Draconomicon is fun for picking and choosing ideas, not necessarily taking the book wholescale. In my opinion, it's a fun read and very pretty to look at, too.

It's a book that, from several anecdotes I've heard, you can take somewhere and get noticed. Usually in a good way.

I agree with the pretty to looka at, and it is noticeable.  I personally don't think it was worth what I paid for it, but I already have it now, so I'll probably use it somehow...

Draconomicon - The absolutely geekiest looking D&D book to be seen with in a public place.

I've always wanted to play a dragon...shame no DM allows it >.<

No sane DM would allow it.  I'd give it a spin in a PbP on these forums, but I'm inexperienced, so that'd be asking for real trouble.

I would disagree. I could potentially see a "sane" DM allowing a Dragon PC, especially using the rules in Draconomicon or the "savage" progressions that have been featured in Dragon magazine.

-Elven Doritos
Sane? No!

Well yes, as the alternate PC method mentioned makes for a manageable game of it.  But with all the game-breakers nowadays, you'd be hard-pressed to find a DM who would run such a game.  and besides, I thought you said SS was outdated?

Yea, I'm not talking a full-sized dragon here, but the progression created in Draco to start as a Wyrmling. It would actually be really cool to watch a single dragon PC age + grow between campaigns as the other PCs die off and time goes on.

Anybody remember the old 2e Council of Wyrms setting, where players actually DID have dragon characters?  Like, the real deal?

Quote from: Natural 20As of right now, I have a reasonably small collection of books...  I am definitely looking into the XPH though, as I've paged through it several times and it looks good.

XPH is, to me, the forth Core book.  It is fantabulous.

Tell me this is a joke.

Yep, I have that.  Never played with it much, but I will say one thing for it: when your PCs can fly and are as powerful as dragons, there's really no possibility of railroading.  My biggest beef with the system was the Council itself - it struck me as too limiting and artificial.  I wanted a system where an evil dragon could carve a fief out of some mortal kingdom, not be limited by a "big brother" Council of all colors.

I really only use the Core 3.  The only other books I have were given to me as gifts:

- Council of Wyrms, 2nd ed
- Manual of the Planes, 3rd ed
- Arms and Equipment Guide, 2nd ed

And I think I had the ranger's handbook for 2nd ed too, but I must have lost it somewhere along the way.  I don't really see any of the expansions as neccessary - but then again, I don't actually play D&D all that much, which I suppose gives me the luxury to design campaigns and not bother with the instant stats and ideas that the splatbooks provide.

I thought it funny, in a Nobby Nobbs sort of way.  Or maybe a Fred Colon sort of way. !dodge

Stop referring to Discworld in very out-there ways! Or else... I will be laughing again! ;)

I currently have every Non-Eberron/Dragonlance/Wheel of Time, Non-adventure/Location 3.X books that WotC has put out(and quite a few of the Third party materials as well). I also have a whole lot of out of print chainmail pamphlet-AD&D 2e stuff(with plans to finish getting all the Birthright and Dark Sun Material). I use my entire library of RPG books, print outs, etc. and consider at least most of the books to be worth the price. The only books I seriously wish I hadn't paid with real money for are Races of the Dragon, Complete Psionic, and the Eberron Campaign Setting(I loathe this setting but I like taking bits and pieces though).
