But best of luck to Bad Axe Games.Not dropping Godsend at all, no, but maybe redefining a few of its parameters. For instance, dante has been clamouring for the inclusion of the Nosferatu in that book. But with the 4E Nosferatu in the very first Gods & Monsters pdf it might be better to use them in the 3.5 conversion of that book - rather than Godsend itself.I'll be taking names. Might need a few people to cover all the books...although who am I kidding...at my pace! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":o" title="Eek!    :o"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":o" />I suppose. However, definately the Bestiary coming out so long after the pdf really dented its sales and I can see the same happening with Ascension.I was initially going to make the transition adventure something like Kobold Hall in the 4E DMG. By that I mean in terms of the number of encounters (five). However if I was going to sell this 'prologue' on its own merits I think I'd need 8 encounters. I think that will make it substantial enough to warrant a painted cover and a handful of new monster stat blocks and illustrations.My current idea for this adventure is entitled L0* - "No Chance In Hell" and involves the Chinese Deity of Trickery/Thievery & Fire, No Cha. I had one freaky idea whereby you would actually fight No Cha in every encounter (changing his guises) amidst a gauntlet of traps although that might be tricky to pull off successfully.*Legendary ZeroNo Cha would also appear in the (eventual) Immortals Index - Chinese Mythology book. Each Immortals Index volume features 12 main entries, six protagonists and six antagonists, as well as noting some possible PCs/Heroes. Each of the 12 main entries is usually comprised of a small number of characters usually the primary deity, some linked secondary deity, an avatar or exarch and probably an aspect or creature. I'm thinking each Immortals Index will also contain a generic temple layout (I'll steal that idea from D&Dg) as well as a handful of generic worshippers and cultists (probably epic tier).The beauty of 4E is that creating monsters is easy - in fact I often have to hold back on the monster creation. The major problem is that more monsters means more required artwork - personally I think a monster (especially a new monster) needs art to bring it to life. Even if it means one of my 'journeyman' efforts.Understandable...I have been quite shy about mentioning it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
