The Complete Book of Eldritch Might

Monte Cook wrote a three-part series of Books of Eldritch Might. This collects them into a single volume and updates some of the rules to 3.5 standards. Short form: It’s a D&D 3.5 arcane caster splatbook.

( Better than most. It has some fun ideas. )

Overall: This makes me wonder how feasible an all-wizard / all-arcane-caster D&D 3.5 party would be if you threw open the gates to this and a number of other splatbooks. You might be able to run that as a sandbox game, even…

Fair Coin

In the wake of a harrowing incident that lands his mother in the hospital, Ephraim finds a magic coin that can grant his wishes. But every granted wish seems to cause additional changes to the world around him, and not all of them good. The consequences of making wishes may be much bigger than Ephraim realizes…

Disclosure: This is another book where I’m friends with the author. (ecmyers, in case you weren’t aware.) I may be biased. I’m also going to be picky because I can—the book is quite good and I like Myers’ style, but parts of it still irk me.

( Lots of spoilers. Actually, it pretty much assumes you also read the book. And you should read the book. )
