Taking Requests

For the sheer fun of it, I am going to convert some monsters to DCC. I am going to choose the monsters by request.

Here are the rules:

(1) Post the monster you are interested in seeing in the "comments" section.

(2) I'll do at least three, through a process of random selection and/or choosing the ones that interest me. I might even do them all.

That's it.

You can select monsters from other games (make sure to link to or supply statistics if it isn't a standard D&D-type critter!), from pictures (old SF magazine covers, something you drew, stills from movies or TV shows, etc.), by reference (such as a creature from a specific REH or ERB story, a balrog, etc.), or simply through description ("I need a cool monster that looks like a ball with a lot of spikes, etc.). Remember to link, or give a clear description of what you want.

Somewhat inspired by this post.

  2. I want to see a monster like the crocodile from Peter Pan - it prefers to eat its victims bit by bit, over a long period of time. For example, the first time you encounter it, it might bite off a hand. Then it escapes, but starts stalking its victim. Days later, it might attack again and take the rest of the arm. A few days after that, it takes a foot. Of course, the missing limbs can't be restored unless the monster is slain.

  3. A Gazeball, a floating eye/gas spore hybrid that paralyzes you and drains your Intelligence until it explodes, after which 0-2 new gazeballs emerge from your skull...

    1. Well, I posted on the topic, but I haven't posted stats. The problem is that I sometimes get to see/playtest materials before they are available, and there is a Tarrasque-ish creature coming up in a DCC adventure. Conflict! I will have to wait until said adventure has been available for a while, and if the request still stands, I might design my own.

    2. Okay, Vincent, I revisited the Tarrasque: http://ravencrowking.blogspot.ca/2015/06/tarrasque-redux.html

    1. I should add that there is a more 0E/Holmes-style version of these creatures' statblocks in the Swords & Wizardry Monster Book, if you have that.

    2. Done. I hope my version meets your approval.

  6. How about Anubis Prime from Stargate (not SG series). A little SF-Fantasy PB & chocolate!

    1. I haven't actually followed Stargate, so I am going to need some help with this one. Does Anubis Prime appear in the original film? What references can I use to help stat him out?

      Thanks!

    2. If I'm not mistaken, Anubis Prime is the primary antagonist in the movie. I wouldn't know any more than that though, as I also never followed the series or the ancillary materials that might be of use to this purpose.

    3. Done. I hope to your satisfaction.

  7. Kobold.

    Seriously. I did one, flipping expectations on their head by going back to the folklore. I'd love to see another version out there (and maybe it'll be 'out there').

  8. Okay; I am going to try to do all of the creatures requested at this point, probably starting with the potted plant, and then going in order of request. I am still en-casted from my broken wrist, so the going is still a bit slow.
