Merric, thanks for the detailed review. How's the editing on Upper Works? I understand this has been a problem for past TL offerings.

I've uploaded another 3.5e conversion of a WD adventure to my site: The Search for the Temple of the Golden Spire, a sweet little mix of wilderness and dungeon adventuring. Enjoy!

Thanks, Shade -- another set of eyes is much appreciated.

I recently posted to my website a conversion of a monster I've been itching to do for ages. Ever read Lloyd Alexander's fantastic Chronicles of Prydain? His Huntsmen of Annuvin are a band of cursed killers and murderers with a very special ability: whenever one of their number is killed, the...

The first few splatbooks for any new edition of any system are almost always devoted to updating older material to the new edition; things that were too cool to be jettisoned outright but maybe not so cool or important that they had to be included in the new core. While most veterans would...

I'm looking for an open content prestige class, something like "bogeyman" or "stalker." Basically, a lurking stealth type that sows fear in its prey. Ring any bells?

That's a shame, then.

I just finished Classic Monsters Revisited, and on the whole found it to be a very nice little read. Like all Paizo books, it looks great and has terrific production values. And the writing is strong throughout, even though it appears that several different authors were working on this one. I...

The "living wall" appeared in White Dwarf 7 (June/July 1978). It was renamed "stunjelly" and included in the first edition Fiend Folio. Hint: All three monsters Plane Sailing offered were created by the same person.

So any one-handed weapon can be used two-handed without restrictions?

The Full Attack line for a centaur reads: Full Attack: Longsword +7 melee (2d6+6/19-20) and 2 hooves +3 melee (1d6+2); or composite longbow (+4 Str bonus) +5 ranged (2d6+4/×3) A centaur's Strength is 18 (+4). Why is the damage bonus for the longsword +6, as if the longsword were wielded...

I've ordered this book from Amazon, and they tell me it shipped Saturday, so they must have some copies in stock, too. I'm really looking forward to reading this one. I see that several people here are agitating for OGL versions of the mind flayer and beholder. Check out Ari Marmell's...

How much is that in ego bucks? Awesome.

Well, the news page details silver and gold winners, but aren't there honorable mentions for each category as well?

In limited use, I really liked how the positive energy channeling worked for the PCs, but I do see it as a significantly asymmetrical ability next to negative energy channeling. Negative energy affects living creatures, right? And while there are lots of undead in D&D, they are (normally)...

No, this is wrong. The current plan is this: Necro is going 4e, but because of the GSL they will not be doing a ToH4e. They will be doing a 4e monster book, but it won't be a ToH. Clark has talked about doing a full color ToH for Pathfinder.

The Crypt only contains monsters that were updated in WotC material, right? If so, I definitely think the Crypt should be folded back into the regular conversions. And frankly, because so many of the official WotC versions were more radical re-imaginings * than actual conversions, I'm not sure...

And his empirical data matched up pretty closely with my experience converting a metric buttload of old adventures to 3.5e. Most things mapped pretty closely, with the exception of monetary treasure. (1e mid and high level adventures tended to have a ton more loot than the 3e guidelines would...

That's right -- and I think Lair really stands up well today.

Monsters from the Lair of Maldred the Mighty I've uploaded a 3.5e conversion of another classic White Dwarf scenario, "The Lair of Maldred the Mighty," complete with two new undead: the doombat and the guardian skeleton. (The morghiss had already been converted separately.)
