Woo-hoo! Heroes of Horror preview!!

[Gold Roger]

The table of content looks great. The archivist was not what I expected from the name (a divine caster) and I thought the Cadaver Golem was a little uninspired/ not the kind of Monster I would use. But the rest looks great. I especially liked the tainted avenger prc from the october previews.

I've been looking forward to this one for a while now, and nothing in the previews to date has dissuaded me from giving it a thorough look-over at my FLGS. And then probably taking it home.

Wow. Awesome. A recent must-have WotC book. They haven't done that for me since the Complete series ended.

My sentiments too, more or less.

I didn't write that particular section

So. . . which ones did you write?

Feel free to ignore. I'm just psyched, for some reason I can't put my finger on.

Hi Mouseferatu,

If this is as good as your very enjoyable article in the latest Dragon on the origins of the undead, I'm buying! I particularly liked seeing the irritating iconics offed so casually in the introductory paragraphs

Cheers

Ditto. Mousie, you're a sick, sick bastard (and I mean that in the best way possible).

Hmmm...

It's been quite some time, so I hope folks will forgive me if I neglect a detail or two. But if memory serves:

A small portion of Chapter One, including "To Grandmother's House".

A small portion of Chapter Two.

The bulk, if not the entirety, of Chapter Three.

Some, if not all, of the "Campaign Rules" section of Chapter Four.

The Dread Witch and Purifier of the Hallowed Doctrine PrCs, and a handful of new feats, spells, and items in Chapter Five.

The Villains in Horror section and section on using monster types; as well as the bane wraith, taint elemental, cadaver golem, gray jester/bleak ones, phantasmal slayer, unholy scion, and--uh, that might have been it, or they may have been one or two more, in Chapter Six.

Why, thank you. That's the nicest thing anyone's said to me in weeks.

 

[The Shaman]

Hrrm. I may actually have to check this one out, just to mine for horror ideas for other games...

...except...

..."a frisson of fear?" Who writes this stuff?!? :\

Worst. Alliterative Phrase. Ever.

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

So, is the Dread Witch the updated Dragon magazine Witch you alluded to?

And I was blown away by the archivist. I think that class is going into all my games, whether overtly horror or no.

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Hmm. On the other side, I’m not sure what else they could do after that.

If they don't do a Heroes of Swashbuckling Adventure book, there will be consequences.

LOVE the Archivist.
