[QUOTE="kenmarable, post: 3339773, member: 40359"] WOO frigging HOO!! Sorry, just had to do a little celebratory dance. I actually didn't know if they were going to print my article or not. I have no idea what the final state of the article is, especially since what I delivered was longer than requested, of course. So I certainly can't spill any beans on what is coming out even if I didn't have an NDA. :) But I'm glad I'm not the only one who loves the little guys. They really did get the 3.x shaft. I will say that I was very pleased with how my draft turned out, which is difficult considering everyone is their own worst critic. Again, I have no idea what the final article looks like, but when I sat down with the modrons from 1st, 2nd, and 3rd edition (MotP web enhancement), I realized that they were nearly word for word the exact same descriptions. So I decided not to do the exact same thing again only with 3.5 stats and MM4 formatting. Of course, I tried to stay true to them, but I also tried to breath some new life into them with some plot ideas and some loving for the lesser used modrons (there are more than monodrones and quadrones after all, and they could have used some stuff to make them a bit more interesting and more than just fillers in the mathematical progression). But who knows, my article might have been totally gutted and rewritten and leaving my name on the preview is a typo. So we'll see. This creates the dilemma of whether to celebrate tonight with the wife and kids, or watch Heroes? :P [/QUOTE]
