Hi all, I've added a Word document that I'll keep in the Files section for two weeks. Sections of it have been available in the past on the old group. ~Scott...
Good to see OD&Dities contributors have joined: Erin D. Smale Carl David Quaif Geoff Gander and especially so Richard Tongue! I put up a list of OD&Dities...
Hello, I have a question for anybody in this group. Has anybody made a monster book with all the monsters used in D&D, from all the modules rules books and new...
... monster book with all the monsters used in D&D, from all the modules rules books and new monsters created by fans ? I do not know about the fans but the AC...
As a follow up the previous post, there is also the Challenger/Rules Cyclopedia version of the Creature Catalog (9438, DMR2). Does this version contain the...
I would suggest going to the Creature Catalog as well, though either edition won't include monsters from the original boxed sets (Basic through Immortals). ...
I was hoping there was such a Fan type Monster Manual out there. Making one for personal use and or sharing i wouldn't think would break any laws ? As for all...
I suspect the sharing is where law comes into play. Certainly, there's nothing stopping you from creating a Fan type Monster Manual for your own use, but as...

Good points, all. Ultimately, I see the most useful approach as that of a searchable database where we can organise and filter results. Would also be nice to ...
Hi all, ... suspect that using the Judges Guild/Mayfair approach would work. IIRC, JG had an agreement with TSR to use the Dungeons & Dragons brand, which...
... I definitely agree on this point. With that logic, maybe we should just start out with our online OD&D monster database and people can add what they want....
... I agree heartily. I'll be glad to do some data entry on this myself. Besides having a substantial archive of my own (I started playing about the time the ...
Hi again, As I search for my notes file so I can begin sharing on this project, I wonder how much the community would appreciate monster stats/descriptions...
I think basic stats would be the best, allowing broadest appeal and the opportunity for DMs to tweak as necessary. Working on a DB as we speak, using the...
An interesting idea, basing hit dice on creature mass. Regardless about how well it would work as a mechanic, in my case I'm planning on pretty well...
... I'm probably not telling you anything you don't know, but I'll state the standard line for the sake of a baseline for the discussion. In the standard D&D...
Hi all, Sooner or later, we will run out of new things to say about the old rules, just like we often did in the old group. But the old rules can be endlessly...
... I don't know about anyone else, but _I_ haven't run out of things to say about the old rules yet, either supportive or critical. :) And as far as tweaking...
