    "What do you get when you cross the Tarrasque with a flumph?? "

    I'm going to make this a running thread. Next creation will be up soon. This time I'm crossing a Treant with a Mind Flayer and adding the Flesh Plant template. Nice and icky. :]

    "What do you get when you cross the Tarrasque with a flumph?? "

    Somewhat. It has a matrix to figure out the creature type. Mental abilities are averaged. Physical abilities are averaged after adjusting size. There's a LOT more detail than that....dealing with adjusting HD, saves, special attacks, special qualities, skills, feats....etcetera. It's...

    "What do you get when you cross the Tarrasque with a flumph?? "

    Sorry, no punch line. ;) Instead, I will answer that question and others in a thread inspired by Blackdirge and BOZ, among others. I recently purchased Green Ronin's Advanced Bestiary and I love it. The very first template in the book, the Amalgam Creature, gave me the idea. Simply put...

    I don't want to break any laws.....

    ok, that's what I thought. Basically, I'll just be applying the templates, not retyping them....so it should all be good

    I don't want to break any laws.....

    I have an idea for a homebrew thread that utilizes templates from various companies' monster books, but I don't know what I'm allowed to post....whether or not any of it would be proprietary, etc..... I don't want to step on anyone's toes. Specifically, I'd like to use the Amalgam template...

    [Jan05] What are you reading?

    I just finished rereading Jumper by Steven Gould and the sequel Reflex. Great scifi with a simple concept . Over the Christmas break, I decided to read some fluff. I have nearly the entire Deathlands series and Outlanders series written under the peudonym James Axler. Deathlands can be very...

    Military Sci-Fi books and authors.

    Thanks. I'll look out for them as well. The Eisenhorn Omnibus was a great bargain....only $9.95 for a 750+ page trade paperback monstrosity.

    There be dragons here!

    I'm pretty sure it's based on this book: Dragonology. I bought it for my nephews for Christmas and they loved it.

    My Guilty Pleasure: DEATHLANDS/OUTLANDERS series by James Axler

    It was based on the 5th or 6th book, and it wasn't too bad, but it was set up as a stand-alone story without all the cool mutants and the main plot thread of the Totality Concept, or the plot hook of the mat/trans chambers (think primitive transporters from Star Trek to locations all over the...

    My Guilty Pleasure: DEATHLANDS/OUTLANDERS series by James Axler

    I realize they're not going to win any Pulitzers, but I have nearly every book in each series, and am working my way through them. To me, they're escapist post-apocalyptic fun. There are over 60 books in the DEATHLANDS series, and over 30 in the spinoff OUTLANDERS series. Does anyone else...

    Military Sci-Fi books and authors.

    I just picked up the Warhammer 40K omnibus EISENHORN TRILOGY by Dan Abnett. It brings together his books XENOS, MALLEUS & HERETICUS. I have yet to crack it yet, but it looks pretty good. Has anyone read those books? I've always been reluctant to delve into the 40K universe, because a) I...

    Strange Seas (need help designing strange waters)

    I would have the floor of the Sea filled with volcanic vents that are actually dimensional tears that break through to the nexus between the Elemental Planes of Fire and Earth and the Negative Material Plane. Imagine the creatures that would spawn :)

    Do you still buy metal minis?

    I'm as lazy as they come. My 1/2 orc barbarian/druid is represented by the free Hulk Heroclix that I got at the local comic shop when the movie came out :heh:

    Rot Grubs I had a Paladin with an INT of 5. That's how he died. :(
