    The "ceiling monster" was called a cloaker, and came from the 1st edition Fiend Folio.

    That Gazebo killed my entire party :wink:

    Even Persephone? But she doesn't even have any hit points.

    Here's a practical question: who's on the writing team for Adventure Y?

    I think Liam may be a part of writing team too.

    Not all "ceiling monsters" are Cloakers though.
    There's also Green & Olive slimes which are commonly found on ceilings, not to mention Piercers, which are only found on ceilings.
    There's probably several more spread throughout the monster manuals, but I'd have to look them up.

    Chokers, Darkmantles, and many, many more absurd monsters exist to annoy from above. There is one that looks like an executioner's hood, but generally speaking most of these monsters stretch the limits of willing suspension of disbelief.

    Right right, a Wizard Did It. Nothing silly about that, right?

    My favourite example of egregious monster ecology is still the Owlbear. Chimaera I can tolerate even with the goat head, but really, Owlbears make as much sense as the dreaded Guppyshark would, or the Llamaduck. :p

    Not a "ceiling monster" as in "a monster that hangs out in the ceiling". "Ceiling monster" as in "monster that is a ceiling".

    There is a stelactite monster, iirc gets 1 attack then has to climb back up onto the top of the cave. It looks like the ceiling. Really silly monster though.

    That would be the Piercer I mentioned in my previous post.

    As I see it, Andrew Foley and Amber Scott are considered "writers" and they both in one way or another said they've been working on the Adventure Y.

    Nat Jones is a Lead Artist but we have to remember he's not only an artist but also a writer renowned for his work in comic books, video games and film.

    Liam Esler is an Associate Producer but we all know he's a writer.

    I assume that as you're not a huge mega corporation that everyone can pitch in on any part anyway. It's not like you'll turn down a good story idea just because someone doesn't have writer in their job title.

    Argh, I hate waiting. Cans have game soon?

    I don't think that cans will have the expansion any time sooner. Same probably goes for bottles and tetra paks as well.
    Everyone loves jugs though, so those may help.

    Milk bags are probably impractical.

    So the game will be in eggs then?

    Excuse me if this was asked before, but how will experience work with Adventure Y?

    BG1 caps at 161k experience. Most people who do a full playthrough of BG1 and TotSC hit the xp cap. Will adventure Y push the xp cap up higher?

    I'm just wondering how there can be real character progression for the saga without making BG2 too easy.

    expects a lot of easter eggs related to this particular thread: gazebos, gnecromancing gnomes, anime sarevoks, and stackable cats
