Go and beg to differ with some of the people that wrote the Iron Kingdoms then, 'cos they agree with me on it being steamtech not steampunk ;) Sorry, don't mean to sound nasty there, just had to say that :D Anyways, the Iron Kingdoms isn't really steampunk. Yes, it has steam technology, very...

*points to link in sig* Steam & Steel will be out soon. Then there's also Sorcery & Steam by FFG already out. And the Iron Kingdoms setting, though that isn't steampunk just steamtech, and the Campaign Guide has yet to be released sadly.

Steam tech, clearly. In fact, fantasy steamtech. Why, perhaps even something about fantasy steamworks... :D ;) :p

Not sure if there'll be another update from me this week - I'm fairly busy with work, not to mention that tomorrow I'm off to see Eddie Izzard live :D Definitely an update early next week though at the latest.

*applauds*

I have yet to use anything out of the Tome of Horrors. Also, Magical Medieval Society. I was hoping there'd be more info in it on melding the magical with the medieval, but really it was just a history textbook - and since I'm doing a history degree, specialising as much as I can in medieval...

Sadly this seems likely, especially as my 'holiday' this year is going to be very busy and also I'll likely have only patchy net access to run the game over :( Still, I must remember to get the gnoll race stats over to you sometime soon! :)

There's one problem with specifying it to just creatures with classes, and that is that the Elite Opponents column isn't about just classes. "Through the addition of class levels or templates, or even via simple HD advancement..." So there is no particular connection between the 'elite array'...

When I saw the title of this thread I had two strange thoughts float through my head. The first was "Ah, sending Americans back to their homeland in outer space!" :D The second was a bizarre mental image of the entire United States being launched by hundreds of rocket boosters, the entire...

Let me point out this part of the SRD: ABILITY SCORE ARRAYS Monsters are assumed to have completely average (or standard) ability scores—a 10 or an 11 in each ability, as modified by their racial bonuses. However, improved monsters are individuals and often have better than normal ability...

I'm certainly not making an 'irrational complaint' by saying that, as is, the Elite Opponents column is not very useful to me. It says it's attempting to turn the enemies into 'memorable foes', which I don't think it does a very good job of achieving. And from this thread, there are others that...

Wierd, this thread seems to have remained distinctly unclosed... :p

Greets Hive :) Another update to my SH today, and the Steam & Steel thread in the EN Publishing forum seems to be doing good traffic! :)

The title of the article implies that it's about yuan-ti. It's not really, though, is it? It's about templates. Apparently I'm making an irrational complaint. Well, no, I'm not. I'm not actually making a complaint at all - like it has been pointed out, this is a free text. I haven't paid for it...

Well, I've gotta give honourable mentions to both theRuinedOne and Broccli_Head, because the first has moved from reading my SH to playing in it, and the second is soon to do the same! :D

The Ironjack wizard took Cazamir's extended hand and shook it respectfully, nodding to the monk as he stepped away from the triumvirate of figures clustered around the injured man on the table. The other Ironjacks sitting on and around their ironclad wagon watched him cautiously but without...

You can certainly do Thief 2 :) However I've never seen anything to do with Lodoss Wars (it's anime, isn't it? - I'm not much of a watcher of anime) so I have no idea whether you can use St&St for it, but my guess would be yes considering the wide range of possibilities that Steam & Steel could...

As Skidace suggested, making the monster themselves more interesting and challenging through cunning tactics, unique set-ups and situations, and things like that, would be of far more use to me than another monster with some random template on it. It's not an article about making yuan-ti into...

Cheers Gundark :) I hope Steam & Steel turns out to be what you're looking for :) Dextra - should I email Hellhound or you about Steam & Steel-related matters? I know I've been corresponding with HH beforehand over St&St but I haven't seen him around the boards much of late and I've heard he's...

So do I :p
