[Elthbert]

Well I hope this thread hasn't died I was really excited about getting some of those conversions.

Walking With Monsters
Thu 8 Dec, 8:30 pm - 9:00 pm 30mins

The first in a three-part series telling the extraordinary story of evolution as it has never been seen before. This week we witness the explosive creation of our earth 4.4 billion years ago. As we witness first life evolving in the oceans, we meet our bizarre earliest ancestors who battle against terrifying three-metre-long sea scorpions and giant carnivorous fish as big as a truck. Their ability to survive will determine the shape of life on our planet and whether we humans will exist at all. But as our huge early amphibian ancestors finally struggle onto land, the monsters they face are more deadly than ever. [AD,S]

As well as a few old series'
Sea Monsters
Prehistoric Mammals
Dino's
and
Cavemen

We've got requests in the queue for the following:

Andrewsarchus
Bear dog
Dinofelis
Gorgosaurus
Anchisaurus
Pentaceratops
Ornitholestes
"Any of the weird ones from Dragon #176 or #204"

I like Gorgosaurus just for its name.

 

[BOZ]

what source was the gorgosaurus coming from?

 

[Shade]

You would ask that! The search begins...

According to the first post in this thread...

First Edition Monster Manual (1977)

 

[BOZ]

no kidding! probably MC3 as well then. maybe a Dragon mag, but probably not if it was in the MM.

Stats please...
And this will probably just end up being a smaller version of T. Rex. There's no suggestion of any unusual abilities for it, unlike the allosaurus, unless some were suggested in the 1e stats.
