[Mustrum_Ridcully]

Hopefully it will go into loving detail about how Cormyr is now a burned-out, demon-haunted ruin. I don't think it will, but I can hope!

Your name does your honor... I guess.

That navel thing is bizarre and creepy. I do hope there's an explanation for it beyond the obvious:

1) OMG navels are pornography! (I dunno, maybe they are on the moon or something)

or

2) Artist is suffering from brain problems

Maybe it's just "Artist is nearly finished but not quite".

I've seen girls where you can't see the navel, even if they wear bare midriff clothing. I especially remember a friend of my female flatmate...
I haven't found out yet if it's the clothing itself or a "hick-up" of the anatomy. If I can find a test subject where I can analyze this in detail, I would be ready to share this information, except that I am also a gentleman. (What's the translation for "Ein Gentleman genießt und schweigt?")

 

[Razz3e]

Totally freaking lame, Codex of the Betrayer, a devil-version of the Demonomicon, is now out finally? But, of course, those of us playing 3E are totally screwed out this. Not fair, why does 4E get this material and 3E was left to dry when people asked for it?

So wrong. And what's worse, one cannot convert a 4E monster to 3E at all since the rules are so different and incompatible...*sigh* Jealousy at the treasures of 4E that 3E was SUPPOSED to receive continues to grow unabated.

 

[The Little Raven]

Not fair, why does 4E get this material and 3E was left to dry when people asked for it?

Ask Paizo. They were in charge back then.

And what's worse, one cannot convert a 4E monster to 3E at all since the rules are so different and incompatible...

The only thing preventing you from converting monsters from 4e to 3e is you.

 

[Serendipity]

Honestly, the Artificer, and the Codex of Betrayal are really the only things that leap out at me.
The Ecology article will either be made of Win or pure Fail - I don't see how it can score any middle ground. Regardless of the general opinion of DB in 4e.

 

[Rechan]

The monster design article will be useful if it's more an illustration of the step by step process.

I hope hope hope they have something on creating balanced minions, too. As well as good power selection choices (like interrupts for elites, etc).

 

[Boarstorm]

In regards to the belly button "controversy" I have two epileptic tree theories:

1) It's hidden by her belt buckle.

B) She's a Huma... Err.. Half-Elf Replica Droi... err.. Warforged. Grown in a test tu... vial.

Wouldn't be the first one, either.

 

[racoffin]

The only thing preventing you from converting monsters from 4e to 3e is you.

QFT.

Instead of being upset about it, Razz3e, look upon it as a blessing. You have the material, and with a bit of work you can tweak it to fit the rules system you desire. Better than not having it all, neh?

 

[Jack the Red]

I have no problem with the belly button thing.

SHE HAS A PENCIL ON HER EAR!

A PENCIL!

gah, I was loving the drawning until I saw this.

 

[mhacdebhandia]

Because the people at Paizo magazine didn't give a good goddamn about the devils.

 

[Shroomy]

I don't know why I'm even bothering respond to Razz, but I would like to point out that WoTC did publish some 3.5e dukes of hell stats in early Dragon articles, and Kobold Quarterly has its own series exploring unique devils. Last I heard, that was still 3.5e.
