Compiled Beasties

Post by Willis » Thu Nov 20, 2014 3:28 pm

Is there any sort of compiled list of monsters and their stats floating around? If not, I guess I need to make one for myself. Want to have a central location to look for baddies for my game.

Maybe not what you're looking for if you're after a self-contained ready reference (which you may have to do yourself, for copyright reasons) - but if you haven't seen it, definitely check out Elfcrusher's Bestiary and index to your PDF copies of the rules.

I've not put them into practice - stuck without local opportunities to play, and bad internet connection did for my chance to play online :( - but that's the most elegant solution I've seen so far.

I'll take a look. Unfortunately I don't have a PDF of the Laketown book so I can't make full use of it. That's the one book I actually have a hard copy of. I got it when PDFs weren't available for a while there.

Are the rules for the extra weapons and such in there really within the realm of the books or is it just trying to slip a bit more from other fantasy worlds into The One Ring?

Check out play-by-post. It's a fun medium.

I think (and it's been awhile) that those link to the compendium of fan material. Not official by any means, but generally with looking at.
