First, Beyond Monks has shipped to distributors. It should be in stores next week. This is an awesome martial arts sourcebook with huge potential for any monk or martial artist player, as well as GMs crafting martial arts campaigns. Second, the Complete Guide to Beholders is shipping to distributors and should be in stores in two weeks. This book unfortunately missed Gen Con, but we did have it at GameFest. It is packed to the gills with startling revelations on everyone's favorite monster. Finally, an update on other projects.

Believe me, it's worth the wait. The book is beautiful, and it's a fascinating setting.

To make the wait a little easier, we've posted a few new sample images... 7/8/03 - Want to see why Monsters of the Endless Dark got 2 ENnie nominations?
