Tome of Horrors, if you please

[Frilf]

Sounds like gravy to me. Perhaps a Thanksgiving release?

Cheers!

Black and white only yes...to capture the 1e feel.

100% of monsters will have artwork.

So to keep the 1e feel, are you going to have "blank" pictures of invisible monsters?

 

[Orcus]

Very funny Psion!

No, we will have the invisible ones there, including aerial servants, etc. The layout should be finished by Friday and I will be posting some sample pages shortly thereafter.

Heehee- nope. But that is a damn fine idea doncha think? Much better than the 3e Invisible stalker pic (appears as a wisp of smoke or something). Not very invisible if it looks like smoke.

hopefully "1st ed feel" doesn't translate to "generally crappy artwork".

I love the color stuff on the Creature Catalogue page.

Nope not at all. I believe you guys will really like the artwork.

Tome should go to print end of next week. So it is on track for the November release.

As a side note, I just saw the art for MM2 on the WotC site. Some of it is nice, being color and all. But only about 150 monsters? Lame. Tome has over 400 monsters and is over 300 pages and has a much lower "suck factor" on its monsters than MM2 if I do say so myself. Plus, our "D" chapter is over 60 pages with demons and devils and dragons. You know, the good stuff.

We should have a few sample pages up soon.

Hmm. Judging by the pictures from the MM2, the water weird isn't snake-like anymore...

That's it, Orcus. We're going to have to talk you into doing a second Tome, just to make sure we get all the old critters the way they're supposed to be.

As a matter of fact, I think I have enough "spare" monsters lying around to almost fill a second Tome.
