Helping Support Sorcerer's Place

It's been a while since my last call for help, and since there were only a couple donations in the last two months, this might be a good time to put out a reminder how you can help Sorcerer's Place. I have made an exhaustive list of all the ways each and every one of you can help support Sorcerer's Place in one way or another. The link to this support page can be found below the PayPal button on the left side of every page of Sorcerer's Place. I hope you will take the time to read through it and see if you are willing to do something to help.

My thanks go to all who have donated to SP in the past, or bought anything through the links on Sorcerer's Place. If it weren't for you folks to help me cover the monthly costs, SP probably wouldn't be around any more.

Subsection Updates -> Fantasy Books

R. A. Salvatore's Sea of Swords is now available in paperback, so grab it from our Forgotten Realms Books subsection if you've been holding back on the hard cover. You can also grab some new sample chapters from the same subsection, namely for "The Thousand Orcs" and "Hand of Fire".

Other new sample chapters are "The Lioness" on page 2 of our Dragonlance Books subsection and "The Living Dead" and "Oath of Nerull" in Miscellaneous Books subsection.

Subsection Updates - Games -> Baldur's Gate 2

An updated version of the BG2 & ToB walkthrough has been added to the Walkthroughs & Guides subsection. Among other improvements, it now also covers the Solaufein and Ascension mods.

Another new addition can be found in Subsection #2 of the Editors, Hacks & Custom Characters subsection, namely Rastor's Item Pack.

Subsection Updates - Games -> Icewind Dale 2

Amazon is now shipping the strategy guides for the game, so order one from our Walkthroughs & Guides subsection if you're interested.

Additionally, almost 30 new screenshots have been added to our Screenshots subsection, pages 4 and 5.

Subsection Updates - Games -> Neverwinter Nights

In the Walkthroughs & Guides subsection you can find two updates. The first is the NWN Official Campaign Guide, and the second the NWN Reference Guide.

In the Editors, Hacks & Tweaks subsection you can download a bunch of cool new stuff. Probably the most interesting is the Camera Angle Hack which allows you to unlock the camera view in the game. Other new additions are the DialogTLK editor, Hakedit, ITP Tools, NWN Tileset Duplicator, MP3toBMU, Modganizer and NDubyaConfig.

All five of the Toolset & Related subsections have also been updated.
