Updated! Here are a whole bunch of demons from my notes - All based on their 1E power levels if possible. If you like those power levels, the alkilith (reclassed as a Type IV here) might need some paring back to match. If you like demons as they were in 2E, add some offensive spell-like abilities and bump everything up to +2 or better weapons to hit.
I'm also giving most all demons a "Type". This adds a bit more flexibility to the gate powers of most demons, so players beware.
All demons have the following abilities in common:
Immunity (half): cold, electricity, fire, poison; telepathic communication, deepvision 90 ft., darkness, teleportation without error.
Most demons have the ability to gate in other demons. Unless specifically noted, all demons have the ability to gate in dretch at their normal chances.
Experience: If you swap abilities in or out to make variations on these basic types, I counted the above abilities as 2 x Special I (telepathy, d12 hit dice), 5 x Special II (immunites, darkness), and 1 x Special III (teleport w/o error, gate.)

You know what would make this even better? Putting all the conversions in a single thread.
Otherwise, for those who need them... yay.
Yah, I've got the day off and am posting them as I do them... besides, this way they each get a really bad pun F'rex, I've got a Zorbo ready, but I can't think of anything funny involving Anthony Quinn.
Seriously, I'll try not to flood. As the monster master, I'm sure you've got all the conversions you need, but does anyone else have any requests for 3-4 monsters that fit a theme? My to-do list is pretty big, so whatever anybody wants I'm sure it's on there.

I'd love to see types II and III if you've got 'em.

Hey those look great, Dangersaurus. I have several plastic minis of them which I normally wouldn't use since they're not in the M&T. Seems I have less time to convert stuff from 1E/2E, so I just use the M&T.

This is great, thanks!
Now I would like to ask some questions:
1) Can I put them into the Creatures Features netbook I am working on? (It's a free netbook that will be available on Dragonsfoot soon, although always adding some more stuff delays its publication...).
2) Can I get the texts that have been "snipped", and are they OGC?

My Congrats to you, thanks dangersaurus.
Turanil: set a limit number, say 300. Once you get it realease it. Then start a new one!
300 creatures in the netbook is still a long way to go... In fact I plan to stop with these demons and a bunch of special skeletons I got somewhere else. The thing is, there aren't demons in the M&T, and no real demons yet in the Creatures Features netbook, so I thought of adding these. Now I can convert a few from the SRD after all, but if someone had already written some fluff text it would be less to do for me. I plan to release a first draft (with pics and all) the 4th or August as I go on vacation thereafter. Then, when coming back (only 1 week later), I will work on the color cover. Once this is done I hope people will have made some comments or edit on the first draft, so I can produce a final version. Still a few days to wait guys!

Sure thing. You may want to change the names on the non-OGC monsters (alkilith to slime demon, chasme to fly demon, bar-lgura to organgutan demon... ecch, maybe something less bland.)
Quote:

The snipped texts are 100% direct lifts from old 1E rulebooks. Great for my personal notebooks, but definitely copyrighted. Many of the demons have flavor text in the SRD that you can lift if you are making the netbook under the OGL.
I hope to have more in a few days (no promises though - I just started a new job, in-laws are in town, baby on the way in 31 days, etc.)

Excelent Turanil! Real thanks for all that hard work!
All with pics? Superb.
So far the netbook is going to have around 30 pics, but unless I do some for the demons, there are none for them yet. Later I may do a few demon pics heavily inspired from the 1e ones...

Here are three more from the MM, one from MM2, and one from a Dragon article:
Note: I'm attempting to stay within the 1st edition power scale and fit most all of the demons to a "Type"... this is somewhat tough with these, since doing so would result in marilith and balor demons being outclassed by supposedly lower Types. I decided to beef up these two demons, making them fit a little better with the power levels of other demons and with the power levels in the M&T - all IMO of course.

Gate: Yeenoghu can attempt to gate in d4+1 Type I demons with an 80% chance of success. He may also create 66 gnolls (with maximum hit points) or summon 16 ghouls at will.
Note: I'm attempting to stay within the 1st edition power scale and fit most all of the demons to a "Type"... this is somewhat tough with these, since doing so would result in marilith and balor demons being outclassed by supposedly lower Types. I decided to beef up these two demons, making them fit a little better with the power levels of other demons and with the power levels in the M&T - all IMO of course.

I will add into the netbook only those demons that have a counterpart in the d20SRD (so no Arkilith or Goristroi). I will probably beef them up if the srd versions are more powerful. On the other hand, I will probably keep most of your HD rather than the SRD's since you use d12 where SRD uses d8.
Some of the netbook's drawings where done by myself, and there is another contributor, as well as drawings from centuries ago to which no copyrights are attached. At this time I have not the time to set up back a ftp access (and find the appropriate software, where I wrote my passwords, etc.) so I won't post drawings for the moment.

I read a post from the publisher of Necromancer Games which stated that many 1e monsters not in the SRD are also now OGL. This content was published in the Tome of Horror series. That series is 100% OGL (not the art). Therefore the names of the monsters can be used. But what about the stats? If they are adapted to C&C they would not be directly infringing upon 1e, so there shouldn't be any legal issues (hmmm, even if they were copies it might be ok, since they are now OGL).
Any update on the netbook?
Cheers.
