HERO’S HANDBOOK: DRAGONBORN
GMG4411, 64 pages, $15.99
“Do not fear death, only the shame of defeat.” Born of dragons and steeped in war, the greatest warriors have always been the dragonborn. Herein, players and DMs alike will learn the secrets of the last of the warrior-kings, the sinister plots of the Cult of Apophis, the mysteries of the Forbidden City, and the siren song of long-lost homelands.

RANDOM ESOTERIC CREATURE GENERATOR
GMG4375, 32 pages, $12.99
Looking to instill a little fear in your game? Then look no further! Nothing brings the thrill – and terror – of discovery to a game like new monsters. Faced with the unknown, mighty-thewed heroes tremble in their hauberks, wizened wizards fumble with their spell books, and even the most audacious of rogues hesitate before plunging into battle.

DCC #59: MISTS OF MADNESS
GMG5057, 32 pages, $2.00
The two dollar module is back! This 4E-compatible module sends the heroes to an ancient cave occupied by cultists dedicated to the Mists of Madness. Defended by ancient death traps and weird arcane seals, the caves conceal an antediluvian vault, the resting place of an archlich whose reign predates recorded history in the Known Realms. Undisturbed for untold eons, now the machinations of the cultists and their eladrin master threaten to awaken the archlich, to dire ends that none can predict.

Some interesting titles along with some surprising ones.

Forgotten Heroes: Fang, Fist and Song - I'm surprised you're allowed to produce your own version of the bard and barbarian class (unless you plan to stop selling this once the PHB2 comes out?). I won't be getting it myself as the PHB2 delivers more variety and has everything except Monks. I will, however, eagerly await future Forgotten Heroes books.

Hero's Handbook: Dragonborn - I definitely like the idea of this line of books, although I'm not 100% sure I'll be getting this for my Forgotten Realms campaign, I'll definitely have a look at it. If it looks like I can tweak it or outright place the locations in Abeir or parts of Abeir that are now in Toril, I'll definitely get this.

The Random Esoteric Creature Generator - This looks like a terrific resource, although with it being system neutral I'm unsure how well I'll be able to use it for 4e. I'll definitely check this out though.

Blackdirge’s Dungeon Denizens - On my to buy list. This looks like a terrific book :D

This type of thing is right up my ally, I'm an adventure junkie, and love to have a ton laying about to pick up and run.

I'd love to see more of these at slightly higher levels, or compilations with various ranges, such as 2 heroic, 2 paragon and 2 epic. My son, who loves to run short two night adventures, might also love this.

So with the Advanced player's guide, and (hopefully) the playtest coming up we'll have three versions of the Barbarian in the next few months.
