Bit and pieces

Thanks to Dan Thornhill, who found me this quote by Mike Donais: "If we were ever to do something so crazy as a double sided stat card we would probably include a second card with the D&D stats." (referring to the double-sided cards rumoured for Underdark). (this thread)

An Anonymous correspondent sent the following information: "The 'bigger than Huge' figure is definitely a dragon (not that that will come as a surprise to anyone). I think that Wizards have mockups for both colossal and gargantuan in process. It's colour will probably be red, but as they are still sculpting, that could change. Unfortunately, they are still early in the process, so there is no way to get anything definitive. Wizards are shooting to release it by the end of the year, if possible."

Thanks to Soularm for pointing towards this thread posted by Citizen Fry: in Dragon Magazine (march 2005 issue), it states: "The Beast Master and Grim Necromancer make new types of warbands possible, as they control dire animals and undead. New rules for warband mechanics are also tweaked to optimize play." (the thread)

Cornugon notes that the official release date for Deathknell is 25th March. (Still so long to wait!)

Hopefully that clears out the backlog of email I'd been too busy to properly process before!
