BtS: Sanctuary released!

Tricky Owlbear Publishing, Inc. is pleased to bring you the 38th issue of the Behind the Spells series: Sanctuary. This series examines those spells from the SRD that are listed time and again on character sheets throughout gaming. These are the spells which, if on your PC's class list, will be taken as soon as possible and include such quintessential favorites as magic missile and fireball.

Each pdf in this series examines the spellcaster who created the spell, one or more of the spell's hidden capabilities, and variant ideas that the spell has inspired throughout history (spells, items, etc.). This release includes two spell secrets and two new magic items: Safebox and Sanctuary Marker!

But Wait...

...there's more! We want to thank those who purchased some of our pdfs during the sale. It's shaping up to be a pretty good month. On deck, Scot's prepping Behind the Spells: Sanctuary. I noticed over the last month that there's been some interest in our Treasure Chests pdf so I'm putting together "Volume II" which brings you 10 new magical and mundane treasure chests. I'm eager to see how that sells...experiments are fun!

Sale!

Peter brings up a good point here. I too think the info in these pdfs is good and well presented but what might give this line some "wow!" power?

BtM: Skeleton released!

Tricky Owlbear Publishing, Inc. is pleased to announce the 6th release in the Behind the Monsters series--the Skeleton! These pdfs follow a format similar to that found in the popular Behind the Spells series so chances are good that, if you enjoy that series, this one will also strike your fancy. Each issue is narrated by Jadrin Nelv, monk of the Order of the Sacred Branch. Jadrin schools novice monks in the ways of the multiverse's creatures and we, the readers, get to listen in. Whether you're a player or a GM, you will find something of use within these pages.

Behind the Monsters: Skeleton includes two adventurer advantages, one new monster variant, and one new alchemical item! This release is available for the normal $2 purchase price at the following venues...

Looks like WotC's quality control for third party publishers comes in the form of cash. Tricky Owlbear, and I suspect many others, won't be ponying up the $5 grand to get a look at something which will eventually be free. This means we'll stay the course through most of '08, presenting fun Behind the Spells/Monsters releases with the same amount of fluff-to-crunch (3.x) ratio. I'm finally penning an idea for an adventure which involves some monsters from Tome of Horrors (creatures which I've always liked but have never had the opportunity to use in my home games).
