Promise: We will have a monster book out for early 4E. We will be paying the $5k. We will be early adopting. Scott Greene and I are concepting out monsters as I type this.
See this thread: [edit: removed link to this thread]
Hopefully, WotC will allow the GSL to work with OGL content (or will give us permission) so we can redo some of the classic monsters from our original Tome of Horrors. But even if they dont, we will have a monster book.
Count on it. And count on it kicking butt.
I am so geeked about 4E monster design I cant even see straight right now. They did an awesome job on the 4E monsters. These sample monsters are so great and the exception based approach really makes every monster so much fun and so unique. Scott and I are absolutely going crazy right now!
So you heard it here--Necro, early adopter, Tome of Horrors 4th Edition will happen. Period. With or without the old monsters.

JesterOC said:I recall hearing from one designer about 3E (Actually I think it was a game designer who had spoken with 3E guys when making a PC game off of the new 3d edition rules so technically this is hearsay (sp?)).
Anyway I heard that the prime reason they went with set powers and cookie cutter abilities was that 1st and 2nd edition had several monsters with the same abilities but had very different game mechanics. 3E by unifying them they were able to add consistency to the game.
I think 4E monsters are great but there is a possibility that we will end up with the same problems over time.
