With character creation, detailed explanations of combat, skills, feats, and an impressive starting spell library, this book is a must for all players. If you're new, this is a wonderful text to get a feel for the game. As reference material, I give it an A+ (yes, even for Dungeon Masters).             The Player of Games71 reviews Iain M. Banks Orbit, 2008 Best of Banks, ONe of the best Scifi I've read Of all the Iain Banks scifi books I found this one of the most compelling. There was a sense of deep irony throughout the book as the master game player pits himself against a game that has consequences for an Empire. How he emerged from a low point of ennui, when he felt the the need to cheat in a board game to a master player in terms of life and death stakes was well drawn. The need to find a ...             Player's Handbook Volume 2 - Advanced Pickup and Seduction Secrets For Men Who Love Women & Sex (and Want ...5 reviews Tommy Orlando Secret Life Publishing, 2007 Want to have quick success? This is the book for you. This is one of the best books on seduction that i've read. It has good tips you can use right away and not a lot of fluff. Tommy is entertaining in his delivery, so it's a quick read, too. So you picked her up... Now what? This book has some good stuff on what to do after you get her home. It's great to have confidence in the bar or club, but a lot of these books fall flat when it comes ...             Player Piano81 reviews Kurt Vonnegut The Dial Press, 1999 Shocking through and through This book is a 5-star book for engineers and technologists, particularly those working for big corporations, but probably only a 3-star book for anybody else. (You can guess from my rating what I do.) Vonnegut creates hybrid eu/dystopia brought about by the ultimate success of American ingenuity and capitalism. Dr. Proteus is brilliantly and complexly written as a successful technologist ...             The 17 Essential Qualities of a Team Player: Becoming the Kind of Person Every Team Wants21 reviews John C. Maxwell Thomas Nelson, 2006 Great book to use to facilitate team discussion I used the 17 Essential Qualities of a Team Player as a book to use for team discussions affirming or confirming how the team would operate. The chapters are a quick read and the qualities described supporting a successful and harmonious workplace cover most required behaviors of a good team member. While John Maxwell's material is mostly from non-profit experiences, the stories and quotes ...             Dungeons & Dragons Player's Handbook: Roleplaying Game Core Rules, 4th Edition123 reviews Wizards RPG Team Wizards of the Coast, 2008 A great update to the system This book is the meat and potatoes of the new system. My favourite classes and race from the previous edition are missing from it, but I wouldn't knock even a half star off the rating for it as the system itself is just that much of an improvement. The system draws inspiration and concepts from ye olde BECM D&D rules, as well as AD&D. And it unmistakably evolved from the d20 rules at the ...             Hold'Em Poker for Advanced Players (Advance Player)77 reviews David Sklansky, Mason Malmuth Two Plus Two Pub., 1999 Excellent I was constantly breaking even before getting this book on online poker sites. After reading it, I took nearly all of the guesswork out of my playstyle and recently just bought a new guitar entirely with winnings. I recommend this book to anyone who already considers themselves decent at poker and already has good intuition as to spotting how others play to determine what they have... or ...             Player's Handbook II (Dungeons & Dragons d20 3.5 Fantasy Roleplaying)37 reviews David Noonan Wizards of the Coast, 2006 A Risk Worth Taking When I originally heard about this book, I was worried. I thought about how poorly they made Dungeon Master's Guide 2. However, this book turned out great! They added some great new classes and prestige classes. They really add to the game. One thing that's really nice is that it's not needed, but it just adds a couple new dimensions to the game. I will admit that I'm a sucker for more ...             Gentlemen and Players: A Novel (P.S.)16 reviews Joanne Harris Harper Perennial, 2007 SOME PLAYERS ARE NOT GENTLEMEN For this reader Gentlemen & Players by Joanne Harris is a blockbuster of a novel with more twists and turns than an amusement park thrill ride. Set at a British boys' school, this riveting tale plays out like a game of chess with each move and counter-move by the participants advancing the story toward its unexpected climax. The narrative itself covers a fifteen year period in the history of ...             Player's Handbook Volume 1 - Pickup and Seduction Secrets For Men Who Love Women & Sex (and Want More of Both)15 reviews Tommy Orlando Secret Life Publishing, 2007 Excellent for Overall Dating/Pickup Strategy - Changed my approach!! First of all, if you're looking for pickup lines or some kind of "magic tactic" that you simple need to memorize and repeat, word-for-word, this isn't your book. But those books don't work anyway... This book is a STRATEGY guide. And what's in here DOES work. This book is about getting your inner game together, so you don't need to recite canned scripts. It's about how you can become the ...             The Official Scrabble Players Dictionary140 reviews Merriam-Webster Merriam-Webster, 2005 Essential Having received numerous calls from my daughter in Colorado to settle disputes in on-going Scrabble games (mother: the all-wise source), I bought her a copy of the Scrabble Dictionary. She now enjoys peaceful Scrabble games with her family and can save her calls to Mom for chatty conversations about her adventurous daily life.             Complete Piano Player Omnibus Edition (Complete Piano Player Series)8 reviews Kenneth Baker Amsco Publications, 1985 well thought out lessons to help gradually gain piano skills I began learning the piano at the age of 5 and stopped at 10 to give time to the clarinet. Since then I have lost my coordination between my left and right hand. This book recomposes a lot of familiar, old classics (ob di la was my favorite and brought back so much memories!) in varying skill progressions so that each new lesson is a build up of a previous lesson. In just a month, I am already ...             Forgotten Realms Player's Guide: A 4th Edition D&D Supplement (Forgotten Realms Supplement) Wizards RPG Team Wizards of the Coast, 2008 The complete guide for building Forgotten Realms characters!

Chris is constantly busy with ...             Special Edition Player's Handbook (Core Rulebook I) (Dungeons & Dragons d20 3.5 Fantasy Roleplaying)17 reviews Wizards of the Coast, 2004 Very Good very handy for playing the game and the cover looks really good. there are extra things in it that is why it is version 3.5. the special edition part is more just the cover but is still very good             Player's Handbook (AD&D 2nd Ed Fantasy Roleplaying)116 reviews David Zeb Cook TSR Inc., 1995 oooohhh yeah I bought the third Ed and wished I could have used the pages to wipe my backside. Second Edition is classic, the best and the final edition of true AD&D playing. Save your 3rd ed money and buy a good used copy of second Ed and keep them sparkling new. The end of a true Era in imaginative gaming.             The Guitar Player Book: The Ultimate Resource for Guitarists2 reviews Backbeat Books, 2007 If you like Guitar Player magazine, you will LOVE this book.

There are other necessary books, but those are the DM's responsibility. For twenty bucks you can get the necessities for players: the Player's Handbook and a full set of dice. The PHB, while softcover, is otherwise identical to the hardcover version, and the dice are excellent and very cool. Since the list price of the softcover PHB is the same ...             Player's Guide to Faerun (Dungeons & Dragons d20 3.5 Fantasy Roleplaying, Forgotten Realms Accessory)19 reviews Richard Baker, James Wyatt Wizards of the Coast, 2004 Useful Upgrade to 3.5 I'm always a little leary about buying "Player's Guides" since I'm a DM most of the time, but this one was almost necessary to correct the errors and region system in the original Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting (Dungeons & Dragons). Also upgrades spells from the Magic of Faerun!
