Can you confirm that list was accurate?2. Do you know what CZ8 was to be?
FormCritic wrote:The titles listed above were for expansions of the City of Yggsburgh.Yggsburgh was a separate project from Castle Zagyg and the dungeons below them.Somewhere here on the Acaeum is my review of the Yggsburgh publication. I discussed the hardback book project and I believe I might have listed the books that were supposed to follow the first book.
Ghul wrote:The city supplement list is accurate. The other titles (noted below as CZ3 to CZ7) were placeholders and working titles created early on, long before I was part of the project. Because the format changed over from hardback to box set, and because we were working toward the whole of the project being contained in 3 boxes, those titles and those codes were going to change.

What you get is a folio of one-shot freaks like the absorber, mudman, osquip, magic sniffer, lizard king, magmite and their ilk...including the ever-useful flumpf and blindheim.

Martin. It's incredibly good. Well worth your time if you haven't read it.As a fantasy RPG guy, it's kind of strange that I don't really like the fantasy fiction genre.
