I went to my Comic/D&D store just to get out of the house, with no intent on buying anything. Sitting there on the shelf, like a beacon of light, sat a shiny new copy of ToHS. Of course I snagged it, ended up leaving the store with the book at the first 7 issues of the Transformers G1 on going series from DW (great comics, but completely off topic).

Well, I get home, start flipping through, and all I can say is wow! There is so much in here, its not funny. Sadly, the most impressive thing I found so far was Errata for the Age of Mortals War Mage. Course, that is a huge thing, especially for all those that keep asking about errata. This also had wonderful things, like Raistlins Apprentice stats, and even Fistandantilius and his complete lvl breakdown with the new PrCs involved. Man, there is so much my head is spinning. I am glad there is no test to take on the material. I think I will have to start from the begining, and inevitably flip around to something else. Don't get me wrong, the DLCS, AoM, BoK, and KoD are all great books, but ToHS blows them out of the water.

I must honestly say that the other books in the new DL stuff really dissapoint me as I look through the ToHS. Again, still great books, but why couldn't Soverign pull this off before?

Course, it would be nice to have more American printing presses that did not charge an arm and a leg. I would like to see some of my books published in places other than China and the like. But, if thats the price I have to pay for such detail, and pretty shiny pages, I will gladly suffer.

The way I look at it is that stuff gets manufactured/produced offshore so that we onshore can move on to something bigger and better. I know that's now always the reality, but it's the theory. Do we really want our citizens churning out plastic D&D minis when we could (theoretically) be training them to do so much more? It gives us an added emphasis to continually improve, rather than stagnate. Just my 2 cents.

I really want to see the picture behind the Table of Contents in full without being obscured, looks like a great picture.

The stats for Ladonna, Par-Salian, and Justarius were not listed in the book. Are they in the War of the Lance book?

Nope. At least not that I've seen yet.
