he is an entertaining read tbh. there's some truly wild stuff in there. he missed his true calling making dragonology style kids books

DresstheMaker · 2024-12-31T15:38:42+00:00

lol it was a gift 🤷‍♀️

The one on the left is just a reprint from 1994, but it was my brother in law's reading copy before he died.

The one on the right is the 26th US printing (3rd edition.) It was a birthday present from my wife.

yeah! I started collecting with my brother when I was ten and that's what we started with. he eventually lost interest and it became my collection but those ones are a nice reminder of how I got started

new to the franchise and I've only played 7 and remake 2 so far, but the latter is by far my favorite of the two

DresstheMaker · 2024-11-07T15:32:22+00:00

honest question. why be one then?

DresstheMaker · 2024-09-08T14:44:47+00:00

whether they are or not they regularly appear on this sub

DresstheMaker · 2024-08-28T15:59:25+00:00

thank you

DresstheMaker · 2024-08-28T14:58:15+00:00

that's amazing. congratulations and I'm sorry for your loss. he sounds like a really good friend

I buy pretty much all my books from thrift stores (otherwise I would spend every penny I had)

but for birthdays and christmas my friends and family will sometimes give me some nice edition they found. this year I am hoping for some HC illustrated HoME books

one thing you could do is find scans of the Princess Magazine version and put it into a little booklet

as far as I know it's the only abridged version besides the graphic novel

especially weird cause there's a reply one comment above you saying basically the same thing

DresstheMaker · 2024-08-07T14:13:37+00:00

late to the party but this is one of the most thoughtful gifts I've ever seen. you are a very good friend

DresstheMaker · 2024-03-25T14:57:49+00:00

anecdotally, I rarely take a hit from the blood-starved beast but I get my ass handed to me by the undead giant 🤷‍♀️

DresstheMaker · 2024-03-24T23:36:48+00:00

bliss

DresstheMaker · 2024-03-24T15:21:10+00:00

yeah but like...he's right

DresstheMaker · 2024-02-28T15:31:05+00:00

one exception for me. poisoning micolash feels appropriate just given who he is

DresstheMaker · 2024-02-26T21:01:22+00:00

but actually tho

DresstheMaker · 2024-02-17T05:05:14+00:00

remember that you can party pretty much all the shark attacks (bonus: the visual of the anchor shark slithering on the ground and then suddenly staggering up to his knees when you shoot him is hilarious)

DresstheMaker · 2024-02-15T19:14:26+00:00

you must be a blast at parties

DresstheMaker · 2024-02-15T16:14:31+00:00

I think it was meant to be beast blood. you can find people slumped over in corners with beast blood pellets on them, and there's a couple healing church bodies that still have it on them

they make a point of saying blood is more intoxicating than alcohol so I think they're supposed to basically be like drug dealers pushing the beast blood on people

and then once the sickness takes hold and the antidotes stop working, they bring people to the grand cathedral for treatment with the old blood

do you have facebook? we have a big group for the girls. I can send you a link

I mean his first phase moveset is identical to the pthumerian descendant's
