Looking for an old, possibly apocryphal book

[khyron1144]

I remember a 2e era April issue of Dragon (#228?) that had a sort of parody of the First Quest column called Last Quest about embarrasing ways for PCs to bite it.

It suggested a garlic bread golem was one. A book of bad fantasy monsters from the 80s is alluded to as the source of the garlic bread golem.

Anybody ever own this book?

Anybody have a title?

Judges Guild's Field Guide to Encounters perhaps? I never owned this but from what I understand it was chock-full of bizarre/lame monsters along those lines.

Behold the power of Google. A search for "garlic bread golem" led me to this ENWorld thread from last summer, in which tzor identifies the source as "All the World's Monsters". Googling "All the World's Monsters" brought up this DriveThruRPG page -- yep, three volumes are available in PDF for $4.98 each.

I bow to your superior google fu.


That second link has not been working for me.

Nobleknight hasn't heard of All The World's Monsters as far as I can tell. I prefer print to PDF, but actually have never bought anything online, I just ocasionally check Nobleknight and The Hit Pointe to see if something has existed once upon a time.

Heh, I shouldn't have even needed Google because I actually have all three volumes of ATWM (just bought the pdfs a couple-three weeks ago). In my defense, though, there are a LOT of monsters in those books, and I haven't had anywhere near enough time to digest them all yet...

I understand, recent studies suggest, that digesting the garlic bread golem will be a heart healthy way to TPK your PCs.

Alas, the latest research (just heard this news story in the last week or so) indicates no positive benefits to heart health (i.e., reduced cholesterol, etc.) from garlic consumption.

Yes, but D&D's a fantasy game.

Only in golem form, apparently.

ENWorld turns the dtrpg.com site links into ones for the enworld pdf store.

on dtrpg it is under the publisher Chaosium, in their all the worlds monsters category.
