Oh, I quite agree that Mongoose has put out some really excellent products (and continues to do so). I've given them 5-star reviews on many occasions. I don't think it's a matter of thinking that "Mongoose hasn't improved" as a generic statement, just that "Mongoose hasn't managed to eradicate...

You need not concern yourself about that. Every reviewer has his or her own unique spin on a product. Some, like me, place stat block accuracy and proofreading/editing very high on thier list of importance, while other really don't care about such things. Over time, people learn what's...

I'm not sure about Volume 2, but I do know that Robert just rereleased Volume 1 (there was a thread about that just yesterday I think). In any case, if Volume 2 isn't rereleased yet, it should be very soon. Plus, as I understand it, if you buy it today and Robert doesn't have it fixed up yet...

E.N. Critters Volume 3 - Tulenjord: Land Of The Fallen One E.N. CRITTERS VOLUME 3 - TULENJORD: LAND OF THE FALLEN ONE By Joshua Courtney, Robert Lajoie, Rich McCarthy, and Jim E. Vilandre E.N. Publishing product number ENP 791 56-page PDF, $7.95 E.N. Critters Volume 3 - Tulenjord: Land of the...

The third volume in the E.N. Critters series of Open Gaming Content Sourcebooks – Tulenjord: Land of the Fallen One. The E.N. Critters series as a whole is a set of theme-based creature books. This volume deals with cold-themed critters - creatures living in and around a floating iceberg island...

I'm glad to hear that, and given that the first book wasn't constrained to evil alignments, I had hoped that it would be better than the second book was. I'd still be interested in seeing the first book, though. Contrary to what many probably believe, I'm a fan of Mongoose's stuff; they have...

James: Okay, sounds like we're cool, then. I can certainly see your point of view, as well, and you certainly have a lot more people sharing your view than I have sharing mine. (If this WAS a "stat block war," my "army" would be destroyed pretty quickly!) :) In any case, keep up the good...

I have cheerleaders? Crap! Don't mention that to my wife! :) It does sound like the new stat blocks should make things run smoother during use, which is obviously a good thing. I'm also glad to hear that the new system doesn't eat up too much more space, as that was a concern. I'll have to...

Since I'm working under the assumption that you're referring to my reviews (I'm the only one I know of that habitually lists "50 tiny little stat block errors" in a review of a product), I'll respond. It seems like your "test" analogy is assuming an English essay test, where the teacher can...

Monster Encyclopaedia II - Dark Bestiary MONSTER ENCYCLOPAEDIA II - DARK BESTIARY By J. C. Alvarez Mongoose product number MGP 1051 256 pages, $39.95 I've really enjoyed quite a few Mongoose products over the years. In fact, I can say quite honestly that if it hadn't been for Mongoose (and...

Most excellent!

Ouch.

Since their inception as an element of fantasy gaming, monsters have become little more than an obstacle for heroes to overcome. Even those well-thought out monsters with a complex background, story and motivation are, when all is said and done, put there to be defeated, so the player characters...

Yes, I'm aware of that. However, the "Ecology" articles in Dragon have done away with the Hit Dice being part of the equation, and they seem to work out much better that way (for reasons I mention in the review). I was just pointing out a better way of doing things, one that has already been...

E.N. Critters Volume 2 - Beyond The Campfire E.N. CRITTERS VOLUME 2 - BEYOND THE CAMPFIRE By Robert Lajoie, Chris Lapierre, Rich McCarthy, Bill Salloway, Nancy Vosnidou, and Jim E. Vilandre E.N. Publishing product number ENP-7711 50 pages, $7.45 E.N. Critters Volume 2 - Beyond the Campfire is...

That was the most disappointing series finale I can think of in a long time. Most of my points have already been made by others, but so much of the episode seemed to be leading up to things they just never got around to showing. Archer's Federation speech is the best example, but I was also...

Rob - I responded to your comment on the review site, and I just sent you the errata list to your (correct) email address. Thanks for the response. Now if we can just figure out how a "draft" copy was sent to me (and Crothian, it seems) for review, maybe we can prevent this sort of thing from...

For future reference, then, Morrus, what exactly is an "advance copy?" Is it a draft copy (and thus still a work in progress) or is it an identical copy of the same PDF that will shortly be put up for sale? Obviously, I had assumed the latter, and reviewed it accordingly. (Apparently Crothian...

Also, Claire's boyfriend in Australia didn't want the responsibility of being a father. And now Charlie's doing his best to be a "father stand-in" for, uh, "Turniphead." (Did you notice how he put a protective arm around Claire and the baby when they found out that Kate was a wanted fugitive...

That's entirely possible. The same day I posted my review, I sent my (rather extensive) error list to the guys who produced the product. If they've used my inputs to fix up their product, then kudos to them - that's always my intention when I provide inputs to the company. The product gets...
