Ah yes, this will be mine. Well, I have to say it; between Necromancer Games, Goodman Games, XRP, and Troll Lords, you guys are all doing a heck of a job of keeping me in the doghouse with my wife and emptying my wallet. Should I just go ahead and give you my bank account numbers ?

If you insist...

DUDE! That so rocks! I was wondering when I'd have to kill erhm buy it.

*still might kill/sacrifice a few for it.* Hey it paid the way for me to get RARE.

All new artifacts. Excellent. Shame I would like to have seen a reworked Heward's Mystical organ but still.

Oh, there are quite a few of the old classic artifacts I'd have loved to include if I could. Alas, none of them are Open Content.

Heck, I couldn't even write up one of the best artifact ideas I had, because it involved beholders, and by the time I thought of it we were too late in the process to take the time and go try to get permission from WotC to use them.

Ari, you might have heard of a product from Lion's Den Press, published through Ronin Arts, called The Iconic Bestiary: Classics of Fantasy, that has a monster thematically similar to the beholder, the Evil Eye, and could have been used in its place. I'm sure the book's author wouldn't have minded.

lol

Oh, I definitely thought about it. But the sad truth is, this idea was one of those 1% of cases where the evil eye wouldn't have worked instead of a beholder, because of the physical differences between them.

Pathetic, no? I come up with a critter meant to fill the beholder's role in-game, and then I turn right around and come up with an idea where the cosmetic differences are enough to torpedo it.
