-the-fly chart for creature stats invaluable for my style as a GM who loves to improv frequently.

I'm surprised to find how little there is in this box, Free League boxed sets are usually so packed with goodies you're inclined do grab them and the core book. No initiative cards? Glossy character sheets are also an odd choice--so hard to update with pencil.

Watch series one (6 episodes); radically different from later seasons which turned into a soap opera.

Lovin this series. Just rec'd my SC hardback today to go with my old Dragon Mag Cauldron fold out map. I'm gonna relisten to all of these again after reading the separate adventures, just to take notes to improve mine when I run them.
