Well I am about to embark on an exciting and, I must admit to myself, over ambitious attempt at a board game. Not just any simple roll dice and go around the board until the "end", but the much more complex type of board game enjoyed by gamers. I will be using several different platforms, many different rule systems, inventing a few rules that others will say "we don't do that", characters that some will like and some won't, and basically screw things up now and then. But I look forward to the enjoyment of creating something. It isn't even a necessity that anyone even play it. I'm doing this strictly for the joy of creation and to push myself to see if I can do this. I expect this endeavor to last me at least a year with all the research, oops, shit, fucks, test playing, embarrassment, and guts it will take to complete.

New Monsters?

I told my daughter about my blog and she was commenting on the monsters. She thought they were cool. Then she started coming up with monsters that took every day animals, some even cute little things, and turned them into horrible death dealing monsters.

  • Fire Spitting Rabbit
  • Boiling Water Spitting Tiger
  • Sharp Toed Hippo - who's toe nails are metal blades
  • Acid Laced Sugar Glider - if it touches you, will poison you (she said kill, but have to be able to fight a little bit)
  • Killer Mermaid - who can walk on land
  • Laser Eyed Bearded Dragon - who shoots lasers out of his eyes
  • Death Bringer Komono Dragon - eats people 
  • Poison Kitten - has poisonous claws and also has thumbs to be able to grab
  • Skull Chomping Chinchillas
Such an imagination! I may use some of these. I did notice that I didn't have any dragons in my monster list. I can see more research on the way on how to build stats for a monster. I know I've seen it on the Paizo web site.
