The Player's Guide to Oathbound, found on Dragonwing's website somewhere, is the free update for the core to 3.5 and some significant changes to prestige races (which I like more than the second version). Also, there is going to be a Pathfinder reboot from Epidemic Books this summer. A&H has a...

There are several- the flamethrowing bugs, the soul eating caterpillar/squid, the illithid wantabe and slaves, the cyborg, the ooze that throws spikes, the fish that jumps out of the water (think about where it lives), the hyperintelligent undead and the lava lake predator from the top of my...

Some that have yet to be mentioned The Wanderer Guild line from Goodman and 3 AM- Monsters of the Endless Dark, Monsters of the Boundless Blue, Primeval Groves (all GG) and Monsters of the Savage Snow (3 AM). The Template Troves trio from Silverthorne. Beast Builder (no monsters, just advice)...

Primetime Adventures and vs Monsters are card based games with easy rules. vsM has a setting that is sureal in the manner of the Prisoner though it could be easy to adapt to other genres. PA doesn't have a setting. It emulates television shows so the GM and players (director and cast) have more...

You want real world examples to base creatures on or just fantasy examples? For the latter, here are a few hundred Mutant Furture creatures that can be easily adapted to D&D: My mutant Future critters - RPGnet Forums And I do like the acid producing trees. Plants are such good chemical...

Is there going to be any more material on Wildwood or Arena? The reason I mentioned Legacies 2 is that I thought it was finished or close to finished when Bastion folded. The article on dragon lairs sounded so interesting.

Is there any 3rd party supplements for 3.X along these lines? Looking at my creature book collection (print and pdf) I couldn't find anything remotely using mythology as the basis of creature design. Even Betabunny's books were more science than fantasy.

That works. I thought of a few more- toxyderms from Urban Arcana, a dragon from FFG's book on dragons*, the burl thing** from the 1e MM II and, for the sci-fi fans, the shell wasp from Machines and Mutants (for the 6th edition of Gamma World). *It forms where the is high pressure and heat deep...

But those require an existing critter. When it rains ever summer solstice and the resulting mud is a massive swarm of mudmen that says something about the setting. Or blizzards generate ice trolls and winter wolves. When the snow storm ends, they fade away. Having spontaneously generated...

I wouldn't apply a motivation to the entire population of a plane or the plane itself. Some want to eat and find humans tastey and some want to explore (too bad their existance is harmful to prime material plane inhabitants) and some just got lost and are looking for a way home.

I agree with some settings. I was thinking about this last night and one very common idea from the past that could be used for monsters is spontaneous generation. AFAIK there are only 2 creatures that spontaneously generate in D&D- mudmen for sure and, possibly, elementals. It depends on how...

Steve released the Player's Guide to Oathbound as a freebie and it can be found on Dragonwing's forum so the fans who looked for it do know what the third version looks like. And I like it not as much as the original but much more than the classes. Interesting. It should be very interesting to...

Since the official thread on Oathbound comes up a blank page*, I guess I will start a new one with a few questions of my own for Greg, Darrin and/or Tom. Will Legacies continue? If not, we will at least see issue 2? Which style of prestige races will there be? Is there any significant changes...

Oathbound because it has so much more potential to tinker with than most others (Ravenloft being the exception). It is so easy to add anything from any source. Morningstar because it has one of the coolest backstories I have ever read and the way that magic warps the land. The Second World...

I wonder how many people who say biology has no place in D&D and yet has humans (and dwarves and whatnot) with internal organs, a need to eat and sleep and other biology related functions. What is the point of a liver in a world where gods created humans?

Any edition of Traveller, Alternity, Star Frontiers, GURPS, Hero. There are a lot of systems out there that are meant for such a setting.

That is a cop out. I don't want to go hunting for the link, but I have a thread at rpg.net about variation in spellcaster created creatures. The main example is the owlbear- there are many bears and owls that can go into making them so why should they be identical? Heck if the different species...

Usually Noble Knight has a copy or two but none currently. You might to check there from time to time. I have HP and it is both incredibly funny and incredibly stupid.

Thanks for the link to the OGL wiki! Another series that I don't see mentioned often is Bits of the Wilderness from Tabletop. They are just descriptions of locations or events to make GMs lives a bit easier. I love the forest, plains and swamps files and found the rest to be useful.
