d20pfsrd.com looking for help converting monsters!

[jreyst]

We'd like to get a ton of monsters from Necromancer Games Tome of Horrors 1 converted to Pathfinder rules and while we could do it ourselves (and will be) it would sure help if we could get some new recruits to get in there with us and get all dirty taking them bad-boys apart and making them better, faster, stronger! using Pathfinder rules.

If anyone has conversion experience or just in general would like to get involved with the d20pfsrd.com project, just shoot me an email at jreyst@gmail.com (or post a message on the d20pfsrd.com messageboards).

A noble goal! If I weren't so busy converting older edition monsters to 3.X, I'd help. In any case, you might also want to ask in the Creature Catalog General Monster Talk forum (scroll down the forum list; it's just under Off Topic), as there are a lot of monster junkies there.

Hey, Just wanted to say that I love the work you do, and I like your Idea of converting monsters to the Pathfinder System.

Can't offer to help at the moment due to work on other projects, including converting a bunch of the Pathfinder monsters into playable format. However, Hopefully you find some people to help with the d20 pfsrd project.

Also. I really like your GM Screen.

Say, I've just starting running some of the early modules (Hollow's Last Hope, Crown of the Kobold King, etc), and I've been converting everything I've run into that's not already covered (like the Tatzlwyrm, the Forge Spurned, various NPCs, so on and so forth). Most of these I've converted from the ground up. Is this something the d20pfsrd.com project would be interested in?

I've also been putting together a Bonus PF Screen (4 pages of info not on the PF GM screen that I felt was needed) and a series of 3x5 notecard-sized monster stat blocks. I would like very much for anything that I spend time on to benefit other GMs!

 

[jreyst]

We could very much use your conversions and other items. I'd love to see them. If you like I can add you into the system. All I need is a Google ID to add you in. That goes for anyone else too... we can always use more help!

If you participate, you become part of an effort to improve Pathfinder with great monsters like this nibbling terror:

It's quiet. Too quiet. And then it isn't. The rapid rustlings of many tiny creatures can be heard from every direction. The chittering begins. Squirrels, their blood-red eyes glinting in the moonlight, bound toward you. You get the feeling you maybe should be scared, but come on. They're squirrels. How dangerous could they be?

Carnivorous flying squirrels is something of a misnomer. They don't actually fly, but their prodigious leaps make it seems as if they can. These little beasts are meat-eaters, and they hunt in packs that attack with wolfish cunning. Small forest dwelling creatures of sufficient intelligence sometimes train carnivorous flying squirrels as pets, guards, and hunting beasts. There is a subterranean species of this creature. It is pale, hairless, and blind. Add the Advanced Creature simple template and blindsight (15 ft.). Remove low-light vision. Increase CR and XP to 1/3 and 135, respectively.

I was giving a 3.5 conversion of a faerun 2.x monster. is it ok to post the conversion to pathfinder?

 

[jreyst]

You can certainly post it but unless it is open content it can not be included on d20pfsrd.com. I'd still love to see what you've done though

It isn't too fancy. I am at a coffee shop computer right now and cannot hog the compouter tim, so I will post it when I get home.

Just for the record, I got the creature from a dm on the PBP threads here on EN world. What acknowledgements are needed to be placed on my post?

Addendum:
I just PMed Arandus, my source of the original 3.5 creature, FYI for any thing i need to know that he knows of. I do not want to be the cause of any copyright infingements here.

 

[jreyst]

Whatever acknowledgments you'd like to provide. There's nothing specific other than giving credit to where you got something from. As I said though, that only applies to posting things here on EnWorld. I can't post anything on d20pfsrd.com that isn't Open Content (google it if you are not familiar with the term).
