And now... I am writing an article on cannibalism.
Eats brains here! Ugh!
That is not dead which can eternal lie,
And with strange aeons even death may die.
[spoiler=Cthulhu]"To obtain a deep, restful, and fulfilling sleep, you must first submerge yourself in your cyclopean city of hideous non-Euclidean geometries beneath the sea, and then let your body die. But don't worry! As long as you continue to emanate enough evil thought-energy to influence and control your many worshippers throughout the untold eons, they will resurrect you when the time comes. I guarantee it!" [/spoiler]
[spoiler=Wash]
Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive."

(as Stegosaurus) "We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land'."

(as T-Rex) "I think we should call it...your grave!"

(Stegosaurus) "Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!"

(T-Rex) "Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh...now die!"
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Stanza 11]
No! penury, inertness and grimace,
In some strange sort, were the land's portion. "See
Or shut your eyes," said Nature peevishly,
"It nothing skills: I cannot help my case:
'Tis the Last Judgment's fire must cure this place,
Calcine its clods and set my prisoners free."

If you want other cover art, I am willing and ready.

Eldo, I think that's nice cover, unles someone comes along with a nicer one, I say we go with it :)

WitchHunt, reviews would be a great idea.  Do you have Tome of Battle or MM4 yet? Those are 2 reviews I would particularly be interested in, and I'm sure there are plenty others.

For finite types, like human beings, getting the mind around the concept of infinity is tough going.  Apparently, the same is true for cows.

I have some alternate classes... I have loads on my computer, but I gave up posting them due to lack of feedback :P

My in-development magic system could do with an airing, too... ;)

I'm working on a review of ToB, but I think two people's reviews would be useful.  How good are you with crunch WitchHunt?  Because I'm not much good at it.

Cymro, I'm willing to see anything you come up with, so feel free to post it. It's not like my pride is on the line or anything, that cover's really just our last resort. ;)

If both WitchHunt and Natural 20 could do reviews for Tome of Battle, that would be awesome. I think it would be best to have those by Tuesday.

Ishmayl, you spoke of a small article when you get back, but I think we can push ahead and get more work done in the time you're gone. My proposal, then, is to include the article in the next Guide and try to get some hard deadlines by the end of the week.

Yay for ElDo!  He gets things done! ;)

EDIT: I'm just wondering, since I've been rebuilding the society of races, would you like an article on any particular race for the next newsletter?

Hey Golem101, post those alternate classes up (even if they aren't done) in the Meta forum (like we discussed). I have a look at them and we can put in some submissions.

*nods*

They're in 'Campaign Elements and Design' at the moment in downloadable word documents, I'm working on turning them into CBG format.

I probably shouldn't have said new products, because I haven't purchased any of the newest ones (though I likely will soon). I can, however, provide reviews on a "how does this material benefit your campaign and how does it not" basis instead of a "totally RAD because it has THIS and THIS!" basis. :)

I seem to be alright with bashing and/or blessing crunch, but ToB is not in my possession at the moment :(
