Anyone seen Dragon 352 yet?

I'm looking forward to seeing how much of this article actually sees print... it gets a little naughty in places...

Well, you could always release the edited bits as a Harlequin novel.

Also, you really don't get to see the final drafts of your articles? Don't you work with those Paizo guys? Or did you eat them?

As James sits right behind me, I generally chat with him about anything that gets significantly altered. He has not seen much of this one yet, because we are not quite done with it.

And.. we ate it Wednesday night.

James, what are the odds of us getting a peak at the stuff that was cut?

I generally don't see the final drafts of my articles. Nor do I really need to. As Jason says, we sit right next to each other so it's easy for him to yell over the wall and ask what the heck I was thinking when I tried to get a certain turn of phrase published in his "family magazine." In any case, I trust the guys over on the Dragon side to make things better, not worse.

What I'm actually talking about is the fact that this Demonomicon, more than the others, pushed the PG-13/R boundary that, had it been submitted to Dungeon, I probably would have cut from the article myself.

 

[Desdichado]

Is that a pretty hard and fast boundary? I haven't read it in a few years, but I remember thinking that adventure published in conjunction with The Book of Vile Darkness was pretty solidly on the R-rated side, myself.

James,

I'm sure it's a pipe dream, but I'd like to add my two cents to say that it would be great to see the cut material in a web enhancement.

I can't remember. Does the paizo user id do any birthday checking? can you limit dling a web enhancement to 13 year olds?

 

[Zaukrie]

I can imagine what this article might contain, and I hope you managed to pull it off and still be PG13.

Boo!

The Princes of Elemental Good (by Kevin Baase and Eric Jansing, sound familiar? ) - Seek the aid of the Elemental Planes' goodly archomentals. Ben Hadar, Chan, Sunnis, and Zaman Rul oppose the wicked plots and wanton destruction of the Princes of Elemental Evil.

Yay!

How is this different from the corpse gatherer from the MM II?

Sorry...too lazy to look. Willing am I to post what I got in the mail...less willing to go dig up a rulebook that's buried in a pile somewhere and do a compare-and-contrast.
