I think it was Konrad Lorenz who speculated that some breeds of domestic dog are not descended from wolves, but from jackals. He based his speculation on the different temperaments and behaviours of the various dog breeds. This is now known to be wrong, and all domestic dog species are known...

I do include the clouded leopard in the Bestiary. It is under the Big Cats section since it belongs to the Subfamily Pantherinae. Anatomical comparison and recent genetic profiling indicate that it is most closely related to the clouded leopard, with which it shares the characteristic of having...

My problem with the Dummies guides is that they add too much 'fluff'. I get impatient sometimes reading them, because it frequently seems that they could convey the same information in half the text. But the information they do provide is good, so I have to admit that I have a number of Dummies...

Great poll. Thanks. That's the best line from the best fantasy movie ever. The next best Conan line was: "Enough talk!" Thunk! BTW, as many of you probably know, John Milius, who directed the third Conan movie, was set to do a new sequel, "King Conan," but sadly Warner brothers decided...

Sorry to hear that the project fizzled. Still, it generated lots of reviews while it was running, so it was pretty successful in that respect. Thanks for organizing it. Sean

Hi Crotian, Alzrius just gave me a link to this thread. I would love to have Betabunny Publishing's products added to this project if you are not completely swamped. I actually sent you a complementary copy of The Bestiary: Predators last week, but didn't specify that you could use other...

Thanks! That's a good suggestion. I'll contact Crothian. John Cooper also has the product in his review pile. Sean

Hi Gary, Thanks for sharing your wisdom with us. I was wondering what your opinion of the D&D movies was? Do you think they've done anything to help grow the rpg audience? I thought the first movie was pretty wretched, but the second is getting good reviews. Sean

CC2 is a great application, but, if I'm going for a fantasy map type look, I generally do it by hand and in photoshop. I think that gives the map a little more character. I've also used the Fractal Mapper demo to produce initial coastlines. My preference however, is for a more realistic look. I...

The number of alternate names that some animals have caused me to follow many dead ends. A number of animals even share the same or similar names, and many sources get different species mixed up because of this. I came to appreciate why zoologists identify every species with a unique Latin name...

Thanks for the offer. I'd certainly love some reviews, but don't want to give the impression that I'm buying favorable reviews with free copies. BTW, I have uploaded the demo to Free Stuff section of the store, so that can now be reviewed by anyone. Cheers, Sean

Thanks. I'm glad you liked it. BTW, I've just uploaded the Bears demo to the store. You can find it under the Free Stuff link or my publisher page. Reviews would be welcome. Cheers,

Thanks. Glad you like the demo pdf. I do have plans to in the future to give the same treatment to monsters. I do have quite a few natural animals to get through first though, and then of course there are pre-historic animals as well! The Bestiary: Predators does cover a number of...

The World Climates Map was not intended to be highly detailed. It is based on recent NASA climate data so it is hopefully pretty accurate and should account for broad climate variations. You are correct that elevation does cause dramatic temperature variations. For instance, Mount Kilimanjaro...

Thanks for the feedback. The book does not expand the Handle Animals skill directly, but it does frequently include notes about the value of an animal as a pet or trained animal. It also provides clear guidance on what tasks an animal will be capable of. The book does add 10 new feats and...

Yes a POD is planned for the near future. I should mention that the pdf version has been optimized to be as toner cartridge friendly as possible. It will take less ink to print than many shorter publications I have seen. Sean Betabunny Publishing
