I wonder if anyone actually read it through.
This material is absolutely amazing, IMHO!!!

Although I don't know if these monsters actually find their way to my RL campaign, I definitely know several campaigns where they can be of formidable use to me.

A shame that Mr Mangrum left the development team!

Reading this, I was particularly amazed by the three Death's Horsemen. They are so precisely crafted! All sentences brings an image.

These are high CR, but still they keep the Ravenloft feel (many high CR Ravenloft monsters linger close to fantasy).

Interesting. Quite liked it, particularly the horsemen. Thing is though, having seen the stats for the Deadlands Horsemen, these guys seem kind of tame by comparision. That's not a bad thing mind you, it just reflects a difference in the settings.

Very well done John. Your adherence to the standardized stat blocks and rules is very refreshing to see. I found it interesting that you also listed Outcast Rating in the stat blocks, and how that rating was determined. A nice addition.

It is good to see the Horsemen finally detailed.

Enjoying it now, though I surely wouldn't mind if someone makes a PDF version of it (can't afford to move past Office 97 yet and later Word files make it crash messily. At least QuickView works)...

As much as I think the four horseman idea has been done to death (pardon the pun) these are very well put together. Good job John.

My I suggest that future word releases use the RTF (rich text file) format for that reason (and the fact that its a lot safer in terms of viruses and stuff)

If you can get it to open at all, Brandi, try saving it using .rtf. Or use wordpad to open the file.

Its good stuff, reading it over now..

What adventure features the horsemen?

Hey that's really cool! Can't wait to read it!

It's good stuff.

One thing I noticed; using QuickView to read the document, I noticed some curious block indents. Were there meant to be illustrations embedded in the document?
