ABOUT THIS SITE:
[Summary and Descriptions]

Welcome to Monte Cook's Website!

This is the place to find cool news and roleplaying material from me, the author of the Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Master's Guide and founder of Malhavoc Press. Here's a tour of the site's main sections:

Who’s this Monte guy? Besides co-designing the new edition of the Dungeons & Dragons game, I’ve written a couple novels, some short stories, and many, many roleplaying game products. Look here for my bio and credits list, as well as links to stuff I've written that's online.

Malhavoc Press is my d20 imprint. Hallmarks of Malhavoc products include unusual magic, monsters, and evocative elements that go beyond traditional fantasy. Buy Malhavoc titles in electronic format at this site or as traditional print publications in stores from our publishing partners at Sword & Sorcery.

Check out "Line of Sight" for my weekly column about gaming, comics, movies, cool toys, conspiracy theory, and other topics of geekly interest.

I've created montecook.com primarily as a place where I could put bits of roleplaying content for the d20 System that you can use in your games. "The Stuff" is the place to find it. I'll update this frequently with spells, feats, magic items, rules, characters, or whatever else I think of, including small, downloadable PDF supplements.

"Another Rave" is where I go on and on about cool stuff I like, such as the power of fans, comedian Eddie Izzard, and more. Updated when the mood strikes me.

What logic is there in putting miles of "dungeons" full of nasty critters and treasure beneath a city? "Ptolus" is my current D&D campaign and shows demonstrates my take on this question. Check out this frequently-updated material from the campaign if you're interested.

As I mentioned earlier, I wrote the new D&D Dungeon Master's Guide. I've put a section on the site called "DMs Only" where you'll find tips, tricks, advice, rules variants, and other stuff for running a D&D game. If you found value in the DMG, you'll want to check out this section frequently. Players: KEEP OUT.

My "Reviews" section is a place where I occasionally post my thoughts on the latest offerings from the roleplaying industry.

Okay -- your turn! Don't neglect to check in with my Message Boards and talk with me -- and each other -- about your favorite gaming topics. Feel free to post whatever you want there (but be civil). I'd love to hear what you have to say about material you've read here. Powered by ezboard.

My Links section contains sites I value and visit frequently on the subject of gaming, including the personal home pages of other Wizards of the Coast game designers.

The "Archive" page lets you access previous content from the site by section.
