A must for every player/DM

Post by Dr Ed »

I just acquired the d20 Sorcery & Steam source book and I have to say that it is probably the best d&d expansion I've read so far, perhaps even more useful to a Ravenloft adventurer than Van Richten's Arsenal. It's out of print, ...

Not only does it contain a plethora of classes, feats, and equipment models that compliment Ravenloft perfectly, it gives excellent examples of ideas for putting steampunk material into a campaign.

Two classes that specifically stand out for Ravenloft are the Detective and Physician. Both are ideal horror archetypes, and both establish skill and ability sets that go well beyond the relatively vague Expert class. A few others -- namely the Artificer and Musketeer -- also work very well within the Ravenloft world.

You know, until you said something I had taken his initial suggestion to mean one should look on Drivethrurpg or similar sites, not download it illegally. Guess I wasn't thinking like that when I read it.

I never saw his original suggestion.

Thus, I will merely let my dirty mind ramble and assume he was talking about becoming a prostitute to raise funds for the purchase of the book.

Huh... I wasn't referring to illegal downloads, but whatever. Get the book if you can find it, is all I'm saying.
