In any case, > I don't think anything more came out of it. > > But I think having such a list would be useful... yeah such a list would be useful but I think that was the problem that we came up against when we were looking at this last time, things like bhuts which essentially aren't the 3E conversions of the Mystaran monster. They're a monster created from the same real world mythological source but handled totally differently. How would we handle such a monster in that sort of list. And then take the neh-thalggu, chances are it is a conversion of the Mystaran monster (I say that without having an exhaustive knowledge of all mythologies and not having done a particular search for this creature, and yet it is a totally different power level than our humble neh-thalggu's so it's not what you'd call a straight conversion. I think we'd have to think about to handle things like this, and other things that would undoubtedly crop up before seriously handling such a list. shawn stanley what have you done for me lately ... more to the point what have i done for me - mightyfew, "i can't wait" ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 28 May 2005 09:55:50 -0400 From: shawn stanley Subject: Re: Mystara Product list ( was: Blackmoor Products for Mystara Product list ) At 07:57 PM 26/05/2005, you wrote: > On 5/25/05, Havard Faanes wrote: > > --- Dave Keyser wrote: > > > > > I am confident you guys have listed everything, > > > except for the > > > Blackmoor tournament adventures that are being > > > released, but I can > > > include those too. > > > > Cool :) > > I just thought of one more thing, there was mention that > a d'Ambreville appeared in Freeport.
