Recently posted a new article on my blog, about the basics of how I approach monster design when I write adventures, specifically using one of the monsters I wrote for the Monster Codex as a case study.

Let me know if you find my ramblings useful or useless, and if you have any other comments or questions you can post them here, or comment on the blog, or on Facebook, or via message stone, or through the magic circle in the Ordo chapter in Agrella.
