[QUOTE="JacktheRabbit, post: 463686, member: 525"] Jim Ward of Fast Forward Entertainment has put out his latest 900 word. These are generally essays by him on various items. This latest one is on being Monty Haul and how wonderful a campaign is when Monty Haul is your DM's style of play. He then goes even further by suggesting that WOTC supports Monty Haul Style by putting out the Epic Level Handbook. I guess this would all be expected. Fast Forward Entertainment under him has put out product after product that are nothing but poorly designed Monty Haul fests. Monster numbers are outrageous and every creature tougher than a goblin has a dragons horde under his pillow. Because of this Fast Forward probably has the lowest average review rationg of any company that has put out more than 5 products. So what does everyone think? Is Jim right? Is DnD 3E aimed towards Monty Haul with ELH as proof of this? Or is the rest of the 3E gaming world right in their more realistic and balanced format? Personally I have to side with the majority here. Not only if FFE's games monty haul in their treasure, but the material itself is often so poorly designed that you get the impression that hours not weeks were put into the creation of those products.
