Zapranoth It's been a long, long time but check out Fred Saberhagen's novel The Black Mountains, the second book in the Empire of the East Trilogy. These books were hugely influential on D&D, with elemental summoning (and the old distance distortion spell), djinn, and . . . demon princes...

The old 1st edition supermodule "Egg of the Phoenix" there is an interesting segment that takes place in Sepulchre, a pocket dimension on the Negative Energy Plane. (For some background, check out this thread: http://www.enworld.org/archive/index.php/t-191969.html). Did Sepulchre ever appear in...

Wouldn't it have been far, far, easier to just give the succubus an additional alternate form -- their true form, perhaps -- that is some chaotic mass of horrible fleshy protoplasm or some such nastiness. Bam! Now she fits the demonic model. Maybe that "pretty girl with bat wings" false form is...

Yeah, the Pathfinder variant on the "new" statblock format is really nice, with several small but significant improvements over both the WotC and Dungeon versions. I especially like the inclusion of the tactical information, which describes what the monster will do before combat, during combat...

Got mine Monday, and have been going through it slowly. So far, it looks fantastic . . . I'll definitely post a review soon. I honestly had some doubts about the Pathfinder project, but just from what I've read so far, the first installment has sold me on this series.

I only know the versions from the Miniatures Handbook, but I think you might be right -- I can't find anything that says applying a Sudden metamagic is a swift, or for that matter, any action. Are there Sudden feats in the PHBII? Maybe I am crazy.

Holy crap that sounds cool. I don't suppose you have a scan of that article?

I have a power gamer player whose invoker has taken all of the Sudden feats, and I don't think they are broken. These feats do not stack, because applying them is a swift action, and only one swift action can be taken each round.

Yeah, I'm on board. Never saw the original chapbooks, but have never read anything but good about them.

Anyone know when the hard copy version of this book will be available? I have a preorder in through Paizo, but no ETA.

I think that if Wolfgang Baur's "Kingdom of the Ghouls" (Dungeon 60) had not come out in the twilight days of TSR, it would have had a good shot at being the definitive 2e adventure. Not enough people had a chance to marvel at its ghoulish goodness.

Yeah, Wilderlands is about as good as it gets. Though I hope that City of Brass gives it a run for the money.

I believe IE has a setting that's something like "display full server information" which by default is set to an abbreviated mode. Change that setting and you should start getting essentially the same information Firefox returns.

Support for the OGL was my single biggest concern about 4e; I feel much better about this project now.

4iners

You know, I actually needed to download a 3e character sheet tonight, but this banner is everywhere.

Definitely 4th edition. That sure looks like concept art in the top register, and a big D&D logo behind the dice. Let the era of "Unofficial 4th Edition News" begin.

Outstanding. Many thanks!

Huh. I just re-upped, but my account seems to not be working.

Maybe.
