[QUOTE="Big Mac, post: 5953311, member: 61182"] Going with something small (like Imagine Magazine monsters) would probably be a way to test the concept. Art would be something that would need to be looked into to "do it properly". We might need a bit of fan art for each monster. :eek: Cover art might also be useful, although we might find someone on DeviantArt that would donate something. Does anyone know what that dragon picture is that Shade has as his avatar? It would be nice to have that on the back cover of any hypothetical book. Creature Catalog was really about conversions, but there is no reason why the non-converted monsters could not be put into a "[I]Creature Catalog presents Homebrew monsters[/I]" netbook, so that nothing Shade or others worked on gets wasted. That guess sounds about right. I'd say the Creature Catalog would need about 12 netbooks on that basis. But if you look at the way that many of the monsters come from specific campaign settings, it might make sense to do (some if not all) netbooks on a per-setting basis. [/QUOTE]
