Much as I enjoy drinking coffee and cocktails, I couldn't find the energy to turn either into a hobby. When I'm not working (or gaming), I tend to write. I used to read a lot, but lately I find that I can't concentrate on other people's words the way I can on my own. Some years ago I became...

"Boutique con" is the preferred term.

Pretty sure I have a copy of the same CD-ROM lying around somewhere. Don't think I ever used it, and I'm abroad so I can't check. I threw out piles and piles of old unused D&D stuff last year, so maybe it didn't survive the cull.

It's going so well that they don't need to promote it!

Those things never go well. Take Lens Larque in The Demon Princes by Jack Vance, for instance.

There's a gnome in the picture?!

Ladybird Books for adults were my happiest find last time I was in London. I have The Midlife Crisis. (They're funniest if you grew up with the originals.)

Or if you look closely you see that they contain slight differences with the originals: clues to a hidden treasure. Possibly you need to track down the lost "Easley" to make the set complete and find the final clue.

But you spell it "Frank Loyd right" the first time, and the second time it's "Frank lloyd Write".

And then there was that player who joined for one session and just copied the fighter's character but on horseback. "I want to joust!" "But you only have a sword, no lance or shield." "I don't care, I'm doing it anyway!"

When it was on telly the first time around I had nightmares. I'd read the books, and I knew who was going to die.

That barbarian looks a lot older than the last time we saw him.

And every time someone swings a weapon they have to stop and do the maths in their head to figure out whether they hit.

"Iconic" is for things that you use, "cliched" is for things that other people use.

Perhaps let systems, or clusters of systems, rule themselves within certain centrally defined parameters. With the threat of the Peace Moon to blow up planets if they get too uppity.

I read one review that said that some of the digital FX were a bit rough, but otherwise it was very positive.

@Richards, thanks for reading! And thanks for spotting the typo. "Do I need to do a proper proofreading?" I asked myself. "No, I've read it so many times, I've caught all the mistakes." One day I'll learn. I've actually always written Henren as very competent. But I realise that the previous...

Alright, alright! Give the audience what they want, and the audience is clearly clamouring for more stories of Henren the Bloody and the Cat. This one is more traditionally Sword & Sorcery, so perhaps that will appeal a bit more. === Dragon’s Oath A tale of Henren the Bloody and the Cat...

The OP asked about...let me check my sources..."the most iconic monster groups, clans, races, organizations, etc. in fantasy rpgs" (emphasis mine). Nothing about imaginary opponents that don't occur in human history.

Cults, pirates, tyrants, slavers, invaders.
