Now this is a great idea.

Nice idea!
Though, it is a shame you couldn't arrange for simultaneous releases. Was that a matter of fitting things into schedule or more a matter of market research?

I think I've seen that ad before . . .

I take the blame for that. I can only draw so many creatures in a day...

Great! I always look forward to more counters from FD, and I'm very happy with the first Monster Geographica book from ERP. Teaming up is a great idea!

i also thought this was an excellent idea - it should more than cover people's concerns about the lack of art in the books, although i'm sure some people will still complain about having to buy another product.

Hey, who said you could take a break! Back to work, you lazy art-monkey! Just 'cause you created The BattleBox doesn' mean you can be all high-and-mighty now.

Buy more RPG products *Twist my arm*

I think it works out great for everyone involved. The reason we didn't include art in Monster Geographica books was to keep it affordable. And now when you buy CC: Murky Depths, you are not only paying for art but the art in a useable format.

And I should mention, while CC: Murky Depths and Slimy Shores has counters for all 200 monsters found in Monster Geographica: Marsh & Aquatic, it also contains more counters beyond those 200 creatures. And it comes in a great tin.
