Ptolus: City By The Spire by Monte Cook arrived today. Imp’s Shop has done an outstanding job in getting the books to me with free shipping & handling. It’s not yet available on amazon.de; there’s a 2nd hand copy available from Amazon Marketplace @ €183,52 (instead of the €120,00 I paid). And guess what. The book’s from the UK. Amazing. Perhaps I should get into the resale market. 😄

The book looks impressive, and it’s heavy. They should classify it as a weapon.
You can also buy it as a 800 page PDF. Deadly!
I also bought a printed copy of the Player’s Guide, because I prefer reading stuff on paper, and because printing things myself results in bad production values (black and white, no glossy paper, time wasted printing, time wasted trying to print two-sided, and so on).
I also received The Vault of Larin Karr by W.D.B. Kenower from Necromancer Games. Cool. This product might actually see some use before we’re getting to Ptolus, as I have in mind to connect it with my current CrucibleOfFreya campaign, including the Tomb of Abysthor by Clark Peterson and Bill Webb. We’ll see.

Perhaps I should move my Sunday group to Ptolus, and let my Wednesday group play the dungeon crawls? They like combat. (Remember my simple RPG classification scheme: Rank combat, riddles, and interaction according to preference.) And I found a page on the web describing Tomb of Abysthor as follows:
The adventure has several components: riddles, combat, mystery, combat, intrigue, and, of course, combat. ¹
Hehehehe. 😄
