Only the main character can do magic, and thats only because his wand has power, all the children are endowed, like my favorite, Asa Pike, (the Beast, as he's called.)

"Furies of Calderon" by Jim Butcher.

Dragonfire, Ghost Rider, and Fantastic Four. (I LOVE BOOKS!)

I just finished The Phantom of the Opera. FANTASTIC book. With a lot of the classics, things feel very clunky and out of date... not so here! The whole thing feels like a modern book set in the 1800s, not a book written in 1910. It really speaks for its timelessness.

And the story is, of course, perfect. The misunderstood and brilliant Phantom, the lovestruck, driven Raoul, the beautiful Christine... so many character archetypes that have become common nowadays.

Since I've run out of R.A. Salvatore to read I just, as of yesterday, reread Hour of the Dragon by Robert E. Howard. It's his only Conan story that is actually novel length, albiet a short one.
It got me thinking that it would be pretty cool to have a barbarian hero in heroscape.
Of course, a squad of dark elfs for Utgars Army would be interesting as well.

Currently Reading Settling Accounts: Return Engagement by the Master of Alternate History: Harry Turtldove. The Book is Amazing, written superbly to add depth to an alternate we can all believe. Great Irony in this book. The Book is set in Turtledove's 191 series when the south was able to successfully break from the Union. World War 1 happens with Britain and France Allying with the CSA and the USA allying with Germany. USA and Germany are able to prevail and defeat the South and their allies.
As such Hitler never takes power but remains in the personal army of the Kaiser. I highly recommend this whole series of books
the quick Summary above is a very quick sum up of the books 3 or 4 books before the Alt WWII Series: Settling Accounts

[Flame Gryphon]

Black Gryphon, Charlie Bone and the Beast, and The Divide.

This just screams GURPS campaign.

I'm also reading Turtledove right now, but I'm reading the 'Balance' series, where aliens invade Earth right smack in the middle of WW2. I'm almost done. It's also pretty fun.
