Re: Re: How about natural animals?

I don't find it disingenuous at all... since the advent of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the mightiest of beasts, the tarrasque, has been found to advance and evolve into a Tiny beast...

The killer rabbit.

Makes sense to me that things get tougher as they get smaller - after all, they get harder to hit and get big nasty sharp pointed teeth...

--The Sigil

LOL- good point Sigil. Not sure if you ever saw it, but last April Fool's Day, I converted that very rabbit and posted it on the site. It might make an appearance again at some point in the future.

Im just here to thank them again for the effort that will be appreciated by all gamers. This book is going to be on of those "special" pieces for anyone to have. I just hope to get one before they sell out!!

I'm with you on that skeetyrbug. Scott, I appreciate all the hard work you've put into this and look forward to purchasing it and hopefully somehow getting it signed by you and Clar... er... Orcus. 400+ creatures... this book is gonna ROCK!!!!

Thanks for the kind words Alaric (you too Skeetyr). I think you guys will really like the book. Granted a lot of the stuff is available on my site, but

#1- I fixed ALL the typos and errors for the book (and will do it for the site, just havent had time yet)

#2- full artwork for each and every monster.

#3- some of the conversions on my site are like 2+ years old and formatting them/looking at them again for the book let me see newer and better ways to do certain things, so quite a few things have been changed for the book.

#4- The demon lords/princes and arch devils that appear in the ToH are completely different than the ones on my site. When I first converted them for the site I wasnt very happy with them, so I redid them...then I redid them again. And finally once again I redid them for the site.

BUT- I hit on a system (that makes them compatible with all the new neat 3e stuff including DDG) and have reworked them for the ToH. The versions I did for the book....I am happy with....very happy with. Granted, I DIDNT use anything per se from the DDG book (it isnt in the SRD yet), but it gave me some ideas for the demon lords and devils and so I incorporated them in there.

I don't suppose you could give us a "sample" demon lord, eh Scott?

Anyways, I am of course looking forward to this tome, and I appreciate the time you and your team have put into it.

I'll leave that up to Orcus...err Clark. He posted a few teasers on the Necromancer Boards for the upcoming Necropolis book, so I would imagine at some point as the release date draws near, he will post something from the book. He's just evil that way.
