Coming Soon: Rock & Roar! OSR Monsters inspired by classic rock song titles & band names.

I had a outline for a campaign based on Genesis' album The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. I might need to revisit that idea.

Love all the creativity! At least for my project at the moment I'm trying to stick to literal interpretations of the song title/band name as written... but maybe as we feel particularly inspired or as stretch goals for extras we'll skew into things like Grateful Undead, Jethro Troll, etc. But keep them coming!

Whampire
Average Wight Band
Electric Lich Orchestra

(I know, I know…)

The Sentinel (from Judas Priest)- a unique guardian beast. Possibly clockwork or a golem.

Abra Cadaver (from The Hives)- intelligent corporeal undead guardian type, created with the ability to unleash spells that have been stored within it.

We're getting closer to (a delayed) launch, but the art & writing has been rolling in. Here is a not-final version of "The Twisted Sisters" for Old-School Essentials. More previews for OSE & Shadowdark are on the KS preview page.

You've done a great job, based on the previews, of making these dark and spooky monsters, rather than just going for a quick joke and a goofy monster. Even without the song title names, these all look like very good monsters.

Hey thanks! But now I feel guilty... At dinner tonight I thought up an undead fish creature called "Fish Heads".
