The appendix arrived ahead of schedule and in the exact condition it was advertised.

I had not seen any of the items described in its pages for years and years, so was delighted when I pored over the listings once again.

Excellent service!!

Spelljammer MC is one of those accessories that an experienced gamer can't live without but a younger gamer will find totally uninteresting. Or perhaps not - it all depends on the taste and how likely he is to become a writer. As a monstrous compendium from a long-dead campaign, in the old hole-punched style, with black-and-white pictures, it attracts gamers like flies. Fortunately it is also relatively cheap (not for its worth, mind you, but in a general sense - it costs ten dollars in mint condition) and is easy to find either at the local large hobby store or online at the Wizards of the Coasts site (...). The compendium will not displease the refined, experienced AD&Der looking for something different: the closest thing I can compare it to is either the old Traveller or the new Alternity. Many alien, twisted, warped things, and a couple of robotic terrors spice up the melange. Don't pass it by.

Here's the compendium of some of the most bizarre creatures ever found in D&D - this set includes the minions of Chaos that come "from beyond"... not only are they fun for pure Dungeons & Dragons, but we've successfully run a D&D/Cthulhu campaign using these beasties as the main source of terror. Too much fun, and hard to find!
