Actually, that statement is true... On topic, I think I'd go for the Batman/ Superman style...

The Kirgid.... Saltor... Embrac... and like that there sort of thing...

I went with "Real world" beasties, since most of my palette is prehistoric leftovers (more "Pleistocene Park " than "Jurassic Park") and stuff you'd find on the various crypto-zoological websites... And dead things... lots of dead things...

BRILLIANT! Haven't laughed so hard in days! Could you finish the poem, or is that left as an exercise for the student? (Ended up here trying to get to a story hour thread...)

Hours and hours of Sid Meier's Pirates!

"Hoopy!" -- Escalla, Descent into the Depths of the Earth

Yes, but they're usually very specific to the campaign/ adventure in question, and usually include a lot of Dawn Ibach's miscellaneous mishaps... Like waking up one morning to find mice in your backpack... Or coming across some monster droppings... Or stepping into poison ivy...

I would check out GURPS Voodoo as well, for a ritual based system that's geared to be fairly subtle; as well, Mike Monaco has done some research on translating aspects of medieval belief into the ruleset (here: http://gurpsnet.sjgames.com/Archive/Magic/Rituals/Mediav.htm and here...

And every story told in a tavern ends with... "...And then I hit him!" (With apologies to legions of SCA Stick-Jocks... 'cause they hit hard and some of them know who I am...)

There are days when I regret I live in Philadelphia... and that I work nights and weekends... :(

Hey, Doug, I know you mentioned this in a post not too long ago, but would you favor us with an update on the status of the Septentrionalis/ New World sourcebook you've been working on? Thanks! :) Bill

Just off the top of my browser: http://www.ncf.carleton.ca/~bz050/HomePage.czlinks.html http://www.strangeark.com/cryptofiles.html http://www.pantheon.org/areas/bestiary/articles.html In one of the old Dragon Magazines, there was an article about using the "AKA" system of naming your...

I'm using a "crypto-zoology/ mythology" route IMC planning (alternate history age of exploration/ pirate theme, if I ever get a chance to run it) For instance, perhaps the Giganthropus in your campaign is the "Barmanu" ("Big Hairy One" reputedly living in the Pakistani wastelands) or the...

He carries an electric charge at all times-- so he sparks when shaking hands, touching doorknobs, &c (like what happens on a cold, dry day when you walk across the carpet...) It's usually only a minor annoyance-- but he occasionally shorts out his computer, and needs to specially insulate...

The short answer would probably be that they DID pick them up from the East-- meaning that the East was suffering from the same sort of thing at the same time... Consider the Black Death-- it is usually traced to a merchant ship docking in Venice (IIRC) in the 1340's, but if you look further...
