Well, I'm planning on running 4E, and my DDI subscription is totally worth it. Heck, I get all the cool monsters from the Draconomicon* through the Compendium. One more book like that and it's paid for itself. *) Nice when I skimmed it, but not something I would spend full price on. Maybe...

The OP may have been a bad boy, but noone deserves that. ;)

Well oops. I remembered the Eladrin entry and it's illustration of three Eladrin (Eladrins?) but one is a Fey Knight. -1 point to me. :p

The M&M Annual has something like this - four adventures on two pages each. I've been thinking of getting something like that for fantasy gaming for a while now. Dungeon Delve might fit. Looks awfully linear, though, but that might be the nature of a four-hour delve. Also, Tulani of Summer...

Why yes sir. Made by WotC, no less. I've played it. We got halfway through on an unofficial con, and then decided to fast-forward to the lich's chamber because... well yeah, it's grindy. Acererak owned our behinds. The rogue/expert multiclass guy who brought a donkey and a bar of soap into the...

Brass (arid desert and plains)? Steel (rarely temperate plains)? That's AD&D stuff, but certainly transplantable to whatever edition you use. Just remember that even metallics are jerks.

I was thinking Baphomet too. He's been mentioned a bit in earlier sources (MMI minotaur entry, frex).

Right, so it's an abstract monster until it starts moving around for real. I approve.

Hehe. Did they perhaps read the post on RPGnet where someone said that an army counts as difficult terrain against Epic level heroes.

Man, the site's slow. Did it get hammered by a million simultaneous subscribers, perhaps... :)

Ampersand in the current Dragon (368). And the Manual of the Planes, when it comes out.

He could have corrupted fey. Evil nymphs, evil dryads, evil satyrs, even evil eladrin (and evil drow, though Lolth might be calling Graz'zt all the time to give them back). And since he is a former devil, he could have brought some succubi when he first entered the Abyss. Maybe they've become...

They are, at least for now. WOTC wants you to go buy the original source of the crunch. ;) (And it's been said that you can still use the Compendium as an index, it just won't show the crunch to non-subscribers.) Regarding the poll, I'll subscribe eventually, but I'll let the early adopters go...

I go to RPGnet for my reviews. They cover most stuff. Can't find an FRPG review, though. Sorry.

Not a bad idea, but it seems like something that would benefit alot from an online treatment (with new creatures coming in from Dragon each month). At least it would need to include the MM1 as well to be really useful, and then you have the problem of books requiring each other if you put it in...

Since I'm bored, it's crunch time. With lots of assumptions. Assume a 50% hit rate when attacking an MM monster. If DDM monsters have -2 to all defenses and AC, that's a 60% hitrate on them, or a 20% increase in hits and therefore damage. That means they might be balanced if they had 20% more...

Thanks. Yeah, I checked the young adamantite after composing this post, and its HP was way low. (Might not raised defenses and lower HP even out, though?) The chain golem seemed to follow the guidelines, actually. Noticed the cone thing too, and the Ravenous Dire Rat is a minion but has HP? (5...

You know, these. Mostly MM1 monsters, but there are some goodies in there - Gnaw Demon, Xorn Ravager, Cockatrice, Angel of Retribution, Hellwasp, Young Adamantite Dragon and Chain Golem. I tried to google up an older thread about this set, but couldn't find one. So, have anyone tried the new...

The MM says that's exactly what happened to Demogorgon, Baphomet and Orcus. Or did you mean other primordials?
