[QUOTE="BOZ, post: 1293675, member: 1241"] Hello! This is the perfect first place to go if you are unfamiliar with the Creature Catalog and what we do here. The Creature Catalog is the premiere website for monster conversions for the 3rd edition of the Dungeons and Dragons role-playing game. If you don't know how to find the Creature Catalog website, just [url=http://www.enworld.org/cc/index.php]click this link[/url]. A number of things are featured on the site, but the content we are known for is our [url=http://www.enworld.org/cc/converted/index.php]monster conversions[/url]. We have spent the last few years converting monsters from original D&D, as well as first and second edition AD&D to 3rd edition D&D. The original creators of the site, Scott Greene and Erica Balsley (both appear on Enworld from time to time as Graz'zt and DnDChick, respectively) both work for Necromancer Games and were responsible for getting many conversions from the site published in the Tome of Horrors book. Just before the emergence of D&D 3rd Edition Revised (aka "3.5E"), they entrusted the Creature Catalog to me. As I am only one man, and there is a lot of work involved with maintaining a site like this, I opened up the CC to its fans for help. Perhaps the biggest project I foresaw is the [url=http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=58837] Creature Catalog 3.5 Overhaul Project[/url].
