Here's the tag line:
Classic Monsters: The Manual. Fear the snail.

There will be some new monsters, fresh from the mind of yours truly. Been gaming for 148 years now, so I have a few in my brain floating around.

OK, maybe closer to 25 years...

what about the Dire Duck?
or Dire Flumpf?

NORKERS! You've been advised.

~O

Norkers: See Goblin, Hob. Add 1d3 bite damage. Fights with club. Cut and paste everything else.

Haha! Seperate entry required. Srlsy.

~O

Xvart, Meezel, Meenlocks?
(I have no idea the original source book for these)

Xvarts make me think of evil Smurfs.

They appeared in the 1st Edition Fiend Folio. According to the credits in the back of the book, the Xvart was created by Cricky Hitchcock, the Meazel by Dermot Jackson, and the Meenlock by by Peter Korabik.

SWEET! SO THEY'RE IN!

Norkers, Xvarts, Meezels and meenlocks became a bit of a running gag wiht some friends of mine because I inherited a Ranger character whos character sheet listed every possible humanoid and giant he had a bonus to fight, and I guess this group didn't have the FF because they hadn't heard of Norkers, Xvarts and Meezels... and out of context, those are silly sounding words, so it became a running gag.
I didn't say it was a funny story.

I have my own versions of these, but it will be fun to compare and modify, or just use both at once. Really throw a loop around the waist of a "veteran."

This just in: The Tarrasque is pretty awesome.

As you were.

This book needs to be released, immediately. Can't.... control.... urges....

~O

That can get you arrested.

I would love to see a huge tome of monsters, a lot of the classics from TSR many monster compendiums. I have always loved the Hound of Ill Omen and the werespider.

But honestly, it needs to be big (like 400+ pages) and be hard back.

For the sole reason that I can drop in on the table in front of my players and say;

"This is my boomstick!"

I noticed Steve doesn't have a "Badger" in the M&T. Even though its a relatively mundane creature, I think I'm going to put it in. Why?

WTF?
Honey Badger FTW.
I thought the clip was going to be, "We don't need no stinking badgers!" from UHF, but NO, that was funny.

OMG love that narrator! "Oooh that's so naasty!!"

"ewwww, it eats snakes!"

Great video.
