The Revenge of the Return of the Son Monte Cook!

Post by virgil »

Monte Cook, post-retirement, has set up a subscription based dungeon module HERE. It's got a rather large preview, but is basically going to be an old-school dungeon crawl using the 3.5 ruleset, and updates with a new encounter each weekday.

I haven't gotten too much deeper into it, nor have I decided whether paying for any of it is worth it.

The title makes me feel like I should perform a series of dramatic pipe organ chords...

TROO DI DOO LA LAAAAAA


There we go.
He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

--The horror of Mario

Will it be standard D&D?

Will it be his own houseruled D&D (experimental might)

Arcana Evolved and Arcana Unearthed?

Will it be pathfinder?

Remember he has his hand in a lot of 3.5 jars.

Ah, yes. I'd imagine 3.5-3.5.

On the site, he mentions that he's using the SRD, so that version. If there're any new feats/powers/monsters, he'd explicitly list them on an entry.

He's actually kind of good about listing new feats/powers/monsters. I can only think of one example where he doesn't, but it's also not required for the game (knowing what it does mechanically has no actual impact), and he's pretty good of telling you where to find it.

In the bane warrens there's a black grail that's used to mind control people. You obtain it right about when the adventure ends, so it doesn't really matter what it does.
