Background: They came from beyond the Stars via something akin to Gate Magic, though they lack the ability to travel themselves, and with good reason- they are little more than soldiers sent to secure the vast wealth of gold that it might fuel the chariots of their Universe travelling overlords. The Procurers of Gold will use their their only weapon: a wave of Psi force with a 60' directional range or a radius of 50' affecting 2d6 Hit Dice worth of Opponents in an Attack.
They will always be encountered in proximity to gold (calculate amount of gold present in dungeon and divide by gold quantity present in Treasure Type F to determine population for large numbers of Procurers).

Age of Fossils: Dinosaurs are everywhere

The Dinosaur of Goannas?

I spotted this in a photo. As Dinosaurs go, Its perhaps thirty feet long from snout to tip of tail. The head is at least two metres (6 feet) long.

Not familiar with this dinosaur.

The full 'between two beaches' photo is available for sale over on Airloft along with 'Australia from above' which contains images megladon fossil fragments.

Old School: RPG magazines...

In the Seventies there was nothing cooler than creating your own D&D 'zine. Blogging has pretty much replaced it, but sometimes you need to go back to the old way. If you want on the Mailing list email for the final document PDF email me a page worth of text to Add and I will add it. This is going to be 32 Pages worth.

We will see where it goes.
