I prefer 174's Defeat More with Less. As for examples, the sabotage of party gear in enemy territory (by commoner and expert sympathizers of the enemy cause) is always a fun one. As is packrats and tiny valuables... Edit- got the issue number wrong.

Quite spiffy. I like how the naga is divided between the 4 MM types without too much complexity and how all of them seemed more critter-ish than those in UA/BL.

Cool, can't wait to see what you did with the cloaker, chuul, behir, naga and treant (being the most alien). Thanks for taking suggestions, too.

Beaten to the punch on Spirosblaak, which I consider one of the better settings. Another is The Second World Sourcebook. The setting is interesting, but underdeveloped. Unfortunately no other publisher hasn't taken up the mantle and published a second edition with more description of the second...

The mockery bugs- are they more like the Judas breed in Mimic or The (new) Thing?

There are a few: http://gammaworld.20.forumer.com/ http://www.pamedia.com http://www.paforge.com/ and its forums that are sadly unused: http://paforge.proboards7.com/

Some stuff I missed: Craft points are not automaticly given every level- they must be either scavenged or purchased (2 to 5 gp/point). Constructs hold a number of points = HD X 50. A typical, unscavenged building holds 50-5000 points. Deconstructing broken devices can net between 0 and 25% of...

The PCs' society was banished from their home plane and ended up on a planet used as a dump by a magictech society. They can not leave, at least yet and have just started to figure out how to cobble the junk into some useful devices. The monstrous dwellers of the planet are mostly vermin...

Read Parasite Rex. Plenty of examples and how parasites affect the world around them (for better and worse).

Duergar feeding their spider mounts. Unless it is mobile, I doubt any fungi would grow fast enough to beat the vermin and oozes to the carcass. Also, don't forget internal parasites that burrow out upon death. IMC, dragons have a very heavy parasite load and their bodies don't last long when...

Yes. I like them more than the sheens since they are more practical as war machines. Why have a humanoid bot when a tank or jet works that much better? The spilt xp might be an issue?? Here are the stats and weapons (note I cut and pasted from the pdf, some of the text might be strange)...

The CC has those from Dragon 258 but not those from 270. Also has anyone converted the bots from Tale of the Comet?

Is Darkwalkers going to be in print at the same time?

But that doesn't answer my question- why the penny off? I think BP/DW are the only publishers to do so. As for being 20 bucks, I don't mind any more than the cost of Wildwood. It is worth getting in both formats.

Why is the pdf $19.99? In fact why are a lot of the Bastion pdfs $X.99?

The mockery bug sounds like a critter from the second MC for Dark Sun. It absorbed DNA via bloodfeeding and turned partially into whatever it ate. After feeding on a variety of monsters, it would make mongrel men look normal.

I would have prefered that over the faux accents in the movie. There were two scenes I couldn't understand a word the cooks said. OTOH, that would eliminate O'Toole from being in it and Ego was my favorite character.

So what is the release date on this puppy? I have heard the 1st of July and the 3rd week of July.

Parasites (host usually survives)/parasitoids (host dies) need more development. Marine segmented worms have potential. Unlike earthworms, many have eyes, jaws and tentacles. There was an article in Dragon 133 that needs updating. Lesser know insect orders, such as the webspinners and earwigs...

I am sick of parasitoids like this, but make it a parasite (ie the host survives and may be used over and over), then it has possibilities.
