http://www.lomion.de/cmm/_contents.php has just about every monster ever published for AD&D 2nd edition - a useful source for your conversion mongers out there. Not my site, just passing it along. :mrgreen:

Attempted to check out your Star Trek site, but it's a dead link I guess. Welcome to the Crusade!

Try this if you want to get a gander at his site. A much larger site though is here. This is where I have my FASA Trek contributions stored.

Thanks! I still have the SB10 domain, I just shut it off because it was becoming a spam trap. Once I tighten the security, it will be back.

Great site, thanks for sharing (the Star Trek sites too! )

But you know, I'd forgotten how much I disliked the artwork for the monsters ... oh well,

While this is cool I am not particularly sure this is legal. The rules themselves may be but this uses art work and descriptions that are copyrighted and out of the realm of the OGL.

Oh, it's most definitely not "legal." it infringes all over WotC's copyright with IP and logos. However, it looks to be a Russian site, so the wheels of copyright justice may move slowly. My suggestion: enjoy it while you can, cause it won't be there forever.

The backend servers are in Germany. I'll use my offline browser and check out the site a bit more later...

The point is that linking to illegal material is not really allowed here.

I sucked it down onto a HD. Sooner or later the site will go dark.

Yow! :o

I'd never have had the patience to click and download each page of that site! Amazing fortitude, old man! (I want a "smiley" of a salute!)

No need to my good man. PageNest threw it all into a directory in ~2 minutes... Now I just click a link in my bookmarks and it runs from my HD.

Will try it out Friday, and if it doesn't work, it'll be default of the person who recommended it. :lol:

I agree with Julian, the site is very much illegal. For legal monsters and much more, visit here http://www.purpleduckgames.com/ .

On the subject of downloading websites, I use this http://www.httrack.com/ .

One COULD make a nice PDF of all pages - with Acrobat just a question of time and space. But this PDF with 2640 pages would surely be larger than 140MB, if someone "would" do such a thing. Still, it also would be searchable. A few of the entries are damaged.

It's better and faster as html. The site is a bit less than 1 gig.
