Nope, not until you mentioned it. Shouldn't prevent of from doing a new one though.

Buddha the DM: Now where would the fun be in that. Not that many dragons to begin with

So? Has that ever stopped any of us before?

No, but it wouldn't be fun. And fun is important, thus we need to choose a creature type with a lot of variation among it, such as animals, magical beasts, or even outsiders...

How wouldn't it be fun?

Personally I like dragons, and would love to see a thread for them similar to this one.

krishnath hates dragons, from everything i've seen.

Boz: Lol!

Buddha the DM: Because there is a severe lack of dragons compared to other creature types, and there is a lot of work that is involved in the true dragons. Trust me on this, it is what I do when I am bored. Aberrations would be a good alternative, there are a lot of different types of those...

I like the idea of and Aberrations thread. I'll like it even more once I get my hands on Lods of Madness. I also think a Dragon or Elemental thread would be kind of interesting.

The only rule, I see is that an Aberration thread must either use a base creature that is an Aberration or use a template or series of templates that turns a base creature into a Aberration. of course, the same goes if we choose something else.

Cheers!

p.s. I've started updating and compiling my old 3.0 creations from this thread and a few others. I've only done a few, so far, but once I get more than, say, 10 to 20 done, I'll post them to the Homebrews forum again in a different thread. I'll also be posting a compiled Word Document, eventually. (I've found that many of my creations need to be reimagined completely, as a lot of changes happened from 3.0 to 3.5, regarding monsters.)

Start the thread and I am *so* there.

I know there is a lack of the Dragon type. I create them when I'm bored too, although the boredom tends to cure itself before I can finish them.

I think the same rule could apply to the Dragon thread.

Ok, we'll go with Aberrations and see how far it goes. I will start a new thread. The thread won't start with a templated critter from me, however, as I'm working on updating a critter from this thread, right now, and I have to go to physiotherapy. (Different pain issue than detailed before on this thread.)

If someone wants to start a Dragon thread too then I'm all for that, as well.

Cheers!
