Just reviewed the Goodman Games - Critter Cache 5: Daemons on my blogsite this morning. I am seriously becoming a fan of these guys.

I was pretty annoyed when they took Daemons out of play in 4e - it's nice to know I wasn't the only one looking to put them back in play.

Nice... Daemons felt like simple alignement grid filling to me and I'm glad the author didn't simply tack the Daemons in the cosmology with that purpose in mind. It looks like a lot of thought went into their place in the universe and it seems well defined enough. Sounds like a cool purchase.

Yeah, the trick with this one was making the daemons unique enough to be something other than a variant demon or devil, yet still fit into the existing 4E cosmology without much effort on the part of the DM.

Plus, I've been wanting to use Typhon is some capacity for years, and he and the rest of the titans from Greek mythology just seemed like a natural fit for the daemons. I mean, hell, the ancient Greeks were kind enough to go ahead a draw up an almost perfect D&D monster in Typhon, so I thought I might as well use him for something (Typhon is on the right). =]
