Re: What do you want the Next Palladium fantasy rpg,s Books?

I like to see a beastiary. Maybe a history, legends, myths book. LotD3 needs to be finished South Winds and Yin Sloth as well as all things first edition. Palladium is healthy again as a company and it's time.

Side question: What's MoM? Mountains of Mordore?
