The wolverine is something that is feared by hunters, but I'm unaware of a badger being able to take down a wolverine! I wish you could reverse the stats on the two creatures.

AGNKim, that's a honey badger, and it does seem to be a smaller version of a wolverine. Wolverines are just plain mean!AGNKim wrote:My inspiration for the badger: (NSFW language) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r7wHMg5Yjg

I think the UHF reference is a parody of some cop movie line from back in the day, "Badges? we don't need no stinking badges!"

Re: Classic Monsters The Manual
The "badges" line is from that great 1948 Bogart movie, the Treasure of the Sierra Madre. That movie is filled with great lines, but this is the one which has been spoofed so often. (Blazing Saddles, various TV cop shows of the 1970s, etc.) Pick up the DVD or download it sometime - it would make a great rolegaming adventure!Relaxo wrote:I think the UHF reference is a parody of some cop movie line from back in the day, "Badges? we don't need no stinking badges!"

Re: Classic Monsters The Manual
For those that are looking for an expanded index, my monster index is located here
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6141913/Castles ... 0Index.xls
It doesn't have stat blocks tho. There are other monsters out there that haven't been added yet (some modules, 3rd party, etc.)

If art has to be redone. redo it. I want as much art in a monster book as possible.
I will also chime in on the index of stats.. Alphabitized is better then by book.

Re: Classic Monsters The Manual
If we backed at a level high enough to get the other books, module, t-shirt, etc., - do we have to wait until Classic Monsters is printed to get the bundle?
Re: Classic Monsters The Manual
Steve, I see that Classic Monsters has been released in electronic format. I have not received an e-mail with the download link despite pre-ordering at the $25 level back in Nov. of last year. Please check your mail (orders[at]trolllord[dot]com) for my emails regarding this. I have also PM'ed you as well. Sorry for the thread de-rail.
Re: Classic Monsters The Manual
Can one of the Trolls or their representatives direct Steve to this thread so I can get a resolution to my above post? Thanks. I've tried all available means of contacting him except making the long-distance call.

Re: Classic Monsters The Manual
I just realised there is no mention of the monsters from Black Libriam of Nartulus in the back of Classic Monsters.
Are there any other books with lots of monsters also being left out?

Re: Classic Monsters The Manual
The ones from Gods and Monsters are not in there, Haunted Highlands critters aren't, and some later Aihrde creatures that are in the A series (A10 has two new monsters in it). I think that is it. Its a few monsters.Dead Horse wrote:I just realised there is no mention of the monsters from Black Libriam of Nartulus in the back of Classic Monsters.

Re: Classic Monsters The Manual
just got the pdf, and it looks good.
A typo leaped off the page at me on p. 19, under Behir, though: the Behir is said to attack 'viscously', when it should be 'viciously'.
