What about the giant d20 monster book?

Did it make production in time, or is it a no-go?

I'm interested in his as well, but a little worried, based on John Cooper's review of their ME 2.

 

[JoeGKushner]

Any info on the big old monster book? Or in other words... bump!

 

[TroyXavier]

Will have to get Dawn of Destruction.

Hi guys,

Apologies for the delay - I am in the US at the moment and have just convinced my laptop to talk to the hotel's wireless network

The Big Monster Book has been put on hold. The good news is that we have Mr John Cooper going through every stat with a fine toothcomb. The bad news is that this project spiralled in size and breadth throughout development to the extent that we could no longer keep it in check! We did consider releasing a pint-sized version but that woulde just be a shadow of our former idea.

This book will come out at a later date but only when we are absolutely, positively sure that it is complete, correct and a 'must-have' for every gamer's shelf.

Better to have it done right the first time I say.

 

[TroyXavier]

Very true, and we know John will definitely give it the fine tooth comb treatment.

SOLD

 

[DaveMage]

That's one way to make sure it never gets reviewed...

Seriously, though, I agree with TB - this one went from a "wait and see" to a "sold".
