Message: <blockquote data-quote="Word" data-source="post: 611409" data-attributes="member: 4867">Added ValueHey again, you all,    d20Dwarf is right, The Penumbra Fantasy Bestiary makes already-terrific books like the Monster's Handbook even more valuable.     Keep in mind that The Bestiary is a completely original work, with no reprinted monsters. Giving new life to classic monsters is great, but that's not what we're doing in The Bestiary. The creation and presentation of 220 original monsters and templates isn't cheap (see John's explanation above), but you get what you pay for.    Likewise, if the Tome of Horrors is excellent at 328 pages, then The Bestiary is downright awesome at 368 pages, right? Believe me, I can understand the sticker shock, but I trust that when you see the book on the shelves of your local retailer you'll see a lot more than the price tag. You have to decide for yourself whether or not to buy the book, but The Bestiary will make a good case for itself when you meet it face to face. I think it's worth saving up for, myself.      So how long do you have to set aside your nickels? Well, the Bestiary is being proofread right now. That's a herculean task suitable for two Benedictine monastery's worth of scribners but we're doing it all ourselves, so it'll take us some time. Once that's done, though, the book goes to the printer for six weeks of delicate care and master craftsmanship.    Why six weeks? Well, normally the printer just handles the book themselves, but this time they've got to hire wranglers and rent tranquilizer guns because the book is such a monster. It can smell fear, remember.*word,Will HindmarchAtlas Games*Again with the smelling and the fear stuff.</blockquote>
