[QUOTE="Khur, post: 4169051, member: 5583"] OK. How does a June 6th comeback work for you? New name okay? Hope so, because the MM is printing now, and those presses ain't stopping to save that name. :o Oh, and nobody's trying to make shadar-kai the next drow. Maybe back in the 3e Fiend Folio, when Jesse Decker created them, that was a strategy. That was 5 years ago by a couple weeks. That make the issue a little dated, doesn't it? In fact, we did a lot of work to make them distinct from drow. They seemed like an obvious choice for a low-level threat/potential PC race from the Shadowfell in the new cosmology. Seems like every plane has one or more of those these days. I take that as a good thing. As far as I know, R&D likes all the monsters that are in the MM. If someone considers shadar-kai a pet project (be polite about it), I'm not aware of it. We picked them for the [I]Dungeon [/I]article just to showcase another creature that made a transition into 4e, but that could also be used in 3e games, in the RvR column. We picked them in a group meeting. :uhoh: And for the win, [URL=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terror_bird]terror bird.[/URL] I blame the academics, really. I mean, come on. But if it's good enough for Robert E. Howard, isn't it good enough for D&D? I think so. I mean, look at my sig. Now, I might be the only one in R&D who likes grunge . . . and Queensryche (not grunge, if you ask me) . . . and a little Hendrix (also not). Or maybe it's just Queensryche.
