Great book! I have enjoyd reading this book very much.But if you haven't read the previous one (Crypt of the Shadowking) y recommend you to read it, becouse it's as good as this one.

The plot here is placed in time sortly after Crypt of the Shadowmage. The plot is great, and, even when you can see what is happening, you don't know for sure [...]

Player's Guide to Faerun

Sadly, Wizards of the Coast (or Hasbro, you decide) has become the
bastion of corporate, "for-profit" literature at the expense of
publishing quality and gaming innovation...

The
trend of the 3.5 revision, admittedly largely unecessary and done
primarily to renew a revenue stream from gamers willing to be duped
into buying it (by some of its own authors!), continues with this weak
text.

Short, with minimal additions and *many* only trivial
revisions to 3.0 material, this book [...]

The Alabaster Staff is about a young street performer whose life is
occupied by figuring out where her next meal will come from, where she
can spend the next night....and sometimes manages to find a little
piece of happiness by entertaining children with her remarkable sleight
of hand. She's also an unwilling thief who's sworn never to steal
again.

Then she's suddenly drawn into a twisting plot of double-crossings and
betrayals. At the center of it all, an artifact of great power - the [...]

Crypt of the Moaning Diamond by Rosemary Jones in the forth and final book in a series of stand alone novels collectively called The Dungeons. The books in this series are; Depths of Madness: The Dungeons by Erik Scott de Bie, The Howling Delve: The Dungeons (Forgotten Realms)by Jaleigh Johnson, and Stardeep: The Dungeons by Bruce Cordell. This is Ms. Jones' first novel for Wizards of the Coast, though she has published short stories in the past. I have said in past reviews, I really appreciate [...]

Swords of Dragonfire by Ed Greenwood is the second book of the Knights of Myth Drannor trilogy. The first book, Swords of Eveningstar (Forgotten Realms: The Knights of Myth Drannor, Book 1)was released in 2006 and the third and final bok, The Sword Never Sleeps, will be released in August of 2008. This trilogy is intended to be a prequel for the Knights of Myth Drannor, to give them more `face' time and to better explain how they came together and what some of their early motivations are. Most f [...]

The Black Bouquet

I read "the Alabaster Staff" before reading "the Black Boughet" (both
being from the Forgotten Realms series, "the Rogues," and I must say I
am very dissappointed. "the Rogues" had so much potential being as they
were focusing on one of the more popular (and in my opinion, more
interesting) character classes in the fantasy genre and roleplaying.
This book was a let down from top to bottom, with only a few shining
moments.

First
of all, the main object of every single c [...]

Forgotten Realms Adventures

Adventures is one of the BEST Forgotten Realms accessories ever made,
along with Old Empires, Dreams of Red Wizards, and Moonsea! It sheds
light on the Heartlands, but also on other areas such as Baldur's Gate,
and the independent cities along the coast of the Sea of Fallen Stars
to name a few. Each nation's/city state's distinct culture, history,
and civilization will win you over for sure!
