Rat-Man Monster

Joe Roberson · 02-10-2021, 01:44 PM

I got the Dungeon Fantasy box set and it has cardboard monster in it. It has Rat-man in it but I am not finding this monster in the monsters book. Can someone point me in the right direction?

I have already searched here but also could not find the Dungeon Fantasy Rat-Man.

Thanks!

They are described in Dungeon Fantasy, Against the Rat-Men, a published adventure that follow the Boxed set adventure

As Celjabba noted, it's Against the Rat-Men, a continuation of the boxed set's I Smell a Rat adventure. You can get it as a stand-alone PDF, or bundled with a couple other books in DFRPG Companion.

With that dungeon, you get to use all the maps in the boxed set, plus those rat-men figures. Without that dungeon, yeah, the rat guy figures do seem a bit lonesome, having no write-up in Monsters, or any other documentation. Maybe you can use them as particularly homely werewolves?

Thank you! Odd oversight of Steve Jackson games to not have that in the box set but at least I know how to go about it moving forward.

Not an oversight; it was planning for the future.

During the DFRPG Kickstarter, one of the stretch goals was for there to be a second adventure, which I got pulled in to write on short notice. Basically, SJ Games knew during the production phase of the DFRPG that there would definitely be a use for rat-man figures. That's also where one of the maps comes in. The in-box adventure uses three sides, but being broken up over two sheets, there was a blank map side, so that fourth side was pressed into service for the maps for Against The Rat-Men.
