And here you are wrong... 'cause the Bestiary is not "just fantasy". You can use this sacred book to get fancy enemies for every setting, in every time period. So, if you are running a modern-era or a sci-fi campaign, you could make a use of Oil Beetles that can wield machineguns, filling with hot lead those incautious main characters!!!

Ok, ok, I'll remove that skill... Wink

Meeeeen! It's almost finished! Of course I need to repolish the whole thing, however now you'll find a full savaged EX version bestiary, ready to use, in the first post of this topic!
Sidenotes:
- I re-re-designed the demons
- I want to make the abilities around the file even more "consistent" each other.
- I want to introduce some "people" - Soldiers, Merchants etc. (maybe with 2 or 3 "levels" i.e. normal, experienced, master...)
- I hope to create other new creatures for you
- I want to gather some free creatures I find scattered around free adventures, or free conversions (of course, if I get the permission from the authors)
- I'd like to add some flavor stats like "Threat Level" Smile

One thing I noticed while reading this involved the templates? Could you use the template idea for creatures such as vampires, ghosts, and lycanthropes?

Lord Lance · Posted: Sun Jul 17, 2011 10:34 am Post subject:

Yeah, I think so.
However S.W. is not D&D, so I think it doesn't need so many detailed templates.

Wanna Undead-something? Simply add Undead monster ability, then some "random" weird creepy power.

Wanna Were-Something? Or Vampire-Something? Add Fast Regeneration, Immunity to (x), and a Weakness to (y) that works for your favorite setting...
ehi, ultra modern lovely emo vampires can even stand into the sun light!!!! ;D ;D

Wanna random mob Ghost? Simply add Ethereal.
Wanna indistuctible Ghost that hunt the party all-adventure-long??? Ethereal + Invulnerability + custom/obscure Weakness that has to be found during adventure.

Simple? Yeaaah! S.W. is (thanks Gods)!

I "upgraded" my Boss template integrating connorsrpg "multiple turns in a round" idea.
Now the Boss is REALLY easy and fast to create. Almost no time to pump-up all the dice 1 step, adding the derivate characteristics without make any additional math, finally almost all the abilities are "passive" and done to simplify the life of the Master (no gang-up, no PPs, no wound modifiers etc.)

Ehi, I noticed someone made a light PDF version of "my" bestiary and put on savagepedia...

Great work! The love is spreading...

Nice work!
Any considerations to take when using the latest SW-D rules?

Lord Lance · Posted: Sat Oct 01, 2011 8:43 am Post subject:

I'll wait 'till the SWD rules become more "mature". There is A LOT of noise around them, and I'm not so happy of the changes, so I think could be savvy to stand-by 'till a sort of "revised" or "second edition" comes out.

Of course, absolutely personal point of view.

Finally, I think creatures are not interested by the new rules directly, so the bestiary should be fully usable right now with no needs for adjustments.

I'll back up Lord Lance's last point: SWD has no impact upon critters. I doubt there's more than two entries in the entire Bestiary that need to be revisited because of the rules changes. (I'm fairly sure that there are zero entries that need a visit, but I'm certain there aren't more than two.)

I'm currently making a Deadlands-y primitive survival setting, with dark gods and whatnot. I'm making myself a ton of custom monsters for this setting, so maybe some of the coolest ones could be integrated into your awesome bestiary of glory?
I would truly be honored to be able to contribute to this thing. In my eyes a well-made monster or handy table is a work of art which surpasses anything those ear-cutting guys could make.
Actually, maybe van Gogh would've been an excellent GM...... he could certainly have made his own minis.
Sorry, off topic
Anyways, I hope my beasties are good enough.

lolz, the geeklord

How goes the progress? This is a really great bestiary, thank you so much for you work.

I don't know how to use Google Docs. How do I copy this to my PC or my reader? I tried and just get a bunch of files without a visible .exe or setup file.

My favorite line from this whole thing: "If the Boss has Powers, do not keep track of his PPs. He has a lot of them, trust me. "

I'm waiting to see if there is going to be any artwork added into it.

Like the original.
