I have the d20 books 1, 2 and 4 (Warlock of Firetop Mountain, Caverns of the Snow Witch and The Shamutanti Hills). Goes to show I don't even know what's on my own shelves. :oops:

This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

Yep its the second one. Although that is a bit higher than what I really want to pay for it. The other 7 I have picked up for around $5 each.

This strikes me as a pretty good lot. Four items, including Gryphon's Legacy and Tome of Levity for just over $11 including shipping.

Another set of four modules from the same seller. Four D20 adventures from Fast Forward Entertainment for $11 including shipping.

This lot includes Orcfest. I have't read it, but how could you go wrong with that title!

Fast Forward Entertainment did not exactly blaze a starry trail of glory across the OGL landscape, but some of their products are pretty good.

I won that listing (THANKS FOR POSTING IT)

At $5.95 plus reasonable shipping, the lot was more than worth the cost for Orcfest alone.

Orcfest: As you suspected, The title basically says it all.

Still reading the others, but Orcfest looks like it would be fun to play or DM.

I will be posting a thread in the General Forum as a short Non-expert review of this book.

Another of the four books in that lot is:

Demonic Lairs.

An accessory by James M. Ward.

Ten Lairs for ten outsiders from the Encylopedia of Demons and Devils...

Nuff said.... you guys dont need me to clarify what this book has to offer and the authors name alone should be enough to make many want the supplement.

The other two books in that lot are adventure modules.

One (Temple of the Troll God) by Timothy Brown.

The other (Slave Pits of the Goblin King) by James M. Ward

The two modules are part of a trilogy modules that can be used seperately, or as a campaign.

Unfortunately this lot was Missing one of the trilogy and my E-Bay searches have not found it yet.

I am missing Fortress of the Ogre Chietain (which is the first of the three if used as a campaign).

A HUGE dissapointment for me is that ALL of the Fast Forward Books offered free downloads on the web site.

Including additional maps and other data, even free adventures.

Of course that web site no longer even exists and the downloads are not available anywhere that I know of. :evil:

By a set of unlikely circumstances, I have a number of the early Fast Forward Entertainment items signed by James Ward.

Every time Orcfest comes up I either have no money or there is something else just...too...sweet.

There has to be someone out there who has the Fast Forward downloads still available.

The Fast Forward Entertainment books were literally the first D20 books I read. They illustrate some of the good and bad things about the D20 creative movement:
1. New ideas tried out by new people.
2. Computer-generated maps, often slugged from color to black and white.

The downloads were another nice feature of the new D20 wave. However, it's sad now to search the internet for those companies and find domain name squatters rather than living, creating game sites.

I still have hope for Necromancer Games.

I'm a bit surprised that Gryphon's Legacy isn't a bit more popular. Its a fairly good module by Wolfgang Baur who has done other TSR stuff, Kobold Quarterly, etc.

I believe that Gryphon's Legacy elicits less enthusiasm just because it is readily available.

Collectors agree that it is good work...but also that it is around for $5 at just about any moment.

Like a lot of these D20 items, there will come a moment when people curse themselves they did not buy it back when it was cheap.

I like Gryphon's Legacy, got it when someone mentioned it a year or two ago on here.

I've always championed Gryhpon's Legacy...I think it's one of the best post-2000 adventures ever published. The campaign (this was the only item ever released) looked really intriguing and I was sorry to see it never released. The module itself has a good backstory and setting, a good adventure locale and plot, decent monsters and tactics, and is just very solid (like most of Baur's work).

I wasn't impressed with most of the Fast Forward stuff, although quality could vary. If it's dirt cheap most of it is worth picking up for idea mining.

OK

You guys just convinced me to BIN a copy of Gryphon's Legacy from one of my favorite E-Bay sellers.
At $4.72 and less than $4 shipping I think it should be a good purchase.

UK eBayers can get it for about £2 from Achaeron with £1 shipping.

This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

I have an extra copy too and the gaming store in Brampton has a bunch of copies too. I can probably get it anywhere in Canada for $7 CAD shipping in.

Do you know if ArcheronGames and archkar are the same seller? Seem to list the same items, same shipping deal of £1 for whatever amount bought. Both in Hull too.

Same seller.
ArcheronGames is rhe BIN stuff.
Archkar is the open auction stock.
At least that's as best I can make out what's going one there.
