[QUOTE="Undead Pete, post: 233186, member: 5215"] [b]Ulterior Motive[/b] There is an OBVIOUS reason why [I]Dragon[/I] is doing a Drow issue....namely the upcoming mega-module called [I]City of The Spider Queen[/I] . Haven't you noticed that WOC uses the mags to pre-market upcoming projects? Maybe it's overkill, but it's good business on their part. I like Drow every so often. Maybe it has been played out, but to the new gamers (people who have discovered D&D in the past 2-3 years), it hasn't. I agree that they should focus more on the entire Underdark. There are [COLOR=orangered]TONS[/COLOR] of races that have been overlooked or completely forgotten. [list] [*]Duergar - some may say that they're just dwarves in drow clothing, but I disagree. They just haven't been developed much. [*]Derro - Another missed opportunity. Think of how the Derro/Duergar interaction could be enhanced. [*]Neogi - Does anyone remember these creepy eel/spider slavers? I have them as my main underground foe in my campaign. [*]Rom - Undead subterranean giants - where did they go?? [*]Skum - Just the name makes them cool. [*]Many more..... [/list] I'd like to see something on these races and more. Hmmm....maybe I'll send in a proposal to Dragon. [/QUOTE]
