Monster Manual Mash
51 - Gargoyle

Fast-food clown generators, selective cruelty, and the most elemental Elemental.


Featuring an interview with Jeff LaSala, writer of The Ecology of the Gargoyle for Dragon magazine #423.


Jeff LaSala lived in Germany for only one year, long ago, and really needs to go back if only to see some more castles and pick up an untranslated copy of Die unendliche Geschichte. He is responsible for The Silmarillion Primer, the more recent and much shorter Second Age Primer, the Deep Delvings series, and a few other assorted articles on this site. Tolkien nerdom aside, Jeff wrote a Scribe Award–nominated D&D novel, produced some cyberpunk stories, and works in production for Macmillan and the Tor Publishing Group. He is sometimes on Twitter.

43 – MONK


BEHOLD! The MONK!

Under the guise of picking apart the Monk class, we interview James Kerr (Radio James Games) about FIGHT TO SURVIVE, crowdfunding now no Kickstarter.

How do you find time to train while ransacking a goblin cave? What is the Monk's role in a party or adventure, and do the mechanics back it up? And how does FIGHT TO SURVIVE put the heart in hand-to-hand combat?
