I've been getting to know Monte Cook 's contribution to D&D and other RPGs, both through his kickstarter for Numenara and through various other public appearances and interviews . I'm also digging into some of his older D&D contributions. His genius is reflected in his creations -- for example, a blackguard mindflayer riding a beholder: I have to admit, I am becoming a big fan. Numenara is going to be a really interesting new setting, and the related rule-set so far looks elegantly simple. I am still looking to pickup a copy of Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil, and I am looking forward to the Call of Cthulu d20 manual that I should be getting this week. I'm also trying to find interesting new uses for the sphere of annihilation. And someday... someday... I will get around to Ptolus, City by the Spire. Thank you, Monte Cook.
