Still working on the first one.
I did the first one the old fashioned way. It’s still a work in progress. Lots of flipping pages in multiple books. It’s fun, but time consuming. If this were Dungeon Crawl Classics, I’d have been done ages ago.
For round 2 I decided to go with a statistically simpler creature and used the beautiful Monster Generator at RPGSuperstar.com I absolutely love this little web app! I suspect the mighty Stephen Glicker designed it and wow does it ever help with the whole process. All one has to do is inject creativity.
For this monster creation session, I went with the High Ogre. It’s an Ancestry of Ogres that evolved down a different path from their more brutish cousins. They are building an advancing civilization akin to humans or dwarves.
This one is still a work in progress. I’m going to add some spells, resistances and a weakness or two before I release it into the wild.

More on this creature as it develops. I have so many more planned in the next two months, including three that will be submitted for judging. Please feel free to give me feedback on social media, messaging or email. Thank you!
