[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 796786, member: 326"] Hey Dark Wolf mate! :) Great site. I visit there a few times a week, even if I haven't posted much of late. :o Serge and I handle a few things differently, essentially he still operates wholly within the framework of D&Dg...and I don't. Hopefully when he gets the IH I can change his mind on that, or at least give him an alternative that presents some interesting ideas. Left of centre. :p Yes. Unfortunately while the name Demogorgon is freely available, the concept of two mandrill heads and tentacles (etc.) is not, and since in my estimation that 'is' what Demogorgon looks like his presence won't grace the IH. That said, Asmodeus may find his way into the book, I'm still pondering on whether to include him now or save him for a near future product. On a different note I still haven't got my hands on the Book of Vile Darkness though I did by chance come across the art gallery for the book on wizards website and I must admit Demogorgons picture is utterly rubbish. In fact the art in that book (particularly the Demon Princes and Archdevils) was atrocious...a few peices aside (Bel, Mammon, Mephisto, Yeenoghu and possibly Orcus). I mean they paid absolutely no respect to what has gone before, the creatures bear no resemblance to earlier iterations and in my opinion suffer badly because of it. :mad: The problem with Demons/Devils [i]et al[/i] is that they have a clearly defined hierarchy in 3rd Ed. Thats something I would rather expand upon than upset. As such there is not much you can do without eventually encroaching on that hierarchy. eg. By that I mean you can't have lots of new non-unique intelligent, powerful demon types running around because we know that the Balor is the big boy on the block and above those sit Demon Lords and the rest. However, there are a few cards you can still play without upsetting the applecart as it were (if you'll excuse the mixed metaphor). ;) [/QUOTE]
