Very nice. I can see a crazed hermit planting these as a minefield around his home.

A few ogres are born with two heads. These have two more front hexes than a giant and only one rear hex directly behind them, with side hexes flanking the lone rear hex. Each head controls one arm and so two-headed ogres are typically armed with two clubs. Treat this as a single sweeping attack across all of their front hexes (at the usual -4 DX against each target) or each club can attack a separate target at full DX. The two-headed ogre can disbelieve with both heads independently, but don't expect success. Each head is subject to a one-hex Control Person spell (compare with the triple cost Control Person required on a normal ogre), but can't be commanded to attack itself.

What does the two-headed ogre with one head under hostile Control Person do during the Movement Phase?

Hence the need for GMs.

I've solidified the list of beings for the book and my illustrator has sent me some magnificent roughs so far. I'm now working on the adventure portion of the book, which spans an island archipelago. There is an overarching adventure that ties in with all the islands, plus individual events and dungeons on each island the players can explore. I'll be posting the full table of contents on my site once I get that done. I want to have some of my gaming tools ready to go before unveiling the new site design.

The main contents of the book are done, just parts of the adventure left to finish now. Previews and table of contents available from my site here:

Well done! When will you release it into the wild?
