Wandering Monsters
When Is a Goblin Not a Goblin? by James Wyatt
In 4th Edition, we included goblins, hobgoblins, and bugbears under a general “goblin” entry, which caused our editors some consternation. You see, by doing things this way, the word “goblin” had to do double duty because it meant both the general class and the specific race—genus and species, as it were. When we did this, though, we were also extending a line of thinking that started back in the earliest years of D&D, when these monsters were grouped together into the broad category of goblinoid.

 The Demonomicon of Iggwilv
Shemeshka the Marauderby Brian R. James and Todd Stewart Shemeshka the Marauder is as much a fixture of the extraplanar metropolis of Sigil as its portals. The “King of the Cross-Trade” is a paragon of her kind, and she is curiously unique. She combines a raavasta’s moral depravity with the golden veneer of a pampered and cultured noble—and she possesses all the arrogant pretension of both.

Book Wyrms
Pride & Prejudice (& Drizzt)by Nina Hess It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a reader in possession of a fantasy novel must be in want of masterful magic, a sequence of fantastic fight scenes, and a kick-ass hero with a cool sword (or two). As we all know, R.A. Salvatore delivers all that in spades. For more than thirty years, his books about the dark elf Drizzt Do’Urden have delighted fantasy fans around the world. But it takes more than magic and mayhem to make a book series that can stand that test of time.
