Okay, you got me- I've only been roleplaying for 15 years. But... That's not WOTC fault. That's the fault of the writer for being insufficiently creative.
Look, I'm sorry, but cries of "I >need< WOTC stuff to write my module." are going to fall on deaf ears with me. It's like Tom Clancy crying because Stephen King won't let him steal the "Dark Tower" concept. "But I have to have it." Again, this business is one of creativity and originality. The claim that WOTC won't let the writer use the full Illitihid causes the writer to not be able to write a scary or creepy scene is laughable. If they cannot come up with something scary- not the same scary thing, but a new scary thing- on their own then they are relegated to the status of a Tommy-come after hack, whose so-called talent depends on the crumbs other people throw him. Such an individual wants a paint by numbers kit for module writing: "Here are the instructions and the material...you don't have to think at all." Use your mind, use your heart, develop talent. Be creative. Be imaginative. Come up with something new. People who buy RPG's want this. They will give you money for it. Isn't that better then using a 20-year old monster? "Purple? Tentacles? Yup, a mind flayer...pull out the octopus repellent." --- Faustus von Goethe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >From: Jasyn Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > >Where are the "legal minefields"? > > As an experienced roleplayer - writing a description in a third party D20 > product of a D20 SRD monster when the picture in your head comes from 20 > years of roleplaying those creatures rather than the SRD description.
