There’s a new product out for the Ptolus campaign setting.  Secrets of the Delver is a sourcebook written by the man himself, Monte Cook, and provides 79 pages of goodies for the super city, Ptolus.  It’s on sale now for $6 so if you already own the campaign setting, this is a must buy (which I just did).  You can also now get the full Ptolus product in pdf form.  Before they had broken it up into eight or nine pdfs.  Although I have to say, the book is impressive and I’d much rather have the print copy then having this huge product in a pdf.

I know I’m late with my Magic Item Compendium review.  My life and livlihood revolves around baseball so as the season gets closer, my time is more limited.  I’m hoping to get to it tomorrow so be sure to check back (I know, I’ve said that before).   I also picked Queen of the Demonweb Pits as my Blast From the Past.

And if you haven’t gotten in on Wolfgang Baur’s Open Design project, what have you been waiting for.  You get a super top notch product and along the way, you can steer the design of the product (depending on how much you contribute to the product).

My copy of Ptolus came in the mail today and all I have to say is, Wow.  It’s by far the most elegant role playing product I’ve ever seen and while I haven’t gotten into the meat yet, based on what I’ve heard, I won’t be disappointed.  Even if I never play a campaign in the City by the Spire, I’m really going to enjoy reading this book.  A review really can’t be done because this book is so huge but as I piece things together and read through it, I’ll be sure to share my thoughts.

Alright, I saw an advertisement for Ptolus not that long ago (probably in a Dungeon Magazine) and needless to say, this looks very cool.  It’s also very expensive.  So if any one has bought and has any thoughts (like do you get your money’s worth), please let me know what you think in the comments section.
