And Monte Cook... What can I say about Monte? When 3rd Edition D&D and the d20 system came out, he was one of the three principle designers behind the efforts.  Since then, with his own design studio, Malhavoc Press, he's managed to create several award-winning products such as Monte Cook's Arcana Evolved, Ptolus, and the Books of Eldrich Might. In my opinion, he has one of the most unique voices among the game designers of today.

If you're a GM, a game designer, or a RPG player interested in getting into the design side of how to create your own games you can't find a better introduction than The Kobold Guide to Game Design - Volume III: Tools & Techniques. These 96 pages will provide infinite food for thought and hopefully save you some pain and suffering along the way. I certainly have a lot to think about now...

As a final note, I think that kobold on the inside cover is up to something... don't you?
