So am I Todd. This is some INCREDIBLE hockey.
Btw, since you're here, guess you guys are stoked about Beyond All Reason coming out VERY shortly.
Any comments you like to make at this time?
Oh yeah, Beyond All Reason should be out soon. Well, since you asked...
If you liked the ol' Against the Giants series, then give this one a try. Hack n' Slash with a heart. It's pretty epic (72 pages long), and I'm hoping there's enough twists n' turns to keep everyone happy. And even though the focus is taking out giants, there's enough role-playing situations to balance things out.
There's a thread kicking around about how to assault/defend a tower full of giants. Beyond All Reason has this, and then some. Not only does it have towers, it has war parties, base camps, and an active volcano. It has strange allies and even stranger enemies. It's got a touch of psionics. Its Druid friendly. It's got art by Claudio. It's high-level. It even has an ettin/athach crossbreed. Ya, I know, you figure it out.
Like I said, if you liked the "G" series, and you're thinking of picking up Monte's Queen of Lies for the Drow factor (and the Monte factor too I'm sure), then what you've got is a nice little Against the Giants/Decent into the Depths of the Earth nostalgia kick that's fun for the whole 3e family.
It even has honey mead for the Swedes to drown their sorrows in.
Cheers Nightfall!
Imagine a men's Canada/States final? That would mean that it would be OUR turn to pick the referee...heh.
