[KoK] Monster list for upcoming book

[Mark Plemmons]

Some of the material looks like it's appeared before. I think that the aquatic tarrasque for example was in the Tombs module. This should be an interesting book. Is this one still being done by the Troll Lords or ?

Yes, some of the monsters that appeared in older KoK modules and supplements appear in this book, revised for D&D 3.5. (All monsters will also have tactics round-by-round, btw.)

Some monsters in the book (approximately 10-15 in the final cut) were written by the guys at Troll Lords, based on ideas I gave them or ideas of their own. Of course, the final version was edited in-house to make sure it fits the KoK setting.

Page count? Price? Hardcover? Black and White?

Sorry if this has already been answered, but whats the planned release date for this book?

Also, how compatible/generic will it be for use outside of the Kalamar setting?

The book is going to WotC for the second approval stage this week. After any revisions, it'll go for a final approval stage. So our current estimate is June.

It's completely portable to any other setting. All setting-specific information is clearly defined in the last section of the descriptive text, entitled "On Tellene" (like "In the Realms" in the Monsters of Faerun book). Other Tellene-specific info is clearly labeled and set apart in sidebars and appendices.

Originally, the book was solicited as a 176-page b&w hardcover, for $24.99. However, the page count will probably be higher. I won't know for sure until we've hit the final approval stage.

Wow! What a great list! I can't wait for this book! The only thing that I wish could have been added was Pack Ape, from HackMaster. Any chance of sneaking it in??



Thanks

YES!

i suspect this will be an even bigger selling point for this book than the flumph was for the Tome of Horrors.
