Just curious what I might still be seeing come in. I'm trying to put together a list of everything we have and get back with those who wrote it over the next week so people know what to prepare, but I'd also to be curious to find out what else might be coming in by March 24.

You may or may not get an 800-word pulpy sword and sorcery fiction; it depends if I get it just right

I'm working with a friend on an article about children as PCs, which I imagine I'd also be illustrating.

I have a matched pair of monsters that I just submitted for the Creepies & Crawlies column.  |

All this stuff sounds great. Kesher, this is something that I have thought about too, so I'm interested in what you come up with. I actually had a 'child' character class in one of my games - one mechanical idea was that the class was somewhat weaker to start with but you got big extra benefits when you 'grew up' and took on one of the main classes, to a greater degree depending on how many levels you stuck it out in the child class.

We still need someone to grab Knights & Knaves for issue 5, if anyone wants to show off their cool PCs or NPCs.

I need to send you the new Delvers Delve article for issue 5. It's a collection of house rules and options for dungeon crawling that you'll need to read over.
I think you told me Issue 6 for Lower Caves of TDB? If hard pressed I could finish it for 5 but I'm planning on issue 6.

Issue 6 is fine for Lower Caves. For TDB, issue 5 will have one or both of Warrens of the Trogs (2) and Palace of Eternal Illusion (7), depending on what Zulg and I get done. But I gah-won-tee there will be at least one of these levels.

That's a cool idea. We at the moment, I think, are leaning more towards the child almost as an archetype/race which could (somehow) eventually be translated into an adult character. Think "The Prodigy", "The Prophesied", "The Orphan", "The Scion", "The Student", "The Ghost", "The Ensorcelled" (Adult in a child's body), etc. I feel pretty sure we're gonna keep it to human children, too, and they'll all be focussed around the three main classes. |

And more often than not, they belong in a Monster Manual or Fiend Folio, except when they're innocent and cute. Which on my dice, is about 13% of the time...  |

Children were used in "The Fantasy Trip", Steve Jackson's first RPG.
They were listed under "nuisance monsters".

In Ultima V, if you freed the kids in the dungeon they attacked you.
