Darkside Powers/Ranks ^ No matter if you are using this for table top play or even if you simply RP on message boards online, these books help you with the ranks, powers, etc. I use this book as a great resource for all of my Rping. I stand by the books for everything. :)
Just what I asked for ^ This book was just what I asked for and was in the exact condition as presented to me on the web.
Star Wars- The Dark Side Sourcebook ^ I just recieved Star Wars, Dark Side Sourcebook and I love it. I have not put it down since. It has help me create and play a dark sider better than before.
Too bad delivery ^ Hey men ! what's up too long delay. wait from february and now in May still waiting until july !!
Hope that you give me a discount for items due to the lack of buisness.
Is it EVIL? ^ To clear up the confusion of one of the previous reviewers, it should be mentioned that the Dark Side Sourcebook was published *before* the Revised Core Rulebook, and thus uses the older, obsolete ruleset. Fortunately, there is an update file to be found at the Star Wars section of the Wizards of the Coast website that addresses these changes, and brings it in line with the new rules.
That being said, I liked this book back then, and I still like it now. The DSSB really set the stage for the high-quality, full-color, hardcover books that would later become the standard.
I really enjoyed the sections on Dark Side Spirits and Possession, but I think my favorite part was the large selection of Dark Side characters. There is also a wide range of new Dark Side force skills, new feats, mutated beasts, killer droids, and deadly weapons... and not to mention the comprehensive history of the Sith tradition itself, starting from its break with the Jedi Order over 25,000 years prior to the events of the movies.
In short, this is still a solid book, and if you're an evil player, or simply an evil GM, this one is for you.
