Bye Monte!

[Dog Moon]

This is the second post to which I must say "Stop Getting My Hopes Up!!!!".

The first was a post elsewhere suggesting a Planescape TV series.

Oh man, Planescape TV series would be so awsome.

Seriously guys, I'm pretty sure 4e would count as Game Related, and thus not meant.

I wish Monte Cook the best, I hope he enjoys himself in his chosen field. I haven't been able to break into my chosen field yet (that being "lotto winner"), so it's always good when someone finds their place.

I've been studying in the "lotto winner" field too. I graduated last year and hope to get a job sometime soon!

I'd guess Fiendish Codex III would be that final product...

You wouldn't happen to be moving to Texas would you Monte?

Dear lord, don't let him get sucked into the pipe dream that is a resurgent Ultima Online.

Maybe Planescape Torment: 2? A planescape based MMORPG? Maybe a rich arabian shiehk offered him a harem and a dozen sportscars and a palace to be his personal DM?

DDO isn't doing nearly well enough to fantasize about a new D&D MMORPG. If Monte's working on one, it's a different franchise.

Monte, it has been an incredible ride. From Origins back in 2000, where I dogged you for several hours, listening/asking/absorbing as much as possible about he release of this crazy monster: 3rd edition.

I've loved your Malhavoc stuff. It has been truly groundbreaking, and is always the kind of thing I want to "slice" and "dice" into my home campaign.

Making yourself accessible through your site has provided me with many hours of fun and enjoyable gaming/sci-fi/comics/movies reading and ruminating.

I wish you tremendous luck on all your future projects.

My personal hopes for Monte's project(s):
1) 4e
2) MCORPG (that's Monte Cook's Online Roleplaying Game...)
3) Something completely "outside the box" like when Monte assisted with Heroclix

Ooo...imagine WoTC and WizKids going head to head with competing "tabletop" D&D minis games. Sweet action!

Juust about every MMO worth considering (outside of Korean developed properties) is developed in Austin, Texas.

That would include BioWare's new MMO in development. Last I checked, Monte worked with BioWare during the development of 3E (as BioWare was part of the 3E design process through NWN).

No inside info on this. "Just sayin'

The record of PnP gamers (successfully) going to the Dark "computer" Side (or The REAL business of gaming, if you prefer) is relatively light though.

Thanks for a lot of good stuff, and good luck chasing your dream.
