SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

A few were in Spelljammer. Just in often very roundabout ways. I recall spotting what was probably a Cybermen homage and a Dalek. If they werent in Spelljammer then they were probably in Dragon.

Reskinning old 2e Gamma World monsters and robots would work too. GW androids or the Legion of Gold make for a viable Cybermen base for example.

Daleks could be done with say the Security bot. Formidible but not invincible. Just tinker the weapons loadouts.

Running a Dr Who themed campaign using Gamma World was discussed over on the GW list while it still existed. Using mutations and tech you could recreate many of the older icnic monsters and aliens.
