As far as iconic DFRPG monsters go: I nominate the Ramex. Terrifying on a level that fits perfectly with DFRPG rules for steps, DR, vitals attacks, active defenses, etc. And yet at the same time, it's neither unbeatable nor hard to describe to non-gamers. (It's basically a Stranger Things Demogorgon which takes full tactical advantage of its dimension hopping.) I don't have any stories yet about using it in play, but I'm running I Smell A Rat for my sister-in-law and brother in a few of weeks, and I plan on changing the climax of the adventure to a Merle-as-a-Ramex (without Injury Tolerance, as an act of GM Mercy). Wish me luck! |

I never liked owlbears until now but I think I need some owlbears in this weekend's adventure. P.S. Also maybe some cute little bear-headed owls that nuzzle you while their bodies are facing away from you and their heads are turned 180 degrees backward. And bears with talons for paws and feet.

Re: Dungeon Fantasy Monsters 2 and Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game Reprint
I've long wondered this. Anyone know if there was anything similar to Kickstarter "back in the old days," i.e., pre-Internet? I wonder if it would have been a practical concept before lots of people were online.

Publication by subscription took the following form. A writer or bookseller promised to produce a book with certain specifications. Subscribers promised to pay for the book's production. In turn, they would each receive a copy.[5] Subscribers typically paid half in advance and half on delivery of the new book. Their names would be listed in the frontmatter of the edition for which they subscribed.[6][7] A subscriber could pay more to receive a book printed on better paper or to have their coat of arms included.[8] Subscribers did not always pay the same amount and had different jobs. "Benefactors" paid out more than they received in books; "undertakers" took on production and distribution responsibilities... Sounds like Kickstarter to me. |
