Dragon 334, Malhavoc's Surprise = Ptolus

[Vigwyn the Unruly]

If it really is Ptolus, I for one think that it will be really cool. Monte is known as one of the best DMs out there, so his home campaign has to be worth a look.

If I wanted someone's homebrew, I'd stick with Keith Baker.

Ptolus. Hmmmmm...
Well, it could be good or it could be no big deal. The devil's in the details as far as campaign settings go. Having run the Banewarrens, the setting is a little extreme for
most of my tastes, but I can see the appeal.

Hmmm...

Sorry, I just copy/pasted a reply to another thread here. I hope none of you saw it...

 

[Nightfall]

Yeah well I know I didn't much care for the background stuff in Banewarrens.

I have #334 in my hands. It's............................Ptolus.

Full-color. 640 pages. Sweetness.

Neat. I'll have to read up on it. If nothing else it will have the benefit of years of playtesting.

How does Ptolus go to the heart of D&D, 3rd edition or otherwise?

 

[EricNoah]

It instead zeroes in on the heart of 3rd edition and the core rules. That, in fact, is the point of it, although it may not seem that way at first glance.

Not knowing much about the setting, was Ptolus developed around the time that you were working on 3E?

Well I think Monte used a lot of his house rules for 3.0. I could be wrong.

Frankly I don't believe the guy who says its Ptolus.
