Creature Collection III Open Call

[Nightfall]

I do think we need some more neutral outsiders. If only to give other cities a chance.

Hi SSS_Druid!

That's the great thing about doing things this way - you can just send me as bloody many proposals as you want,

Be careful what you wish for!

I'm at 38 and rising.

Damn! I'm only at 10! Krusty man. You put me to shame.

How about neutral evil outsiders ( or at least usually)

Its my Reavers idea I orriginally wrote up to go along with the DAEMONFORGE stuff but I do not think it will end up being used (Due to my own personal feelings about that setting) They are a pretty hefty monster (CR 20+) the way I wrote them but hey.

Send me more "Blood [blah]s" and I will kill you with a used toothpick inserted into an orange and catapulted from leagues away.

Seriously, though, yes, we are likely to be using the same type of naming conventions.

So what explicitly are those naming conventions?

Hi there!

So what explicitly are those naming conventions?

They prefer visceral/obvious names.

ie. Instead of Fomorian Giant (which they wouldn't like) you could have Mutant Giant.

ie. Instead of Illithid (which they wouldn't like) you would have Mind Flayer.

Essentially; sum up the creature through its name, if at all possible.

I'm not too keen on variant races, but if there is a genuinely setting-appropriate reason for including them, I may want to see more on them.

I would kill three industry professionals of your choice to see neutral, animistic, matriarchal hyena-colored gnolls receive the blessed sanction of hardcover instead of dopey demon-worshipping patriarchal green-skinned fur-tards.

Okay, maybe "kill" is a bit strong. But damn, I love gnolls — just not the way anybody else does them.

(Except Reaper Miniatures. Their gnolls work just fine.

 

[Nightfall]

Actually Ethan, I was kind of hoping to do for the gnolls what Chardun did for the dwarves and Calastians. Course I'd make them bloodlusting, plague carrying, drink the blood of their enemies Vangalites. But that's just me.

And here I was ready to create a thread for it...

Anyway, I'm in! (I need the money. ) Btw Krusty mate, I'm sure most if not all of your 25 submissions will get it. After all, thanks to you, we now have Crown Nagas, Slacerian Dragons and a couple others whose name elude me at present.

My players hate those poison arrow snake fellas

Am I wrong in saying that most good ideas can be of any CR?

In going ot hrough the MM2 I was struck by how many of those powerful monsters could easily have been half the CR. (A few obviously, like the entire animated graveyard, aren't going to be CR9 no matter what you do do).

I like the idea of the monster ideas coming before stats.... but then I'm more of a CC/Monsternomicon DM and less of a CCII/MM/MM2 DM.

In that vein is there still interest in monsters like the Albadian (sp? at work, no books to check spelling) battle dog, Moon Cat or the Sandmaskers? I.e. monsters that have a stronger back story but can't just be squished into a dungeon?
(I realize you just asked for angelic-actuaries, but I figured I'd check).

Re: Theocracies. Are these the theocracies of primarily the the gods already published (i.e. the 8) or are there new gods here?

Is there pantheonistic action going on? Like with gods of similar alignments ruling cities in tandem or more like contient full of Mithrils and Hedrads?
