It never occurred to me that you'd be posting stuff there. I'm still kinda in the "ENWorld is a forum" mindset, and haven't looked much at other folks blogs.Yeah, that sounds like the kind of monster hotness I can _seriously_ get behind.Adamant's Foe Factory: Modern is actually a large step in the direction you're talking about, but it's focused on Modern NPCs. Still I messed around a bit with it, using the GT cost of special abilities and then ranking the monsters on the 1 - 10 scale that seemed right.Most (all?) of the Foe Factory: Modern is OGC, so I don't think there's any need for concern as far as that's concerned. The main inspiration for it apparently was spycraft's system of NPC generation. I don't know jack about spycraft, but I thought the Foe factory was ripe for pillaging to use for simpler monster design.It bears a bit of resemblence to Ryan Stoughton's DM helper thingy. I'm not sure how Foe Factory came up with their numbers for stuff though.You make a monster generator like you're talking about? Show how some of the "classic" monsters translate and how to do that kind of conversion? I guarantee I'll be buying a copy of it. Even if it doesn't come with a nifty spreadsheet thingy like the GT Creature Creator did.Although I admit I bought the Creature Creator just for the spreadsheet, since I already had GT.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
