I don't get it.. it's not like Monte Cook owes anybody any new materials. We didn't make him. He made him. He wrote quality material that got a following. The following got to enjoy the quality...

Hrm, I guess we're certainly looking for different things then, but that's alright. The group I game with nearly never uses printed adventures. When we do, it's usually so twisted and convoluted that...

Because of it's high price tag, and it's rather unique nature, I don't feel odd at all for not counting Ptlous. It's in essence a campaign setting.It'd be like not using Forgotten Realms or Eberron in...
