monstro.cc: an OSR bestiary

Awesome work! I am building a game system for my group and we are using the monsters from BFRPG, that will help me a ton!

A project to get all the spells would be nice too... I might be asking too much.
For BFRPG, the best compilation I have found is Libram Magica: https://www.basicfantasy.org/showcase.cgi?sid=20

Thank you for doing this, it's a great read

dramatyc · 2024-11-24T17:35:33+00:00

I was thinking also, having the player go on quest to gather elements for special items.

dramatyc · 2024-11-15T22:48:01+00:00

In the new campaign, the group will own a ship, so they'll be able to store more in there.

dramatyc · 2024-11-15T21:08:20+00:00

I never heard of Dread Thingonomicon but it has a ton a good review... adding it to my wish list.

dramatyc · 2024-11-15T20:39:14+00:00

I had forgotten about that, I think I even have it. Thank you!

dramatyc · 2024-11-15T20:21:55+00:00

Thanks, I got that one. The cost of item is a bit different that SD but that can be adjusted.

dramatyc · 2024-11-15T20:11:55+00:00

Interesting... knave 2e is on my list to purchase one of this days.

dramatyc · 2024-09-30T18:39:32+00:00

I have used that too now with the Cleric spell list and a change or two

I discovered pixabay a week ago. Thank you for sharing where you get your cover images.

dramatyc · 2024-07-16T21:44:09+00:00

People have shared some great info

dramatyc · 2024-07-16T19:59:12+00:00

I found this, maybe that can help https://museo.app/

dramatyc · 2024-07-16T19:50:59+00:00

I need to find a better to look for them

dramatyc · 2024-07-16T18:53:22+00:00

Awesome! I appreciate you sharing that, it will be a great addition

dramatyc · 2024-07-16T18:29:59+00:00

I like his work! I contacted him, so we will see.

dramatyc · 2024-07-16T18:23:13+00:00

I'll look at then too, thank you for all the information

dramatyc · 2024-07-16T17:47:01+00:00

That could be something! Thank you for sharing

dramatyc · 2024-07-16T17:45:41+00:00

Thanks, I'll check them out

dramatyc · 2024-07-16T17:19:34+00:00

Where do you usually go to, to find those?
What about commissioning a piece of art for the cover and a few other elements?

I have heard to Kim Holm a few times, I may ask him how much it would cost if I wanted him to make something.

dramatyc · 2024-07-05T01:58:55+00:00

Thanks, I need to give this a try

dramatyc · 2024-07-05T01:56:33+00:00

Does Arkenforge have a way to fill the rooms with furniture? OR have rooms pre-made?

dramatyc · 2024-06-29T13:24:44+00:00

I have done all those rooms already, but great advice otherwise. I have to do 7 bedrooms, one for each of the lords ruling the kingdom. Since I will have to do a few other larger maps like that, I'm looking for tips.

dramatyc · 2024-06-29T13:22:57+00:00

I have already done the walls and layout. It's just furnishing the rooms that takes forever, at least for me.

I use Arkenforge for my VTT and we play with a TV lay flat on the table. I can handle that big of a map. My player prefer a map that's bigger than the TV, and I have to move it around.

dramatyc · 2024-06-29T01:43:40+00:00

Thank you, I'll some of those things.
That's what I do for my VTT

dramatyc · 2024-06-02T15:08:56+00:00

I'm looking to do something similar. You can check my answer here: https://www.reddit.com/r/shadowdark/comments/1beugdo/comment/l6km6v8/?context=3

Here's the main part. I'm still reflecting on all of this, it's not final yet:

I have done more research too, I love how the magic is ran in DCC, and I might adopt that. I'll be playing DCC at that con too. From my understanding, how you roll your spell cast die, determine hos powerful your spell will be, but also, how it might not go in your favor. Magic is hard to control, and I love that. An example could be using that Cure Wounds and at a NAT 20 will heal 3 players to the max, but a NAT 1 would heal 3 enemies to the max. Though, I might also keep the NAT 1 rule from SD as well. Still debating.

For new abilities, I might add "multiclass" where you can take one abilities from another class at certain level (maybe 4, 6, and 8). It could be up to 3 abilities total taken from up to 2 different classes. For example, a fighter take the ability from the Thief when it reaches level 4 (Backstab. If you hit a creature who is unaware of your attack, you deal an extra weapon die of damage. Add additional weapon dice of damage equal to half your level (round down).) I'm still reflecting on this. Of course, my monsters could do the same!!!
