The 4th printing of the Player's Handbook is fantastic!
Hey guys.
Just got mine in the mail today.
-The book just feels solid.
-The cover is a bit darker than my M&T which makes the yellow bands more golden and the green more regal.
-The cover art is wonderful - not too old-school and not too new school - just right!
-The little tweaks to the interior layout and the added content are great.
*Fantastic job Trolls! You guys have every right to be proud of this product.*
I would have paid $40 for this one (and may order another anyway).
Now to crack open "Of Gods & Monsters."

Dang it people. I am going to have to order mine. I have my softbound copy from GenCon, but my addiction to both hardbound rpg books and to new TLG stuff is a double whammy. I have been kind of waiting for the CKG *shrugs at incoming laughter* Well, I know there will be a collector set in a slip case with the CKG, M&T,and PHB, so I am trying to get by with my softbound copy (and old hardbound copies, lol).

The xp chart for multiclasses, both 2 and 3 classes look the table over carefully you will notice there are a couple of 1's missing.
No sir, I do not believe this is errata. This fact was brought up to the Trolls during editing and was not corrected.

As the Trolls have seemed to indicate, the PHB1.4 will be around for a good long while. The book is the best looking book TLG has put together to date. The construction is solid, the paper is perfect, and it really does look like a book that should be more than $25.00. With the bits of errata added in, and the new spells and updated classes (man, that new Barbiarian is just so awesome!), this is the definative Castles & Crusades Players Handbook.

You are correct Omote. This is not errata and was designed this way. Another example of this table can be found in Crusader issue 4 where this multiclass option first made its appearance.

I was pretty much the same way. Then I noticed how much wear and tear were actually on my other two PHBs.
I just suffer from RPG A.D.D. It had a shiny new cover, some flashy new pics, and 'fancier' classes. A win all around for my pea sized attention!

Of course, I'm still waiting for my FLGS to get the joker in.

The new PHB books are slowly making their way out there. My FLGS in Cleveland Ohio is getting a supply of C&C stuff in today or tomorrow.

Yeah, it came fairly quickly to Canada. It's not like I live in a major city center or even close to one, but my FLGS got it pretty quickly even if they had to do a special order.
Now just ot read them and maybe post to get players to play it.
BTW I love the paper they have chosen. I wish more companies would take note and do the same.

Ya. Me and Steve had some long convos about that. Trying to find a paper that showed up both art and text better was a bit of a chore. I guess paper type isn't called what it used to be any more.

I picked up my copy of the new PH, actually I got two, plus two copies of the new M&T. Goodness through and through!
I'll seriously consider getting a second copy of the PH, if I get a group going. I can't depend on everyone getting their own PH (Though I will try) I don't want cheese powder fingerprints all over my personal copy. I'd rather get a players Players Handbook.

I'll add my two cents as well and say that this is an excellent product. Good job Trolls!
I really like the new Barbarian and Illisionist abilities.

Just got my PHB + M&T last week after sitting-on-the-fence for a few years about C&C or other old-skool/new-systems versus just using my AD&D 1e stuff (note: back in '80 when I started with 1e, I just never saw the need to up-editions after that, 1e had enough breadth, etc, for me).
Ordered the C&C books (CKG also...so I'll get it once out) because, after downloading the C&C Quickstart PDF, I was hooked on the ease, elegance, and versatility of this system -- not least is the ability to use all my 1e modules, etc. Wow!
And, lo and behold, these are simply gorgeous books. In all areas: layout, information, artwork (sweet!), paper (as was mentioned above), and feel!!
Now to study the rules so I can start a gaming group up here in the woods...and treat them ever-so-kindly and nicely, right?
