Yeah come to think of it, you guys are right. Demogorgon won't be until the next Demonomicon.

As for Orcus...hmm...well James said it will get him in trouble and Malcanthet (or maybe Graz'zt cause he's a sexual demon prince too) seems to fit the bill.

I finally read the Vecna article in its entirety - that was a great article.

If you have not read the Coldfire Trilogy, you should. It is a great series. I've often wanted to create an RPG world that was like that world.

How is the artwork for the Horrors of the Daelkyr article? Rendered by anyone recognizable, or some new blood perhaps?
The art was done by Erik Dechamps, who's done work for Paizo before. It's pretty good, although I did have some qualms about a few of the interpretations (I knew I should have sent in an illustration of the real opabinia).

Sounds neat, personally can't wait to see the sidebars for introducing them in other campaigns other than Eberron.
It's a pretty short sidebar - as you have no doubt noticed, the new statblock format plays havoc with the word count. As printed, it's missing my suggestion to make the various aberrations the minions of illithids, zern or another aberrant mastermind. Also, the xorbeast (an aberration) somehow got lumped in with the article's two outsiders into neutral evil planes or the Far Realm. Although xorbeasts are perfectly appropriate for the Far Realm, they should probably remain aberrations, albeit with the Extraplanar subtype.

Demiurge out.

Eh. I just want Orcus before I turn 35. (I'm 29 now.) :p :)

Banshee,

Tarrant rocks and maybe in my next campaign, i'll work a way to have someone like that. Maybe a fallen priest of Hedrada... ;)

I think the curse which makes it so no one other than the caster recognizes the target for more than a day would be a fitting punishment for a deposed despot.

I got my copy over the weekend. Very nice article! While I have zero use or interest for Eberron material, my party is currently in the marrow of a cerebotic blot to the Far Realm, so I have all kinds of use for these critters. If they survive the rukanyr/skybleeder battle they are currently emeshed in, they'll probably be seeing some advanced xenostelids and kyras shortly thereafter. :cool:

The comment above made me seek out the real opabinia. For anyone else interested, here's the Wikipedia entry, complete with illustration.

I have my issue...but anyone know who did the art on pg 11? I recognize the style, but can't place it.
There's an ad with a few t-shirt pictures on page 11.. if you mean Girl Genius, it's Phil Foglio. Cthulhu looks like Aaron Williams, but I'm only guessing. I couldn't begin to guess who made the last one.

IIRC, they were from the same Dragon article that features the Hallucigenia and other weird, unexplainable "animals" from the past. :)

In any case, a vampire that feeds on fear would be cool. I've tried figuring out how I'd generate mechanics for creatures that feed on different emotions or personality traits. Could you create a creature that feeds on greed, or on hate, or on love? What would happen to the food source if that emotional trait was drained?
I would model this as Wisdom damage, myself.
