A Great Addition to Any Game!.......2007-09-27

After reading the other reviews of these tiles, I was expecting something pretty good, but when I saw them I was still blown away. These tiles are such good quality that I would recommend them to anyone. These will get a lot of use for sure!

Excellent artwork.......2007-09-26

These tiles come in handy for any dungeon. To make them long lasting and to protect from spills just mount a sheet of glass on 4 supports over the tiles and you won't have to worry about stains or the tiles being knocked out of place.

Mapping was never so fun or easy........2007-05-07

If you use miniatures, then you probably own a set or two. These are durable tiles that are fairly universal for dungeon settings. Buy two or three sets if you need to expand. I like 'em and you can't beat the price.

Excellent.......2007-04-22

I had steered clear of these because I envisioned them to be like the thin tiles in the DMG. However, after reading the other review (thanks Scott Stokes :)) I decided to buy the first set. After opening the first set, I ordered the other two immediately. I haven't used them yet, because my group is off for a couple weeks but I'm sure they'll be a hit. They are very thick and durable. I would definitely recommend them to any DM who wants to add a little realism to their battles/minis.

Very nice art Sturdy Stock.......2007-02-12

I was not prepared for how thick and heavy these would be. They will last a long time.
The Art is excellent as well. The hallways and many other tiles have alternate uses on back side, so the GM can hide these way until it is to late for his players.
My only complaint is they don't interconnect and they slide around the table a bit. I don't know how this could be corrected and still keep everything tidy, so I am very happy.

Great.......1999-10-05

This book has it all. It is a must have for any wizard. With the other 3 books you will have thousands of spells that are easy to find and understand.

Useful but unbalanced.......1999-06-25

The breakdown of the spells into various groups helps players check spells fast.

But beware, play balance of the spells are poorly done for nearly all spells cast by Elminster, Khelbun, Seven sisters and the major characters in FR.

The rest are alright execpt for some balantly munchkin ones (unidirectional wall of force??). Discretion required.

Pretty Cool.......1999-06-25

A good compilation of spells. I like the tables in the front of this (the first) book. I understand this is not meant to be a rule book, but some help on where to find rules on chronomancers would be nice, since there are a fair number of spells for them in here. Recommend getting 1st and 4th books before obtaining rest so that you get the tables and index.

very useful. great spell tables and specialties........1999-05-25

this volume was the pinacle of the spell compendium. It has spells listed in dozens of different lists with different themes. It includes many specialties from dragon magazine. it also includes optional rules like psionic enchantments and spell paths. A+ material.

The cream of the crop........1999-05-11

Anyone who thinks that this book is redundant, or just repeats spells, is insane. Thousands of spells were collected from every adventure, and magazine to make this the most complete listing of spells avalible. Many have also been updated to work with AD&D rules.

Pokemon for Dummies!.......2000-04-17

Let me start by saying I had no idea who or what a Pokemon was before I made this purchase(with the intention of learning more about this craze that all the children are into these days.) My 9 year old has decided that she wants to start collecting and since I didn't know anything at all, zero,zip. I wanted to know at least something about Pokemon. After my purchase, my husband and I now know more than we ever really wanted to know about Pokemon! :0) Excellent resource for those just starting out or just "us" slow learners. Very easy to understand and just as easy to refer back to as a reference. I would highly recommend you purchase Pokemom Made Simple guides. They are well worth the money and not as expensive as some of the Pokemon books that are circulating.

The extra large size and interesting illustrations in this coloring book have made this my children's favorite for many months.This is not your typical throw away coloring book.My kids actually enjoy coming back to an already started drawing and adding to it. The extra large size also gives us a chance as a family to draw together on one page.As a mom of two pre-schoolers I highly recommend it.

Excellent resource for campaign-level adventure hooks.......2000-04-30

It's hard to explain just how much treasure is buried betweenthese covers. You get ...pages of information on the intriguingworld of Mystara - perfectly supplementing the Gazeteer series withexclusive information! Highlights include: Maps of the world, the location, government, resources, descriptions, histories, monsters, and famous personages of every realm, detailed breakdowns of every major army and navy in the world, complete with stats; biographies and stats on every major ruler; and best of all, ...pages of adventure hooks, set throughout the calendar year of 1010! It's the most complete, easy way to begin a spectacular campaign in the world of Mystara, for D&D or AD&D. By legendary "Hollow World" writer Aaron Allston.

Not that great a book.......2000-03-12

Poor Wizard's Almanac tries to tie together all of the nations of the D&D campaign world into one easily digestible work, but with poor results. This book lists nations on one-by-one basis, dealing with each in an extremely limited way (listings include only the basic geography, customs, army size, and major sites. No maps of any sort are included for the small-scale locations, although they would be appreciated). Further on, the world history is dealt with on an event-by-event basis, leading to a section describing the current status of all things. The listings are quite disorganized and can be quite confusing, and while they provide some amount of flavor to the campaign, most of the data is generic (and unnecessary) filler.

Book Description

These are the most magical and colorful mazes you'll ever see! Solve all of them and you'll free the Ancient Wizard from captivity and rescue the town of Wigglewand from the evil sorcerer Wrinklewit. On the way, you'll face many obstacles and great danger. First, find the correct tools and use them properly: one maze winds through the library and over to the Wizard's handbook, while another will bring you to seven wands, each of a different color and with a different power. Climb up the spire to capture the snow owl; he will be your companion through the journey. Make your way safely through the caves without falling down the cliff. Avoid the baby dragons' fire (and their even scarier parents). Slash your way through Wrinklewit's guards, locate the key to the jail where the Wizard is imprisoned, open it...and celebrate your a-maze-ing victory!

Not exactly what i spec.......2007-03-18

i let me go with the view of the book. never knew it was for kids, i just want my super free shipping. Anyway, the book is thin but it has very good draws

Wonderful pictures.......2007-01-13

I just recently purchased this book and must say that the graphics are amazingly done. I admit that it is a bit hard to find some of the items in the pictures but that just makes it more challenging. The artwork alone is enough to purchase this book.

A Little Gross for Me.......2005-02-17

My son thought that this book was gross! In the Woodsman's Hut cobwebs are hanging off a man's eyeballs, and in Smelly Sewers there are rats and ugly people wading in slimy green water. Giant's Kitchen has a dead dog hanging over a railing that is missing part of his leg and bugs are in the food. The Spellroom shows a boy halfway turned into a pig with electricity around his body and his shoes look like they just flew off his feet. Sailor's Rest shows a bunch of ugly, drunk pirates fighting and betting with cards, and there is a dead guy that looks like he got killed by a pirate holding a knife. But he did like Octopus Ocean and Dragon's Cave. 4 out of 28 pages to him were okay.

Great Book.......2005-01-04

I read this book with my 4 year old! I loved it and so did he! The book was harder than what he could do, but instead of finding every item- we would look for just one of the many. It is difficult, and I did find that I needed to "cheat" at times. The pictures are wonderfully done. However, I warn you if you are looking to read this to your younger child- I just spent an hour trying to settle my son into bed because he said he was scared because the book gave him the "creepies". I don't know what it was that scared him exactly, but it seemed that he was having a hard time understanding it was really only a story book.

Part "Seek & Find," Part Logic Puzzle and Part Story.......2004-10-20

I bought this book for my eight year old because of the gorgeous illustrations. I'm not much at all for seek and find books, but I thought he would like it.

I found, however, that when he and I sat down together we became completely cuaght up in the book. It is rather difficult, but I guess some kids are better at it than others because Dylan loved it and did much better than I did.

What makes it fascinating and much more interesting than other seek & find books is that there's a story that weaves through the different pages. It's really part seek & find, part logic puzzle and part story. And, of course, the illustrations are beautifully done. I thought the characters--which you really sort of get fond of after following them through the different puzzles were rather reminiscent of Lewis Caroll.

Anyway, my son and I had a wonderful time going through the book together, and I'm definitely going to try others by the same author.

Book Description

Cards, coins, rings, and even the human predilection for wonder may all be expertly manipulated with the help of this expert guide to favorite tricks and illusions of the magician's art.

Professor Henri Garenne, the urbane author of this manual on conjuring, intended it as a "guide for amateurs and young beginners." Starting with the basics of palming objects and using props, and progressing through more than 200 tricks, this distinctive volume is a rich resource for the new magician or the armchair prestidigitator.

The lessons involve cards, coins, rings, balls, and handkerchiefs. They explain mesmerizing tricks like The Flying Glass of Water and To Produce Eggs from a Person's Mouth. Even more astounding are The Indian Basket trick, The Living Head in a Bottle, and-for a truly stupendous effect-A Lady Suspended in the Air Without Any Visible Support! And those looking for instruction in ventriloquism and thought reading will not be disappointed. The secrets are here.

Elegant vintage engravings demonstrate the tricks and add to the charm of Professor Garenne's delightful treatise.

A Magicians collection.......2006-03-03

This book is a great primer for the introduction of magic. It is well organized, and the illustrations are classic. Though much of the tricks are classic, there are tricks in the book still used today by top magicians like Lance Burton (e.g. sword and card trick). I would recommend it for any magicians library.

Beautiful Little Book starting with the Cover Design!.......2002-01-11

Hard to believe this was originally published in 1886!! This 206 page book is pure delight from beginning to end, with very clear illustrated explanations on Palming,Card and Coin Tricks,Ring,Hat,Ball,and Handkerchief tricks, and a lot besides.Perhaps you will not be totally convinced that they all work, and you may feel some of these acts are not completely described, but you have to admit it's a nicely done work. As far as the THOUGHT READING described in last pages, I am not convinced that by feeling a person's pulse you'll be able to pick a previously disclosed object on a table, but it may be possible! Worth trying at your next little get together,along with an Ouija Board! The book and it's contents are so well done/designed you can be sure it will be browsed thru and admired probably into the 22nd century!!

Great, Detailed Look at 19th Century Illusions and Magic!.......2001-07-23

How do they do that? That's the question this book answers. In so doing, it will extend your imagination to help you decipher illusions for yourself in the future.

I had more fun reading this book than any other "how to" book I have seen this year. As a result, I feel this book deserves more than five stars. What captured my attention was the careful demonstration of how the assumptions of viewers cause them to be misled by the practiced illusionist. I learned more from seeing the details of how the hand is quicker than the eye in this book than I have from all the scientific books I have read about perception and how the brain works. The book's examples will spill over into making readers more usefully observant in all areas of life.

The Art of Modern Conjuring was originally published in 1886. The publisher has done a nice job of keeping the feel of the original (especially with the cover) while providing an easy-to-use volume. Although I have read many books about simple magic tricks and illusions, this one was more revealing and more interesting than any other. I strongly recommend it for those who want to learn how to do simple illusions and for those who want to understand what appealed to families and audiences in the late 19th century. The book is greatly enhanced by the many illustrations that carefully demonstrate how to make the illusions work.

The book was designed as a "guide for amateurs and young beginners."

The subjects covered include basic skills, various illusions, how to assemble an act, and how to handle an audience. Among illusions, you will find out about essential skills like palming and passes, and how to do tricks with cards, coins, wedding rings, handerchiefs, balls, hats, candles, animals, string, flying, and inexhaustible sources. You will also find out how spiritualist illusions, seances, and thought reading are conducted. Over 200 illusions are covered in detail. Some are described in as many as four ways to conduct them!

To me, the best parts included how to create the clothing and equipment that you need to make the illusions work. You will learn where special pockets and trays are needed, and how to change the perspective to cause viewers to assume the wrong thing.

Some of the basic principles were interesting too. "Never tell your audience beforehand what you are going to do." Whatever you say, understate what you are about to perform (a few simple tricks before you make the Eiffel Tower disappear!). "Never perform the same trick twice before the same audience." You must not look at your hands. You need a wand to offer "a plausible pretext for many necessary movements."

After you become more savvy about illusions from this book, think about where else illusions are constructed for your benefit that rely on your false assumptions. For example, used car lots often spray "new car smell" into the interiors of newer cars they are selling. Many people misdescribe themselves when looking for a job or a date. Some people pretend to be other people on the Internet. What is the reality of those situations? How should your reaction to them be changed?

Check all the angles to see what's really going on!

Book Description

There's magic in the air--because the wizard has arrived to bring you some fantastic puzzles to conjure up fun, fun, fun! Along with knights, dragons, princesses, fairies, and other fanciful folk, he's whipped up some special challenges that you just can't resist. Prove your grasp of logic to the master by determining how many anti-ogre potions he has to hand out, which disguises each of five squires is wearing, and what emblems adorn the shields of the finest knights in Camelot. Solve the case of the "robbing elves." Come up with a plan that Sir Good and Sir Pure can use to cross a river with all their supplies. Show you're mathematically inclined with number conundrums. Don't worry if you're having a little trouble coming up with the answers; pages with special hints will help you figure it all out!
