I really was blown away by all the fun fluff for Pathfinder goblins. I'd love to see a book compiling all the monsters used in Rise of the Runelords -- after it's done, or before, whichever -- with all the fluff, the stats and Wayne's reimagined looks, all in one volume, an alternative Monster Manual, as it were.
Failing that, just a book collecting all the fluff between two covers (including sketches or paintings showing the reimagined looks) would be well-liked.
At this point in D&D's history, I'm ready for a new fresh look at a lot of these monsters, and if the goblins are any indication, your take on things will be one I'll want to incorporate into my regular game.
if u guys do a monster book i am so gonna get it and run with joy thue the store. i just love the goblins u guys sold me on pathfinder with that alone .

Huh, Pathfinder's going to have a bunch of monsters in every volume... and the GameMastery Modules are going to have new monsters. That does seem like it's going to be a lot of creature content flung all over the place. Too bad no one likes huge whopping books of monsters or we might just think about it.. ^_~
Damn, and I was just swapping ideas with Logue...

I'm with Whizbang 110%---Wayne Reynolds' re-imagined goblins captivated me. An existing, classic SRD monster with new life breathed into it is much more exciting and interesting (and useful!) to me as a DM than one more new monster---there are dozens of new beasties from Wizards but very, very few of them have the cache that the classic monsters do. To think of an entire book of Wayne Reynolds' art and reborn classics---I'd buy two, that's how good that idea is.

Everyone is still trying to cope with the shock of the bad news.
But didn't you announce very good news a few days earlier?
Your cooperation with Necromancer Games!
So why not combine your efforts?
After all Monte Cook already praised Tome of Horror I and II to the skies. Additional benefit: The monsters in these books resemble very closely old edition D&D monsters which didn't make it to 3rd edition.
What about making ToH I - III official monster stock of the new setting?
And what about any ToH IV featuring new monsters specifically aimed at the new setting?
Just my few cents,
Günther
P.S.
I just fear that your GameMastery efforts might somehow collide with Necromancers' adventure line...
And when can we start sending in our proposals? I've got one that's sooooo cool, and it has some very interesting folklore attached!
Edit: And yes, the goblin stuff in the blog is cool and refreshing! A new take on a classic monster, sloughing off some of the D&D stereotypes and reinjecting the monster with old folklore that gamers have forgotten. These goblins are ALIVE, not just Generic Small Humanoid Race #2
How many monsters you guys need?
well we dont really need any more but we want more ....love to see the gobline goodness passed on to many monsters.

Preferrably a fixed amount of them.
And additions only when the story line supports them.
I agree that just the OGL monsters could turn stale after a few adventures. For that reason my proposal to define a stack of OGL monster manuals like ToH (which should be more easily usable after the latest deal between Paizo and Necromancer Games).
Greetings,
Günther

Let's just have Wayne Reynolds illustrate EVERY creature. That would be damn cool. Eva Widerman and Lockwood would be awesome too.

I don't think you need to worry. It's in our best interest to make sure we're not competing with ourselves (including our work with partners).
I think you're going to like what you see down the road. :)
