<t>More monsters than you can shake a stick at... no category this time, I just noticed my pile had gotten very large and I hadn't posted most of it. Once again, flavor text that works just fine at my table is not fine to post out to the internet, so I've snipped it. Here's a q...

I'm using one based off of Metathiax's version, found in his house rules:

Dangersaurus

I'm giving a ROF of 2 to anything that had a rate of fire higher than 1 in AD&D... but with the same penalties as two-weapon fighting. That is, -3 for the first shot, -6 for second. Both can be reduce to zero by dex modifiers.

Definitely not by the book though.

Dangersaurus

I hate to say this, but I keep hearing that "TL editing makes Mongoose look good." So please please please, take your time. Have someone (and not a fan or someone who worked on it) give it a critical proofread... especially if it's going to have glossy pages (ie non-errata-able).

I think Nelzie was the one asking about submitting monsters...

All I've done are conversions, I can't claim the original ideas or even much originality in rephrasing the flavor text to avoid being pure cut-n-paste.
