Hi all, Just some first thoughts of HotW. I've not read much of it yet, but anyway: 1) It's a whopper at 515 paragraphs. 2) The artwork by Martin McKenna is...
... Oh yes, why? Anyway, I'm surprised someone actually took the time to read all that fluff. And since I know you enjoy it, I'm going to post a revised...

... What, you're suggesting they've killed and buried me? Actually Mr. Pal's Howl of the Werewolf summary makes it sound surprisingly okay. Yes, the sordid...

I've only had a chance to play it once myself but it impressed me so far. Nice writing, a bit of variety and no screamingly hard enemies as of yet. But is it...

Well that answers my question about the Sorcery 4 conversion. A shame as I was hoping to run a party through it using Dragon Warrior rules. Does anyone know...
Some of those maps from the d20 conversions have a Dave Holt-ish look about them. Is he credited with a connection anywhere? Pal. ... Titan now ... of Firetop ...
... AFAIK no. Martin McKenna is credited with the maps for all the ones I've seen. Perhaps Kieran can comment on whether there is a DH connection on the...

Hi Simon, It's been a while since I posted here... so busy atm. I've just had a look at the atlas, and the job you and Paltogue have done is absolutely...
