We do have some connections between various releases. For example, we have seen three monsters from the Dreamlands of Faerie already, and we will soon hear about the Heartwood, a demi-dimension that is only reachable in the centre of the oldest and darkest forests.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><b>EGG: Those are cool connections. Will these entries include any bonuses such as related magic items or spells? <\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><b>JACOB<\/b>: We\u2019re looking at various bonus material, especially for our off weeks.
