Cross-posted (somewhat) from over in the General Forum.

Several monsters, most of which haven't been printed anywhere else, were published in comic books from Kenzer Co. For the sake of completeness, here's a list of them all, that I could find. Note that since these are published by Kenzer, these are D&D, and not OGC.


Dungeons & Dragons: Tempest’s Gate

#1 - “Ogh.” Inside the back cover is a full-page write-up on a new orc subrace, the ogh.


Knights of the Dinner Table

#72 - “Dungeon of the Month: The Garden of Unearthly Delights.” This short dungeon is given dual stats in both 3E and Hackmaster formats, and has a new template at the end, the Guardian Skeleton.

#79 - “Movies on the Battlemat.” The end of this article gives us full 3E stats for a new monster, the Fire Mare, a new minor artifact: The Glaive, and a new magic weapon property: cutting. All are inspired from the movie Krull.

#80 - “Dangerous Denizens.” This article gives a sneak preview for two monsters from Dangerous Denizens: The Monsters of Tellene: the Eaten One and Sturm-Wolf.

#80 - “Movies on the Battlemat.” The end of the articles gives us full 3E stats for the Invader, a monster based on the aliens from the movie Signs.

#83 - “Movies on the Battlemat.” The end of the article has the False Legend template (inspired by The 13th Warrior).

#84 - “Movies on the Battlemat.” The end of the article has the Programmed Assassin template (inspired by The Bourne Identity). d20 Modern.

#89 - “Rustlers of the Night.” This article features an evil Outsider called a Shadow Stalker. Despite the time of publication, it is 3E, not 3.5E. Also, the ability descriptors (Ex, Su, Sp) aren’t listed for the creature’s abilities.

#90 - “Rustlers of the Night.” This article features a new Outsider called the Vodyanoi. Despite the time of publication, it is 3E, not 3.5E. Also, the ability descriptors (Ex, Su, Sp) aren’t listed for the creature’s abilities. Furthermore, no alignment is listed.

#110 – “Rustlers of the Night.” This article presents a new monster: the Sunderer.

#111 – “Porting Hackmaster’s Pixie Faeries into D&D 3.5.” This article gives full PHB-style fluff information and PC racial information for pixie faeries.

#124 – “Demon Princes of Tellene.” This article details eight demon princes of the Kingdoms of Kalamar setting, including their lair, servants/enemies/goals, and clerical domains.

I'll add it. I gotta run now, but will try to do it later tonight.

If I forget, feel free to remind me. :)

*reminder bump*

List-maker, list-maker
Make me a list
I know that you can
You're the quickest
List-maker, list-maker
What must I do
To get a notation from you?

List-maker, list-maker
Please heed my call
I've indexed monsters
Indexed them all
Out of these murky EN boards appear
And archive my list for here

Some other lists are so dreary
So spartan and they never update
This bumping is terribly weary
This is my last post and then it's too late

As for other forums they don't pass the test
I know it's here that my chances are best
Everyone else is a player-hater
So it's up to you list-maker

:D

Sorry it took so long. I was away from the 'net for a couple days. It's linked up now.

Good stuff, BTW. That's one source I wouldn't have thought of.

Speaking of obscure sources of monsters, Alzrius, do you remember the D&D Candy from back in the day? It had collector's cards on the back of the box, and some monsters and NPCs were statted out. I asked about this awhile back, but no one remembered much about it. How about you?

Sorry, but I've never even heard of this. I started D&D back at the end of 1993, so I don't know if I came in too late, or just never heard of it, but I never knew that there was a D&D candy until you mentioned it.

That said, I do recall AD&D trading cards, since I had a lot of them. I recall them having lots of abbreviated stats for monsters, magic items, and NPCs, a lot of which were statted nowhere else. I can't remember where I got them from, nor can I seem to find them now (which is annoying, since I know I still have them somewhere), but I definately recall them.

Shade, do you have a pic of what the cards looked like? I'm still not certain they aren't the AD&D trading cards I remember.
