So I was doing a little "desktop housekeeping" this weekend, and realized I needed to do a bit of an update to the Creature Compendium list. At last count back in August of 2012, I was hovering around 160 monsters. But since then, I've added a lot of new ones to the blog, which in turn get added to the planned book. If my current count is right, I'm at 183 (including alternate types and species). There's only a couple of names on the list that are not written/described yet, but are planned; otherwise, if the name is on the list, the description and stats are complete (though about 5% of those completed listings need illustrations, and another 10% or so need second illustrations or re-draws of illustrations I'm no longer happy with).
Don't worry. I'm not going to let the compendium have too much of my attention for now. I'm dangerously close to releasing The Valley of the Five Fires (I'll have a preview/proofing copy with me this week at the North Texas RPG Con), and then all of my attention is going straight to finishing the d30 Sandbox Companion (which got sidetracked due to requirements for the introduction).
Just a note that a few of the monsters accessed via the links below have been refined (in the book), but those refinements have not been updated to the blog. For example, several of them pre-date the "dual format" stats that I've come to adopt as my standard M.O., though the full dual-stats will be available in the final book. Additionally, some of the stats have been refined, and some of the listings have been expanded. But, in general, most of these posts have everything you need for inclusion at the gaming table.
So, without further ado... the current (though always expanding) list of creatures slated for the Creature Compendium. (BTW, if there are any "non-linked" names that peak your curiosity, let me know and maybe I'll slate those for upcoming Monster of the Week posts.)
BOOKMARK THIS PAGE! As new monsters are posted to the blog, they'll be added/linked here!
The Mind Hunter and Red Ether sound interesting...
ReplyDeleteI've got the mind hunter post queued up for next Tuesday (June 11).
ReplyDeleteSweet! Looking forward to it!
DeleteRichard, I've been doing some freelance pen and ink, old school monster art as of late. If you have any of these beasties that need drawn up, please contact me. My rates and turn-around times are quite competitive. monstermeister (at) live.com
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame that you didn't put ascending AC for games like swords and wizardry and other clones.
