Kickin' It Old-School

I'd love to see some of the monsters from
The Isle of Dread...particularly the aranea, phanaton, and kopru. That vast catalog of dinosaurs (allosaurus, ankylosaurus, brontosaurus, dimetrodon, giant elk, gangeri, megatherium, phororhacos, plesiosaurus, trachodon...) would be awesome to have as well. And let's not forget that giant oyster.

I'd also love to have the monsters from the
Desert Nomads series of modules, too. Bhuts, nagpas, dusanu, tabi, mujinas, and geonids especially.

I'd love to see a more simplified system for mass combat. I'm thinking about something like those in the
Rules Cyclopedia...something much less complicated than Chainmail, which doesn't need fifty square feet of table space and a boxcar full of minis. You know, something that I can run the second half of
Test of the Warlords with, and
still be playing D&D.

The Malakaz (my favorite non-combat encounter of all time.)

Oh yeah, another monster: the Hivebrood.

Intelligent magical items that don't suck. Blackrazor, for example.
