For those not familiar with the Quintessential books, this one kicks off with the Character Concepts chapter, a range of simple templates designed to be applied to beginning characters to subtly alter the core class. By taking a Character Concept, a Bard will suffer a penalty in one area but gain a benefit in another - this is primarily a roleplaying tool for players looking for a character who is a bit different from the normal run of the mill. For example, as a Bard you can now start as a Alderman, Ambassador, Artist, Aspirant, Cantor, Explorer, Law Keeper, Lore Master, Minstrel, Naturalist, (not Naturist. . .), Skald, Stormcrow, Talespinner, Trickster or Vagabond. The Prestige Bard covers avenues players may wish to explore when they come to specialise their Bard in one or more areas. As a Bard increases in level, he can choose to adopt the role of Dream Dancer, Elder, Grandmaster, Jester, Seneschal, Singer of the Dawn, Soul Taker, World Singer - or a combination of several. The Tricks of the Trade chapter gives Bards 'cool things to do', as I always describe it to our writers. It kicks off with many new uses for skills, such as using Gather Information to support Bardic Knowledge or Intimidate to bully. Assisting Actions allows a Bard to use his music in a non-magical manner to help others achieve their goals through Battle Hymns, Chamber Music, Folk Dance, Harvest Songs, Lullabies and Marching Songs, all of which also permit a Bard to specialise in the kind of music he performs. Finally, Professions allows a Bard to ally his musical talent with public performances, allowing him to adopt the roles of such things as Street Magicians, Town Criers and Animal Charmers - even if a player is not interested in pursuing such things (and who doesn't want a few extra gold on the side), then there is plenty of meat here for Games Masters to set urban scenes in their scenarios. This is followed by Bardic Feats, which allow a Bard to specialise in certain areas, taking advantage of his innate talents. He can choose to gain feats that allow him to Gossip, learn Elven Dreamweaving, become a Geographer or any one of 22 other feats. Tools of the Trade begins by looking at the qualities of Masterwork Instruments, leading into Invested Instruments - the development of seemingly magical powers as a Bard forms a close bond with his instrument over time. Magical Instruments are covered in depth with such items as the Chorus Harp and Rain Staff available, while Exotic Items covers more mundane objects such as a Metronome and Magician's Chest. Rules are also presented for Magical Crafts, for those Bards looking to produce art more permanent than tale or song. At the cost of a feat, a Bard may create sanctified architecture, magical candles, enduring embroidery, engravings of no little power, glassblowings that can capture flame, paintings that change appearance with the things they represent, pottery that will never permit food to rot, sculptures that can manifest voices and weavings that can make the lowest peasant seem noble. Finally, Magical Compositions represent lost items of Bardic lore that can be used by several performers to create castings that dwarf the abilities of a single Bard. Of all the Tricks of the Trade chapters we have done in the past, this is probably the greatest in scope! The Power of Lore concentrates on the Bard's knowledge capabilities and gives extra guidelines in its use, plus a few tips on circumstances in which its use may not always be obvious. Using this chapter, Bards can now find themselves far more intuitive, able to predict the actions of enemies or even memorise far for information than most people will ever know. The Mysteries of Music allow Bards to study their arts to far greater depth than has ever been possible before, unlocking the great secrets of legends who have come before them. There are 18 Mysteries detailed, all relating to a certain type of performance - the Great Harp, for example, or the Court Dance. Once a Bard begins studying a mystery, he gains the use new abilities that can be utilised through his music. By learning the mystery of Epic Chants, for example, he may start by accomplishing the Strength of Ancestors, which will boost the fortitude of those nearby. As he grows in understanding and power, he can turn this into Walking the Path of Legends, unlocking the hero in a comrade in a fight against evil. Sixteen new castings are presented in Bard Spells, of varying level. These include the Eye of the Heart, which permits him to automatically sense the location of hidden enemies and the Silver Voice, which makes a Bard very persuasive to those he speaks to. Once they have mastered the art of performing, Bards can become very confident, and when two meet, each may be eager to prove their skill. Bardic Duels allows them to decide who is the greatest and most skilled without resorting to violence or death. Such duels as Magic, Performance, Riddles, Rites and Steel are covered, though the Bard had better be sure of his abilities, as losing a duel can seriously hurt the purse! Finally, the Quintessential Bard wraps up with Venues, allowing a high level Bard to create a centre for art and inspiration - a theatre is one possibility, though some travelling Bards make do with a street corner to practice their skills. Full rules are given to develop a venue, including its acoustics, attributes, location and resources, with plenty of examples to guide a Bard to legendary renown. This is all capped by an Index, Rules Summary and a new Bardic character sheet.

Daniel's (updated) Guide to Early Retirement. Version 2.0:1: Intercept illegal money transfer from mafia boss. (Complete success. Except for the part where I was discovered and almost caught)2: Hide out in super-exclusive Full Immersion Virtual Reality game until the heat is off. (Doing fine so far. They may have figured out that I'm in-game...still, it's a huge game, so no problem, right?)3: Roll a bard. Max out charisma. Live it up. (Two out of three ain't bad. We're just postponing the 'Live it up' part a bit.)4: Profit. (Still almost two years to go for that. Think happy thoughts!)He could have been way worse off. Sure, Daniel was stuck in-game as the local bard of a quaint village, but people were nice, the quests juicy and the lore intriguing. Even so, with the mob on the look-out, Daniel would soon find himself sorely tested to avoid detection.Disclaimer: Still no harems in this series, even with a Bard MC. Go figure. We're going light on the cursing and less light on the puns. You were warned.

THE MAN WHO FLED When Tralane, an itinerant bard, was captured by the dread Sorcerer King, his only hope lay in stealing the Eye of Wyden. With that powerful amulet, he was able to escape to another variant world. But he could not so easily escape the destiny that seemed to pursue him. As he fled from world to world, each seemed to offer only greater misery and danger. And now he was stalked by the mocking figure of the Jade Warrior, a mysterious creature who waited patiently for his failure or death. The final world was that of the Worm-God Wyden, from whom the Eye had been ripped, and the Man of a Thousand Faces, who sought to trap him into an eternity of futile degradation. In the end, Tralane was forced to flee once more - back to face himself and his unknown beginnings. SPECIAL BONUS - This digital edition includes the previously unpublished story GHOST SWORD OF THE HEART

FELIMID MAC FAL IS BACK . . . WITH THE BEAUTIFUL PIRATE GUDRUN BLACKHAIR AT HIS SIDE! I am called Felimid mac Fal. I am a bard of the old blood, a lesser degree of Druid. Where I come from, bards have been known to sing armies to defeat or victory and kings off their thrones or on to them. Descended from the faery folk, the Tuatha de Danann, my line's been poets and harpers in Erin since the world was new, and magic's in our heart-marrow. She is called Gudrun Blackhair . . . as well as names a good deal less polite. She is the most dangerous pirate on the open seas, master of the enchanted ship Ormungandr, and the woman of my heart. If you wish to know more than that, ask the ballad, singers and gossip mongers at any tavern. Half of what you hear will be fact, half will be lies, and even I can no longer separate the two. Yet this story perhaps the strangest of them all, of shapeshifters and sorceresses and the sea-dwelling Children of Lir, is naught but the gods' own truth. . . . on my honor as a bard.
