A nice haul!

Are there many significant differences between the Wrath of Immortals Set (billed as being the ideal companion to the D&D RC) and the Mentzer Immortal Set? I'm just curious since I've recently been able to get the books for D&D Set 5 in very nice shape.

(I don't mean to thread jack but the seeing both items listed reminded me of this question).

Equally nice score on Lace & Steel... I've only heard of the game but it sounds like an interesting concept in terms of combat.

Yes, there are. WotI re-images the Gods, in a sense, and provides a campaign-ending / re-defining adventure. The Mentzer version assumes the PCs develop into the state of Immortality, whereas WotI assumes you start as one (though there are means to develop into one if desired.) Some themes and concepts are in both, but WotI is, in a sense, Immortals II. For me, I like the Immortal-level magic and artifact creation; don't really care for the attribute tables to 100, or the 36 levels of Godhood, but whatever... I know enough game stuff to change what I like with ease.

I've only just gotten it, and opened it, so I haven't read it much, but it seems to be card-based, and not dice-based. Very interesting, especially the sorcery cards; I do wonder what the tarot deck is for, but I've not delved into the rules. Seems to be a very simple game, intuitive even. And, with a designer named Paul Kidd, its just oozing with swashbucklery.

Nice presents. I think I'd like to get me the Complete Bard's Handbook, and D&D Immortals.

Most excellent! I really liked the Complete Book of Humanoids, and really want to run a C&C campaign with it one day.

I never had the Immortals Boxed set back in the day, so we ended up retiring the only two characters that made it past the Masters set to become Immortals. Would love to revisit that old (Gah, could it be almost twenty years ago?!) campaign now that I do have it.
