"Bestiary" and "IQ" are almost definitely misnomers, however. Personally what I want more than monsters are pre-mapped dungeons. Monsters are easy enough for me to make/find, it's environments I can't find enough of in published settings.

I might be wrong here, but I strongly suspect that there will never be a big 200+ page 'Bestiary'. I think it is more likely to be a series of PDFs. For that matter given that Fantasy Folk is on the wish list it might even be multiple series of PDFs. |

Re: GURPS Bestiary - SJG could publish "compilation" of monsters from various books
I realize this thread is over a month old, but figured I'd throw in my two cents here.
That really is one thing that is semi-lacking in GURPS. A book you can just whip open, find a monster, and let the players attack it, when you're trying to buy some time to figure out how to properly get the characters on track after the players have totally screwed something up that you thought would be pretty obvious to do... Most of the posts that want a Bestiary are also looking for it to provide templates for Shapeshifters. What would be nice is to take the 3rd Edition Bestiary, Fantasy Bestiary, Space Bestiary, etc and the Shapeshifters book (yeah, there was one, and it's awesome!) and kind of meld them together to form a series of books. Basically each book would be the Beasts / Monsters / Aliens and contain shape shifting templates where appropriate. Of course just like any other GUPRS book, it does need to be well researched, that's just the way they are done, and one of the main reasons I buy them. Seriously there are things I've actually learned from GURPS books that I didn't know before. They are like encyclopedias in disguise as a game! If I didn't have so much else going on, I'd consider doing it myself. But really, it shouldn't be terribly impossible to take what creatures were already in the 3rd edition bestiaries and convert them to 4th, right? slaapliedje |
