Ok, this deal on miniatures has become downright bananas! Most D&D players seem to already know about it, but if you haven't seen it yet: it's definitely worth witnessing. Also discussed here. (yes, I'm breaking my code of ' no shilling' by posting this... but it's more a matter of " If you play D&D, you have to see this!")

Agreed, this is doing the community a favor.

(Quotes screwed up on the next one, won't give the poster's name. It's in the Best Lines thread on the D&D forum)
First, an experience from a game I played in a few years back. Our DM didn't like 3.5 as a whole but liked parts of it. So he hands us a big ass rules packet for his modified FR campaign, complete with quotes from important NPC's on the front. I can't remember most of the HRs, just that some how gods like Cyric and Bhaal existed at the same time, despite the obvious problems there. In the end the game became a problem more because of the railroading than the HRs, but it ended with this classic line, after our ranger tried to disarm the strange woman following us WITH HIS BOW: DM: You just killed (insert random noble sounding name here) JP: Was she important? Jack: Dude, she's quoted on the front of the rules packet!

Cut the last encounter on your way out after dealing with the Darth. He's the BBEG. Treat him as such. Play up that Darth Revan is THAT much of a badarse. When the shuttle landed, I had no less than 13 JEDI MASTERS step off the shuttle. The PCs were slack-jawed. After the meetup with Bastila (as she's carrying Revan's body), only TWO jedi masters remained with her. Let me tell you, the player whining about not getting to fight Revan himself shut up pretty quickly when he saw that. 
There's so much you can do with insanity, especially when it has alot of resources.
1. Cleric cast protection from fire on Tank.
2. Tank goes in and get surrounded by enemies.
3. Wizard cast fireball and blows them up.
4. ???
5. Profit

Yeah, this Reaper thing is just bananas. I'm absolutely loving it. It's gone crazy. Only a day and a half left to get in on it, but I wouldn't be at all surprised to see the stretch goals go up to $3 million by then. The last couple of days of Kickstarters like this do tend to get a little ridiculous - just look at the Order of the Stick one.
Currently standing at ~215 minis for $100 (+$25 for non-US/CA shipping, plus potentially frankly silly amounts of money if you want absolutely everything, which I have to say I don't/ it's possible to have too many Giants and Dragons...

Yeah. It looked complicated... but boiled down to just one choice:
'Vampire' package ($100 for hundreds of minis), and afterwards trade in the metal 'Sophie' miniature for another $25 in add-ons.
I was going to buy add-ons separately, but it turned out to be better to just buy another Vampire package.

I went ahead and did the Vampire package. It's a no-brainer!
Here are the PHB essentia, in my opinion: - Three Basic Rules (p 11)
- Power Types and Usage (p 54)
- Skills (p178-179)
- Feats (p 192)
- Rest and Recovery (p 263)
- All of Chapter 9 [Combat] (p 264-295)
A player needs to read the sections for building his or her character -- race, class, powers, feats, equipment, etc. But those are PC-specific. The above list is for everyone, regardless of the race or class or build or concept they are playing.
