Troll Lord Games

I know the "named" ones like Orcus and Demogorgon are probably off-limites for copyright reasons, but doesn't it seem odd that Monsters & Treasures mirrors the old Monster Manual so much, yet doesn't include demon and devil sections?

An NDA is no problem at all. I'm familiar with those due to being a playtester for Hero Games a couple years back.

I registered just for that reason and it turns out it's for specific users only.
Thanks!
