...Any thoughts on this one, at all?

Particularly that cover I drew?

I guess there are no words on the scroll cause the arcanist just finished reading it. :twisted: :P :wink:

Or the damsel in distress is actually one of the cultists that swung over the demon gate to lure the hero into trying to save her, but ending up falling into the demon gate because he misjudged things since she was not hanging over the demon gate.

I guess I'm making up stories that could go with the artwork. :angel:
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.
Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.
Reading and writing (literacy) is how people on BBS interact.

Ohhh, or maybe its because you can't photograph scrolls and we are seeing a photo not a painting. Yeah, that's the ticket...
Although I like your idea that he used the scroll to summon Mr. Monster (remember, always be polite to anything bigger than you and that is probably older than your civilization...)

Oh yeah, that's half the fun of these things isn't it :lol:
The rules are not a bludgeon with which to hammer a character into a game. They are a guide to how a group of friends can get together to weave a collective story that entertains everyone involved. We forget that at our peril.

I got my copy today.
My opinion is... mixed, as usual.
As usual some of it will see use in my games, and some of it will never come anywhere near my gaming table.
The most interesting thing for me was that the Mummy Immortauls finally gets a spell. I'm not sure I'm 100% behind the implementation, but it exists now which plugs a major gap in the magic system that has existed for decades.

Ordered mine with Secrets of the Atlanteans, Nightbane: Dark Designs & a 'Gamer' t-shirt via the 2017 X-Mas Grab-Bag. :D

EDIT (12/15/17): Just got my Grabbag goodies in the mail. Rifter #78, Secrets of the Atlanteans, Nightbane: Dark Designs & a 'Gamer' t-shirt, plus 4 bookmarks & the Roger Zeleznik artbook as a bonus. :D
