I ha...Oh, cool - glad you'll find this helpful. I have a list of upcoming titles I'm going to do. <br /><br />I'm curious about your thoughts on the book. I feel like it was a huge amount of work to put together but it really seemed to have just slipped under the radar. I think if you're looking for a standard "arms and equipment list" then you'll be disappointed, but I rather liked that it focused more on the history and the reasons why certain cultures may have used such materials and tools. There's only so much "another sharp pointy thing that does 1d8 damage" that I can take!Martin R.

I wasn't much of collector then as I was too busy working.<br />But, back in the day known as the 80s, I was a ravenous reader of the GURPS source books, and reading your review made me think of those times. And after GURPS came out, it seemed TSR followed the historical source book idea by comming out with the HR supplements which were some of my favorite things to read, RPG related.<br />So, I went ahead and bought the PDF from Stone to Steel, going to peruse this tome in my down time.Random Wizardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16200875405900408519noreply@blogger.com
