The little folk....

[Argent Silvermage]

Scooting over to BaxAxe right now and getting a copy!
I love the little people! Gnome and Halflings and Kender!

Bunny with a pancake, eh? That's some weird, wild stuff...

You must be so cool...

I, er, wrote Quint. Halfling, so you should all buy it.

Actually, looking over Wulf's press release (here), the two books should work quite well together. I tried to move away from rogues a small bit, and concentrated a lot on family and clan stuff.

And since the master chef was mentioned:

The best of the chefs sometimes manage to rise to the rank of Master Chef. This takes more than merely honing one's cooking skills; the Master Chef must be ready to quest for the rarest ingredients, study the arts of alchemy and herbalism, and even master a little magic. A druid will willingly tell (or, more likely, lecture you at length) that every living thing contains within it a spark of divine life energy, and that consuming this spark in the feral rush of the hunt is a sacrament of life and an affirmation of the great cycle of nature; furthermore (quoth the druid) most civilised meals take too long and by the time the food is prepared, the divine spark of life it once contained has decayed and vanished, devoured by entropy and lost of the cycle forever. The Master Chef, then, must learn to nurture and preserve the little spark of life in his ingredients as he prepares the meal, coaxing it back into full bloom until a meal of venison and vegetables gives the diners a sense of crashing through the greenwood, heavy antlers weighing down their heads and hot blood rushing through their veins while simultaneously hurling their souls into the dark loam of the earth, there to slowly take root and grow and sprout, a long slow black green moment of constant life. The Master Chef stands between life and death, between hunter and hunted, and draws all the world in until the experiences of a hundred lifetimes explode out with every transcendent mouthful!

They also cook.

based on Switzerland - so if I should ever manage to get this published, be sure to buy it!

That picture just brought up the idea of halflings in lederhosen, drinking beer, making chocolate, and every other stereotype I could conjure up...a nice chuckle for today.

Anybody have any info on when either The Quintessential Halfling or Heroes of High Flavor: Halflings are due out? I know that they are both supposed to come out "soon", but I was hoping to get a more specific answer.

Gotta love them halflings....

I don't have the book nor have I ever played a halfling. BUT, I'm not opposed to doing so, and actually am considering either a gnome or halfling for my next character

And Lidda from Scourge of Worlds was very cool!

MrFilthyIke: the "buddy Christ icon" is just wrong . . . funny, but disturbing.

Well, I know the BadAxe one is at the printers. Probably means about 2 1/2 to 3 weeks before it hits distributors and 3 weeks until it hits stores. It really depends on the printer at this point though. Perhaps Wulf has a better idea...

Glad to hear Quint is so different - I'll have to grab that one and check out our different approaches.

Hey and I happen to know there is a fun little adventure in the BadAxe version, because I wrote it.

According to Mongoose's website HERE (scroll down the main page), The Quintessential Halfling should be out sometime this month.
