Oooooohh! She's intimidating, yet somehow very alluring!

She's not a very nice person. She has a big icy prison where she tortures magic users, using their agony as a power source for her doomsday weapon!

All I can say is that it will be released, and it will not be under the current GSL. I've actually hired someone to rewrite (who has already finshed the first adventure and the two guides), so it's not speculative: it's underway.

Okay. This time it was crystal clear. Thanks. I have the original serie, and I think the 4e ruleset will be a much better fit. I will definitely buy at least a couple and see how it has turned out.

Cheers

Correct. But to use your example, FR is fairly vanilla DND. A psionic based alien-inspired world would probably generate monsters that would not fit in a "normal" campaign. Ofc, YMMV, but that would be my guess, hence my question.

I see what you are saying, though I don't really agree. Monsters are one of the easiest thing to get into a game regardless of setting. If you are trying to put something from steampunk or scifi into fantasy, that can present a tougher challenge, but if you are just a bit creative it shouldn't present much of an issue.

I'm not trying to berate you or go off on a tirade or anything, it just always bothered me when people say that a certain set of monsters just can't fit. To answer your question though, the monsters are from our own world. They may be a bit more out of the ordinary than other creatures, but aren't monsters supposed to be unique and exciting?

Thanks for the answer. And to answer your question, yes they are supposed to be unique. I just happen to think they can get too weird. For example, I never ever used a single monster from the 2e Spelljammer MC. Maybe I just never "got them", but they were just too weird for me.

Cheers

Edit: I just wanted to add that I am not familiar with your 3.x work, so I have no idea if I would find your monsters too weird for me, so I will definitely check it out when it comes. But maybe just not buy it unseen, as I do with a lot of other stuff.

And of course Critical Matters went on sale yesterday. EN World PDF Store - Final Redoubt Press - Critical Matters (Combat Essentials 1).

That's the PDF version. Alliance has set the print version to release on the 17th. Bug you FLGS into ordering a few.

Our next product, Critical Blunders, is in the pipe.

They make some of the best adventures in the business. Certainly better than WotC.

I agree with this on the Goodman Games. I have not played a 4e adventure yet, but they were very solid in 3.5

I will note however, and with you coming back, this may not matter, but I prefer the WotC adventure setup, when the whole map zoom in, enemy placement, tactics and what not. I tried looking at their examples and so far have not seen this in their layout.

Talked to Jason Kempton, about CC4E, Scarred Land's fluff it's in:

"Preview will be available in about a week – release most likely towards end of November."

"We are keeping [and editing] the fluff - thats the best part! Of course, all the stats will be 4E - but I see no point in having boring monster entries - they should be exciting!"

i'm curious as to whether or not these publications will be out under the 4e gsl as it stands, wait until a new one comes out and maybe go gsl then,or if they are going to go the "copyright route", for lack of a better phrase, and use the ogl, and thereby make a 3.x/pathfinder version of the products as well. we'll see i guess.

Anybody hear anything from Necromancer Games lately? I see their name is not on the list there.
