Prodigy Duck's Beastiary and More (Allabar)

[Libra]

Hmmm. It's a wonder they haven't locked him away then.

Oh wait, if he's that scary. . .

[Servitor_2152]

No, but it really was the point of the original ToH module. Gygaxian game design at its best.

A Gygaxian dungeon is like some sort of twisted game show. Behind door #1: INSTANT DEATH! Behind door #2: a golden crown! And behind door #3: five bags of sugar guarded by THREE GIANT KILLER BEES!

[MDSnowman]

And, speaking of the Demilich, WoTC has posted on their site a series of updated modules. They have updated three of the four S-Series modules for 3.5 D&D: White Plume Mountains, Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth, and the Tomb of Horrors (where the Demilich comes from).

Just thought any folks who might be interested would like to know.

Yeah, but I heard they totally nerfed the Tomb of horrors to make it actually balanced.

Which more or less defeats the point of the tomb of horrors.

Which is to KILL YOUR PC'S SO BAD THE ACTUAL PLAYER CHARACTERS FEEL IT.

If any GM feels that is the objective of the game, I would never play with them.

No, but it really was the point of the original ToH module. Gygaxian game design at its best.

Gygaxian is shorthand for "The GM wants to kill your characters and giggles like a fiend about it when your back is turned."

I played in a 3.5 conversion of Return to the Tomb of Horrors.... it was made more unpleasent by my curious nature.

"Hey what's this do?"

I must agree. The Return to the Tomb of Horrors was utterly ridiculous.

Hmmmm...I'll have to check that out. I've never played it. I promise I will scale it down for my players, though. Except for my Gilwen, who I will kill right off the bat...

I hate TPK adventures. And my early memories of playing 1st edition D&D back when MTV was new seemed to be all about that. It's a wonder I kept RPG-ing.

Love those devas, Prodigyduck.

[prodigyduck]

If you want GOOD 1st Edition adventures, I recommend the Slavers, Giants, and Drow series (plus Queen of the Demonweb Pits). They were, perhaps the best of the lot. The Village of Hommlet was also good (with the following Temple of Elemental Evil being... okay).

Also, the Basic Edition adventure: Keep on the Borderlands.

Were I to run D&D again, these would be the adventures I would use (if I used pre-made adventures; I usually run my own scenarios).

[Michuru81]

I can not begin to tell you how invaluable your builds have been to me of late- especially in the areas of fiends and spells. Thanks for all the effort you've put in here and please- keep 'em coming.

Will do, my friend.

As for monster conversions. I don't have too many left to go (short of any requests folks may have). I still have plenty of spells to convert, though.

I've been considering looking through my old Arduin books for some other beasties... There are some really interesting (and not a few really stupid) monsters in there.

From the pages of Arduin (for those who remember it), comes the Black Lion. It is basically a giant lion that is immune to petrification. Arduin is not really good at giving society or ecology info on its monsters, as they were really just there to slay, not analyze.

[JoshuaDunlow]

Oh yeah, i know Arduin. I miss it too :'( . There have been several attempts to ressurect it in the past. The only world were you can play a halfling slaver. lol

Actually, there is a company that is currently writing Arduin books. One of their books, which describes the world of Arduin, is over 800 pages long (that's bigger than many dictionaries).

I have not personally seen any of their products, being as poor as I am. But you can read about them here. I'm sticking with M&M, though...

Chaeronyx appear as a horrific crossing between centaur and gorgon. Their humanoid section is usually pale slate-gray. Their equine body is most often coal black to dark, gun metal gray, and their hooves are always blood red. Their eyes are an overall luminous, glowing green with no discernable pupils and their serpentine hair is a mass of writhing emerald-green snakes.

These horrid creatures are man-eaters, thoroughly evil, and capable of any vileness imaginable. They are a rare breed and are normally only encountered in the frozen wastes of the north, as cold can never affect them.
Male chaeronyx are able to channel a negative energy through their bodies. This energy is sent through his spear or sword, causing it to become wreathed in translucent black flames.
Chaeronyx will only be found in mated pairs. They only give birth to one single offspring per mating.
