I finished reading the Monster Burner that I picked up at Origins today, and got a nice surprise. The Monster Burners are numbered just like the game, and my numbers match! My Revised set is #309 of 1500, and my MB is #309 of 500. Pretty cool, huh?
Luke, the Monster Burner is a hell of a product. I'd buy it just for the in depth mechanics discussion alone (I'm a sucker for that sort of thing), but the extra monster lifepaths and bestiary are awesome. Personally, I'd love to play in an all Great Spider campaign.
Like I told you at the Con, I now have no use for any edition of D&D. Anyway, thanks for the books. I've got some burning to do. . .
thanks so much for the kind words, sir.
much appreciated.
