*laugh* Understandable. :) But if you realized just how many books Ari and I have written together, you probably wouldn't jump to such conclusions. We're basically attached at the brain. It's tragic. -- CAS

Beth Trott We loves the Beth. Yes, we does. -- CAS

Well, if you are enjoying Hamunaptra, then you just might enjoy Heroes of Horror, too, as it was brought to you by the very same people. :) Seriously, it's cool to see my setting mentioned. If you ever get a Hamunaptra game off the ground, please return and let me know how it goes. You can...

Well, if it makes you feel any better, we did write that one with folks like your players in mind, and we think it just might hit the mark, even for them. Obviously, the type and amount of horror you can fit into a game will depend on their willingness and/or stomachs, but at least you'll have...

Have you read the Players Guide to Wizards, Bards and Sorcerers for the Scarred Lands? The bard stuff in there is pretty rockin'. :) -- CAS

It sure is. Check out the monks section from The Players Guide to Monks and Paladins for the Scarred Lands. One of its chief objectives is to de-Orientalize the class. :) -- CAS

You could always check out The Players Guide to Monks and Paladins for the Scarred Lands. One of the major things it strives to accomplish is to pull the Orient out of the monk, and vice versa. -- CAS Disclaimer of Bias: I wrote it. :D

Ah, a man after my own heart. What a flavorful critter that was. I, too, have always harbored a love for desert adventures and creatures (as probably revealed by the fact that I created Hamunaptra ). ;) Speaking of which, there are quite a few good monsters in there, if you're looking for...

C.A. Suleiman Reasonably complete list of credits found here. Fun thread. :) -- CAS

Oh, I think it got plenty of press -- when it was first released. ;) So, assuming we're sticking with 2004-only stuff, what else did you like? -- CAS

*laugh* You're a riot, Phil. No wonder Ari speaks so highly of you. ;) -- CAS

Hey! Steve and I did it first in Hamunaptra! :p -- CAS

Precisely my thinking when I redesigned it. :-D -- CAS

Precisely my thinking when I redesigned it. :-D -- CAS

Thanks for saying so. :) Glad to see some folks are getting along with the whole approach of the setting. :) -- CAS

If all the requisite "Ancient Egyptian" elements -- deserts, river economies, scattered city-states, etc. -- weren't there, you wouldn't have a "cultural setting product." The topography is precisely as it needs to be in order to have the desired effect on the aesthetic. :) First, what more...

*laugh* You know... I hadn't thought of that. :) True enough. Indeed, Hamunaptra was designed in such a way as to allow that sort of thing with minimum difficulty. Be warned, though: The backstory presupposes a specific number of Divine Races, so any additions would probably be more...

Well, there is a "dog-headed" race, after a fashion. :D As for cats, I'm afraid you're out of luck (and no worse off for it, IMHO). :) -- CAS

Thanks! Glad you're digging it. :) Not for a boxed set with three books and a full-color, fold-out map. In the old days, yeah, but for a verge-of-2005 release, it's downright reasonable. ;) -- CAS

I've read it, but I do not own it. (I don't feel it's worth the cover price.) It fails because the writing and design are sub-standard, in my opinion, and because it suffers from the usual Mongoose production philosophy. The creature-oriented material doesn't hold a candle to that presented...
