[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 7805638, member: 326"] Howdy Rhuarc matey! :) I hate mentioning anything until its done...and you guys know how long I can take to get anything done. I have a few* epic monster ideas, basically comprising all the monsters I've designed but not released (maybe with a few retreads thrown in where necessary). I've subdivided them into manageable chunks (groups of 35 or so) and I have a few ideas how to turn these into (hopefully) interesting (mini) epic-adventures. *300-400 or so. So as you know I always plan big and then deliver small (but hopefully interesting stuff) so I have outlined 4 adventure paths of 3 adventures each. In effect 12 books. Obviously this is currently pie in the sky at this juncture. However, a few things are working in my favour here: 1. 5E is vastly simpler than 3E or even 4E. 2. I have a great artist (who is working on my comic book) ready to do the art (which I think will take him 7-8 weeks...once we get started). 3. Initial 'adventures' will be for Levels 17-20+ (but its still gonna get bonkers don't worry). So the books would be primarily a Bestiary of high-level monsters with enough of an adventure (using those new monsters) tacked on to make for a cool story and I would throw in a few new rules and ideas along the way. ;) At this point I have detailed notes on the first 3 adventures and I am musing over which to start with. I got to play a lot of 5th recently (thanks S'mon) and I am starting to see how it can work for Epic 17-20 Levels and above. The key is its simplicity and AC/Attack Bonus caps. [/QUOTE]
