I literally have no idea what is in my own book since I dont have the rules yet and any work that has been done has been by a freelancer under an NDA. So I said--you know what I want, get going! He has created classes and races but he cant show them to me yet. How funny is that!But my directive was this--if it is 1E, it has to be there. If there are no monks or bards or barbarians or gnomes or druids or half-orcs, then make them. Our players need to be able to run those kinds of characters. Right away. But I know one day WotC will publish official books with that content. So I wanted to keep our book short and usable. I didnt just want to make some hardback to cash in. I wanted a book designed by a design expert--heck, he may even be working on the official versions one day--that people could get right away to fill the play gap for classes that arent in the core 4E rulebooks. You will also get some alternatives to rules if there is stuff in 4E that I want to improve. Some notes on alignment as an optional rule. Some variant monsters, such as the succubus as a demon and some of the classic monsters "done right" presented as variants so that you can preserve your game with 1E feel.</blockquote>
