Exemplars of Evil is by far the most interesting of the September D&D books. This is what Mat Smith has to say about it:
"Acererak. Eclavdra. Iggwilv. Rary. Strahd. Warduke. Vecna. Manshoon. Artemis. Bargle. Dragotha. Kitiara. These names and others like them have great meaning to fans of the Dungeons & Dragons game. They are the iconic villains who have helped to shape the worlds in which we play. In many ways, they are just as integral to the D&D experience as the player characters themselves. Can you imagine what Caramon would have been without Raistlin? Would Drizzt have been nearly as compelling without Artemis Entreri as his foil? Could there have been a Strongheart without a Warduke?"
I'm really looking forward to this, not only because of the great names of villains mentioned above, but because the book will contain help for the DM wishing to really role-play villains. Too often the BBEG (big bad evil guy) is just a seemingly soulless obstacle for the PCs to hack'n'slash through. Villains should be played out just as much - no more than any other NPC.
