I'm curious to see Alan's take on it. Perhaps because it was first, I enjoyed it a touch more than I did Green Ronin's book (although I think that has some great art and layout) so his review will be most interesting to read.

The hardback is awesome (I'm tempted to review it) so I'm sure the PDF is great too.

The hardback is awesome (I'm tempted to review it) so I'm sure the PDF is great too.

Go with that temptation

I don't know if you ever read any of my threads in the rogues gallery, but I got a fair bit of usage out of the original version. It was that book that made me less shy about stacking 3,4,5 templates on to make a unique concept.

I met Frilf and his wife ( I assume ) at GenCon, and both book and author are very cool.

 

[Frilf]

Yes, that lady was my wife

I'm glad I got to meet Psion, Crothian, Buttercup, and the rest of the EN World crew that was at the Con (please forgive me if I forgot someone!)

Which Alan?

I got the original version in PDf, because Frilf liked what I did with some templated kobolds. Over all I liked what I saw, largely because of the quality of the writing and the presentation. The advice at the back of the book regarding using templates to create new monsters was excellent. I haven't seen the new edition yet, but if it continues the tradition established by the first I would have to recommend it.

A savage, celestial, vampire kobold anyone?

Unfortunately, the appendix on stacking multiple templates has been removed from the final product due to space and other considerations. However, I believe it will be available as a Web Enhancement in the immediate future, so the material will still "be there" with no extra charge
