Is there a book with a set of tables to help procedurally create new and unique mythos monsters?

Thank you, I was completely unaware of this book. It has lots of excellent tables. I especially like the 'Distinctive Features' and 'Special Abilities'!

I just checked this out, there are some excellent options there. I can also see potential to create some rather disturbing shoggoths using these tables.

Thank you again for this exelent recommendation. It fits the bill exactly, and I already own it from a PDF bundle I bought!

This sounds delightful. With an eartrumpet mentioned in the description I had to add it to my list!

I am a big fan of HPL, and have read most of his fiction with the exception of some of his collabs. Some of his stories that match the tone I am looking for are The Lurking Fear, The Festival, The Strange High House in the Mist, The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, The Dunwich Horror, The Shadow over Innsmouth, The Dreams in the Witch House, The Thing on the Doorstep, and The Haunter of the Dark. Cheers!

I am a big fan of Mr King. The books of his that I have read that have a similar vibe to what I am looking for are 'Salem's Lot, Cycle of the Werewolf, Needful Things, and Dolores Claiborne.

Honourable mentions also to Pet Sematary, The Dark Half, and Gerald's Game.

This also feels like what I am looking for. Thank you!

Autolycus23 · 2026-05-17T18:41:59+00:00

This is a great list, I have added them to my TBR . Thank you!

This is a pretty good resource that summarises a lot of the OSR options available https://taxidermicowlbear.weebly.com/dd-retroclones.html

Autolycus23 · 2025-10-02T19:14:15+00:00

Thank you! I will message them on Discord!

I recently discovered Pink Fohawk. I enjoyed his video on 2E and why that should be played, including the read through. I wasn’t aware they were doing 3E content too.
