Thoughts...?...Hmmm...this tome is a definite improvement over the old Psionics Handbook.
I know we've only been presented with a little preview material (both online, and in Dragon), but I've been really impressed with the revised psionics system we've seen so far.
As well as that, I'm more than a little intrigued by some of the gallery images that illustrate the PrCs from the book. I'm looking forward to making extensive use of that material.
The Dromites look interesting too...

Excited!!
I'm playing a PW in a FR campaign now and can't wait for the revised version. The changes that they've hinted at, make it seem much easier to be a PW in a "normal" party.
I like some of the new powers and the races look amazing.
Some of the new pictures are really exciting as well.

| The more I see, the more I'm impressed. A much better revision, I say. I wait for the day it's available with great anticipation. |

And when dark elves mingle with the lighter races, the offspring invariably take after the dark parent. It is all much the same. That which is greater shall prevail. Our numbers increase steadily, both through birth and conquest. The dark elves are the dominant race, so ordained by the gods." Ka'Narlist of the Ilythiiri. |

On a semi-related note, I've been rattling my bones, striving to find plot ideas that could help me POP the (Skinner/Marrow-inspired) 'Osteomancer' class from Dragon #317 into one of my campaigns...

I've been reading up about a certain power included in the new 'Psionics' book that allows a PC to 'graft-a-weapon' to his/her body. Does anybody know anything about this?.

Sounds like Body Weaponry from Psionics section in the 1ed PHB
Basicly you could turn your arm into a long sword. How works is best illustrated in the movie Terminator 2, when the T1000 kills John Connors stepfather |

| FRP Games and RPG Shop Online are both offering this product for sale now. Thus, it should be in stores by now or just about to come in. |

Yes, and here's hoping that WotC Australia has no further problems with their advanced orders... . I should have mine, sometime next week.
I'm still in disbelief with having to wait for so long for my (pre-ordered, mind you) copy of PGtF...

Yes indeed Sirius, I'm still awaiting the arrival of my copy of the PGtF.
Although, I've been assured by the Australian WotC distributor, that the shipment arrived last Wednesday, so my copy should be arriving any day now...

They are more dishonest that Cyric

That's not always been the case Dargoth, in fact up until these events with the PGtF, I'd never had a problem with the distributors that I use.
In most cases, I receive new gaming products several days before they are released in the US. For example, I'd had the Van Richten's Guide to the Shadow Fey arrive on my doorstep six days before it's official US release date. The only real problem of course, is the lack of other gamers to discuss the new tomes with.

If you folks from Australia are going to keep using code names, let the rest of us know some of them. Cyric? Walrus? For all we know you could be plotting a siege against Candlekeep.  |

A mere fraction compared to how long I've been waiting to use this

Walrus is the name of the Distributor WOTC AU use in Australia |
