This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

So, dragon ages are Wyrmling, Young, Adult, and Ancient

It is kind of odd that they are spread throughout and not in the Dragon section. I guess keeping it all alphabetical is just as easy.

The dragons are indeed all in the dragon section if I'm reading this correctly.  It's just the listing in the index of stat blocks that had the wonkey ordering.

I wish there were more dinos. I'd like some kind of raptor, a hadrosaur, an Apatosaurus or other sauropod, and Stegosaurus, just to get all the stock ones covered. That's the only really glaring omission IMO, though.

I wonder if Devas are the blue reincarnating Istari types from 4e. Those guys were pretty cool.

(It didn't seem worth its own thread.)
Check out Gurbintroll Games for my free RPGs (including Dark Dungeons and FASERIP)!

...and where are the Puddings? Do they fall under Ooze?

I see they have included the Succubus and Incubus. Shall I go warm the engine of the Purple Coloured Outrage Mobile?
I play these games to be entertained... I don't want to see games about rape, sodomy and drug addiction... I can get all that at home.

I guess the books and books of monsters for 2e, 3e, OSR clones and the like will all be quite useable, although with an element of 'use at own caution'..

e.g. lower the AC in 3e, boost the hp in OSR clones, watch for any really high attack bonuses, or just fuck it, kill the players anyway!

Some great stuff here for me;
Many of my favorite monsters are in:
Rakshasa, Revenant, Behir, Death Knight, Yuan-ti, Slaadi, Mind Flayers, Medusa.

And...over 15 pages of demons and devils!

Ogre mage is "oni" now for keeps.

All the elemental genies are present. :)

Winged kobold gets an entry. :confused:

Standard player races don't get monster entries.

Jackalwere is here!?

They are meant to be combined with the NPC templates in the appendix.

Just realized the Succubus/Incubus are not in the Demon or Devil section.

Clearly, a targeted attack on Purple.

Why the confusion?

Except for "Elves: Drow"?
