From Introduction: From Allathandrac’s Wight to the Vile Zombie, the Dreaming Merchant Graphic Cyclopedia is an eclectic collection of creatures, spells, potions, magic items, arcane weapons, characters and scenarios to assist, inspire, and enhance the creation of memorable d20 campaigns. Within these pages are choice creations carefully harvested from over 40 years of campaign design experience. A few of the entries in the Cyclopedia are carefully crafted variations on the time-honored figures of the fantasy genre. However, most are cut from whole cloth. Unlike some d20 campaign aids, there is not a single item in this collection that is a simple copy of some nearly forgotten creature from the early days of role playing. We strove, throughout the Cyclopedia, to choose invention over cliche, and vivid illustration over quick, approximated sketches.
