[QUOTE="Genghis Don, post: 9693586, member: 7037942"] always enjoyed "ecology of" articles the marvel FASERIP stuff was damned handy for those playing back at the time, the base game needed the support with characters & organizations/stuff. And they put in an effort, such that they really ought have had a dragon magazine add in the box sets. The best is the creature catalogue 2, of course Ed has some decent ones, of course, like [I]The bhaergala, or gunniwolf[/I], but he is not superior to others in monster creation, he is superior is spotting good stuff in others & using them, and in making sure stuff gets reprinted in later works. Which is good in it's own way. Stephen Inniss's [I]Lillend[/I] was added to the game ever after, but the [I]Rummele[/I] & especially the [I]Viltch[/I] are just as good, the[I] Viltch[/I] is in fact far more useful/better. WONDERFUL monster! I used the [I]great wyrm[/I] many times, and converted it into other editions too (though dragon power ups limit use in d20). Roger Moore also produces a fun pair of fey, hedgehog-man & goat man: [I]Hurgeon & Urisk[/I]. There is also lesser entries, and those from likely younger members, the Giant Beta is surely due the popularity of the little bowl fish as pets from the time (into the 90's)...but it's still a good entry IMHO, natural critters are lacking or lackluster in current D&D. [ATTACH type="full" size="1524x1976"]409972[/ATTACH] you put my little cousin in tiny bowls...now I bite the bling fingers off your characters!
