Okay, now here’s a couple that I’m looking forward to getting…<\/p>\n
The first two are game books: Serpent Kingdoms<\/a>, which is a D&D supplement about reptilian races and D20 Future<\/a>, which is, well, a D20 supplement for futuristic gaming. I’m looking forward to that second one, in particular, for all the cool Star Frontiers information that they’ve included. Star Frontiers was a great little science-fiction game that TSR put out back in the 80’s. It was smart, slick space-opera and it was really, really fun. So, back a couple of weeks ago when I read that Wizards of the Coast was putting all that info into the new D20 game, was really excited. Too bad that it isn’t due out until September! Luckily, Serpent Kingdoms is due out later this month. So, it looks like I’ll have more reading to do!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Okay, now here’s a couple that I’m looking forward to getting… The first two are game books: Serpent Kingdoms, which is a D&D supplement about reptilian races and D20 Future, which is, well, a D20 supplement for futuristic gaming.

\nSo is my third reading list book, Iron Council<\/a>, which is the third book set in the world of New Crobuzon. A very different and innovative fantasy series by an acclaimed author. It’s really a very interesting world filled with magical creatures, but not any elves! (Hooray!) This one seems to be set back in the city of New Crobuzon itself and promises to be a good one. (Okay, who am I kidding? I’m a drooling fanboy who would worship almost anything China Mi?ville would put out. There, are you happy?)<\/p>\n
