[Goodman Games] Monster List for Blackdirge's Dungeon Denizens

Hi all, here's a preliminary monster list for the upcoming Blackdirge's Dungeon Denizens. At this point, the list is pretty solid, however, it could change a bit by the time the book comes out.

I'll also answer what questions I can in this thread.

Hey, looks like an old monster of mine made the cut. I may have to pick this up and I don't even play 4e!

The given question to start with is - any monster illustration previews you care to share? Or a larger sized front cover illustration to drool over?

I second the drool cover, that being a cover to drool over and not a cover of drool...



...though given the subject matter, both may be appropriate.

I am just waiting to get home tonight to download Blackdirge's 3.5 stuff from RPGNow before the sale ends.

Are these creatures from the Blackdyrge's Beastiaries?

Nothing yet. However, I'll try to post previews once I have some of the new art.

Quite a bit. I brought back the italicized text describing each monster.

Nope, a lot of the monsters appeared in one form or another in a Goodman Games product, primarily the DCC line. However, there are quite a few new monsters, or significant expansions on the old ones.

Might have missed this, Blackdirge, but are these critters exactly the same ones that were in the 3.5e version of the product?

Some of the monsters are the same, but there are quite a few new ones. In addition, even the old monster entries have been signicantly expanded, so a majority of the book is all new material.

Woohoo, new monsters in a new monster book! Can't wait.

Any chance you could shine some light on the dragonborn atavists, Blackdirge? With so many different versions my curiosity is piqued.

Sure. Here's a short bit of the fluff text for the atavists:

Dragonborn atavists are genetic throwbacks that occur in roughly one out of every 10,000 births in large dragonborn communities. Unlike the typical dragonborn, whose draconic heritage has become mixed and muted over the millennia, dragonborn atavists closely resemble a specific breed of chromatic dragon.

Atavists are universally evil, possessing the wicked nature of the dragon type they resemble, and are shunned by the great clans of dragonborn. However, atavists are incredibly powerful creatures, and are quite capable of surviving on their own. Each displays a number of potent abilities related to the dragon breed to which they are related, and most are more than a match for numerous standard dragonborn.

That's pretty cool! Thanks for the sneak peek.

I can't wait to see how this book turns out. I just noticed that vargouilles are in, and I loved those things! Nothing like a monster that wants to kiss you to freak PCs out.
