Converting Non D&D monsters

[Nookie]

I was just thinking to my self that there is allot of monster love her. However, This made me think further and where is all the Non D&D monster love. Why isnt there a dedicated thread to convert old school Star Fronteer Aliens to the d20 medium I know they have touched down on this slightly in the modern books. I just dont think that it is eanough.
Also where is the Gamma World monster love? These old school critters, Such as the Podog or Arn, easily hold as fond a place in my heart as any demon dragon Or flumph. they are just as mean semi iconis and silly as their D&D counterparts yet No one seems to pay them any mind. Why not start a conversion thread for those forgotten creatures? Give them the Rules facelift they deserve.

I've seen some excellent Star Frontiers conversions in the past, and some Gamma World creatures received an update in one of the Dungeon/Polyhedron combo issues.

While branching out into non-D&D monsters isn't a high priority for me at this time, I could see doing that once we near the end of the D&D critters.

And, of course, someone else could definitely lead the charge!

I would totaly be willing to contribute to this thread. Plus we have been converting D&D monsters here for the last what 6-8 years now? How many more do we have to go i wonder?

[freyar]

By this count, there are 938 to go.

If you want to post some stats of monsters here for people to convert, we can always give it a try!

OK lets get the ball rolling.
Lets start compiling a Critter list like other Monster conversion threads do. Seems like a good place to start.
I would appreciate any GW related dragon magazine stuff with Critters in it. Or anything else for that matter. If you list a repeat monster from an earlier edition Don’t worry about it. Comparing multiple versions will let us make a more accurate vanilla conversion.
I think we can Skip the robots for the time being.

That pretty much exhausts my collection of gamma world book expect some star fronteers Lists in the next couple days. I would apriceate anyone else whom might wish to scour their old collection for more Oldschool GW monsters and list them here.
