This section of the boards is too quiet!
Now that the book has been out for over a year, what have you incorporated into your games?
I've used the Good Hits and Bad Misses, which has added an interesting element to critical fumbles. We aren't using the crit side of things (group choice), but the fumbles are almost like wild magic nowadays. :)
Several of the monsters have seen play, and I hope to incorporate a mountebank and battle dancer in the near future.

Yeah, the critical fumbles are a regular feature. I've also played a jester, and all sorcerers in my game get a free bloodline feat.

One of the players in my STAP campaign is playing an amphibeous Tibbit wizard.
We now use the crit tables for every game we play.
I hope to someday play a sha'ir, and also a dvati (perhaps a dvati sha'ir?)
I love the Dragon Compendium, it's one of the best sourcebooks.
A few NPCs have used the expanded weapons and feats from the Compendium, and I used an winter unseelie human cleric of Auril in one adventure.
I played a jestor. It was not as much fun as I expected. When he died, I rolled up a rogue.
I'ved used the grandfather plaque and unseelie fey template.
I've used the DC classes in various games, mostly as NPC's while a player has used the Battle Dancer class as his main characters class in one campaign we did. I dig into the DC now and again, its a cool book with a lot to offer, keeps you coming back for more and great to read while on the loo.
and great to read while on the loo.

I've used a fair amount (a bit of everything except the races section), and convinced all my friends to buy one too! A great book and I'm looking forward to Vol.2
Peace,

My Age of Worms party currently includes a jester and a death master. I've seen tibbits in game, and I've used a few of the elemental demons and the bonespitter.

What about the jester did you not like? I love(d) (campaign in hiatus) my jester.

I ran a dvati rogue for about two sessions before that campaign went a-splode after the DM had a nervous breakdown. (Not from the dvati. It was only the second game she'd ever run, and she used a dragon. Some of the other guys were yelling at her because it was complicated and she kept forgetting things.)
I hope to run a tibbit character eventually. Heck, I hope to attain a print copy of the book to call my own at some point.
I'm hopelessly devoted to this book! The Tibbits have just found a home in my campaign world, and I have player whose about to run an Tibbit Psion. The Good Hits/Bad Misses is not fully integrated into my game. Some of the monsters, particularly the killer plants, are now at home on my world as well.

The jester. I was *always* a fan of this class, and I was overjoyed to re-add it.
My AoW campaign has a Battle Dancer and a multiclased Archivist/Savant. The Archivist/Savant combo has proven invaluable to the party for her knowledge skills (especially when combined with an Archivist's dark knowledge ability.
Depending on the definition of use I've been working on a Thrall of Malcanthet (from this month's Dragon) that has levels in Jester and Battle Dancer more to learn a little about theoretical character optimization than to really try to play.
I love the DC and between my wife and I, we've played almost every Prestige Class from the book.
Her personal favorite? Osteomancer. XD
I am no longer allowed to use tesseracts in my dungeons. I have the first reprint of the article from one of the old Best of Dragon issues. Between tesseracts and teleport mazes, my players have threatened to kill me if I ever use either of them again.

Well - I have been reading alot about the 4th dimension - been real slow at work - and it occured to me that certain 'advanced beings' from other realities (The Far Realm) may be 4th dimensional; so as I am ready to start a 'mini-series campaign' that will feature alot of Far Realmian/Lovecraftian goodness, I will use tesseracts - and my players will most likely kill me...
The yellow dragon is going to show up to torment my PCs in the not too distant future. I'm trying to figure out how to bring in a purple at a later date. Heh heh heh.

I've not really had a chance to use anything. It came out pretty much in the middle of our campaign.
However, whenever my players get too big for their boots I threaten to put in an encounter with a purple dragon .....
Actually, tonight's prepared encounter with a gargantuan blue dragon might just have taken on an unforseen twist. Its not like a blue dragon's breath weapon HAS to be a line of electricty, right?

The goggles that others can see through (farseeing?) were a staple in our last campaign, and I grab items from there once in a while. There are some nice feats, as well.
I've used the Savant many, many times. The Sha'ir, Death Master, and Jester are on my 'play me sometime!' list. My wife loves the Tibbits.
One dude made a pretty kick ass Urban Druid once.
I'm certainly going to be putting the battle dancer class to use in the STAP for a certain group.
Big thanks to Nic Logue for the push to pick it up, and giving us a taste of its potential, here. You were right, it's a great resource.
The tibbit, and several of the monsters. Mostly I enjoyed reading it without playing it. Like the chapter on riddles was very nice, though I'd used riddles before. But now whenever I feature a riddle room or puzzle door the words from that piece jump to mind. =)
Just got my hands on it a few days ago. I would like to add the Fleet Runner of Ehlonna to my half-elven ranger (FR campaign, reveres Mielikki, and started with the background feat "Fleet of Foot") at some point. But you absolutely need at least one level of druid or cleric for that PrC, otherwise, the requirements are near-impossible to fulfill. (And I had completely forgotten about the Dragon Mag they came from. So, the DC helps remembering good stuff. A pity that there won´t be any more of them)

As a Jack Vance fan, I LOVE the sha'ir... it's the only core class that gives you a sandestin.
