The OVAs -- which provide as much material as a whole 'nother season -- were abjectly missing from the write-up.

You are correct. They are missing because they are owned by a different company and would have required a separate license. The unfortunate thing about many Japanese licenses is that various parts (anime, manga, novels, etc.) are often owned by separate parties. Legally we are only allowed to cover what is in the material we've licensed and nothing else. To go beyond (such as covering the OAVs) would require a different license with a different company. And would have to appear in a different book...

Dammit. If a moderator could delete my two duplicated posts (and this one), I would appreciate it. I was having trouble posting my reply (or, more accurately, loading EnWorld at all...) this afternoon which, of course, means all attempts actually succeeded in going through... Stoopid computers...

Sorry about the machine gun responses...

and a mysterious half-golem shaman, who is determined to regain his human body once more.

I just wanted to nit-pick here, Zelgadis is one-third golem, one-third demon, and one-third human. Likewise, what we've seen of him indicates that his shamanism powers come from his demonic side (since his invulnerable physique comes from his golem side, as Dilgear found out).

Ahem. That said, I've been looking forward to this book for quite a while, but at the rate I'm going, I doubt I'll get a copy before GenCon. Looking forward to it though!

Oops. You're right. That'll teach me to proof more thoroughly before I put out an announcement. I got it right in the book, though.
