Welcome to the new
3.5 Private Sanctuary!
Check out the fantastic new site! We've upgraded to the latest content management system and with it a great new template. It should now be easier than ever to find all your favorite podcasts, reviews and original content for 3.5 and related material.


The new site is still a work in progress, but it's a huge upgrade over the previous site. You'll be seeing several changes to the site in the coming months, and hopefully this new template will give us the power and flexibility to do so.


A special three and a half thanks to Tahsin for the help getting this template going.

Latest 3.5

Monster Manual IV

Monster Manual IV

Publisher: Wizards of the Coast

Monster Manual III came out in August of 2004. For two years, it held on as the most current monster resource for Dungeon Masters, with Wizards of the Coast’s focus apparently shifted to specialty books that expand on specific monster types, like Libris Mortis. When Monster Manual IV was finally released in July of 2006, there was no denying a new Monster Manual was due. But this Monster Manual was different. The state block layout had evolved. Each monster entry was a two-page spread with new standard subsections. There were pregenerated 0 HD monster characters. With so many changes, was this what 3.5 gamers wanted from Monster Manual IV?

Publisher: Wizards of the Coast

Book of Nine Swords marked a major departure in the eyes of players from the traditional combat experience. That alone made it one of the most contentious Wizards of the Coast releases of the 3.5 era. Then, it was cited as an early example of how 4th edition would play out.

Book of the Faithful 1 – Power of Prayer

Publisher: Jon Brazer Enterprises

     Well this is just flattering. Designer Dale C. McCoy, Jr. based Book of the Faithful 1 – Power of Prayer off a comment I made in Private Sanctuary episode 87 . As a thank you, he provided me with a free copy. Although I did make my own version of Prayer Feats, it will be interesting to see his take on the same idea.

     Just to add, this is the first of a subseries called mini-reviews. Mini-reviews differ from standard reviews in that they cover small releases, usually PDF, from 3rd party publishers. They differ from product reviews in that they are sourcebooks. A mini-review will not have as many highlights or low points simply because there is less content or narrower focus to review.
