The very first Adventure Guide from Goodman Games

This is just something that I was thinking about. There are currently a total of 4 adventure guides being published by Goodman Games (not including the Underdark adventure guide which has not been released yet).

The first adventure guide was ... The Cretasus Adventure Guide.

I'm sure that many people do not think about it when it comes to the Goodman Games Adventure uide series, but this was just something I noticed. Joseph, you sly devil. Laying the seeds for your adventure guide series before formally announcing the line.

Come to think of it, a Broncosaurus Rex book ahs started just about every line that Goodman Games publishes.

Think about it:
Dinosaur Planet: Broncosaurus Rex - now Morningstar and Blackmoor
Cretasus AG - Adventure Guide series
CG to Velociraptor (a DP:BR book in everything but name) - Complete Guide series

Dinosaurs That Never Were was an unofficial release before the Wanderer's Guild Endless Dark manual was officially announced, so technically a Broncosaurus Rex was the first 'planned' monster manual from Gooman Games (even if it was published afterwards)

the only exceptions are Dungeon crawl Classics (which based on the premise probably wouldn't go too well in the DP:BR setting anyway) and the EN World Player's Journal (which I understand will have material from Goodman Games, possibly tying into Broncosaurus Rex).

Just something i was thinking about.

Very keen observation. :wink: If you look in the front of the Cretasus Adventure Guide, you'll see the raptor book listed as "Dino Hunter's Guide to Velociraptors." That was the original title... but I later changed it to lay the foundation for the CG series. "Dino Hunter's Guide to Doppelgangers" certainly wouldn't have made much sense. :wink:
