The two most important were the Core Rulebook and the Bestiary.<br /><br />The secondary books were- one resource book for each of the three Roles (or Classes, if you will)- Expert's Handbook, Adept's Handbook, Warrior's Handbook.<br /><br />And the True20 Companion is a very worthy resource. But here's the thing about that book. The Core rulebook was re-released in paperback with some minor corrections and where the last several pages had contained five or so settings, the settings were replaced with what was presented in the True20 Companion.<br /><br />So be careful not to duplicate if you come across the core rules in paperback AND the Companion. Those two books are a bit redundant.<br /><br />Also worth mentioning, if you find any of the three Blue Rose books- they are True20. And really nice settings to boot. Blue Rose is the game that True20 came from, actually. Blue Rose, The Blue Rose Companion, The World of Aldea.<br /><br />Let me know if you have any other questions!Jeffrywith1ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04657915338624925974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-509636130932071301.post-28347152214604080432012-06-20T19:08:31.157-05:002012-06-20T19:08:31.157-05:00I think the last piece of the puzzle we need is a ...I think the last piece of the puzzle we need is a reliable, affordable color e-ink for guys like me who can't concentrate on an LCD screen. Also,I could stop killing trees. :)<br /><br />About that 7th Sea scene: two or three of us have a small 7th Sea library picked up when AEG left the game for dead*, which gets passed around a lot. The late comers pick up the PDFs they need, and years later we're still running in this crazy world they made with this quirky little system (I cannot say 7th Sea is without some significant flaws, but you can work around them, and you break more stuff in NotEurope without amateur historians getting up in arms.)<br /><br />Since I'm going to a con in the next few weeks, what books *should* I be looking for if I wanted to get a taste of True 20?<br /><br />*Yes, I guess I am still bitter. Someone else can pick up the True20 torch without legal troubles. I still haven't seen a swashbuckling game capture the hobby's imagination like 7th Sea did, and yet it was ignored after a jump on the d20 bandwagon dove headlong into the 3.5 Crash.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650450224211946127noreply@blogger.com
