Message: <blockquote data-quote="(un)reason" data-source="post: 9166335" data-attributes="member: 27780">Dungeon Issue 88: Sep/Oct 2001part 6/6Monster Tokens - Set Three: This is pretty similar to the previous instalments, containing a mix of monsters from this issue and the last one. Regular size counters are Basilisk, Ghost, Fiendish Girallon, Ghost, Half-Dragon, Wraith, Ghast, Hill Giant, Kyton, Naga, Ice Mephit, Troll, Shambling Mound, Stirge, Frost Giant, Ice Golem, Vargoulle, Vrock, Darkmantle, Kurge, Wolf, Lamia, Krenshar and Goblin. (a lot of size variation while still occupying a 5x5 square.) Only one long monster this time, a two-headed Griffon, which is very specific to have a counter for. Things occupying a 10x10 space are a Tendriculos, White Dragon and Purple Worm, which are more likely to turn up in other adventures in the future and be reusable.This issue feels like a 2e throwback in both the good and the bad ways, with significantly less dungeoncrawling and more chances to actually roleplay, but also more extraneous setting waffle and railroading. As such, it’s definitely useful to the people who are still on the fence about converting, or who want more variety in general, but the average quality level isn’t as high as recent issues. How will they balance the demands of their readers next time? Will they ever do any more solo adventures? When will they get around to the next big series of linked ones? We’ll find out eventually, but first it’s time to finish the final standalone issue of Polyhedron and see if that gets a good sendoff, or is rolled into the back of the larger magazine and driven away with barely time to wave goodbye.</blockquote>
