Giants have a long history in fiction and gaming. Hill giants in D&D are the most weak and stupid giants, but they still can be formiddable opponents because of their brute strength. They do not possess any supernatural abilities, but can swing clubs and throw rocks.

Monster: Hill Landwyrm

Monster: Hill Landwyrm

Desert and plains landwyrms are blurred out
Draconomicon is one of my favorite supplements for Dungeons and Dragons 3.5. It contains tons of draconic lore, options for dragons, allies of dragons, and dragonslayers. It also has some new monsters, and my favorites are the landwyrms. They are less smart than the true dragons, lack wings, breath weapons, and are based on their biome. Here we have my take on converting the hill landwyrm to GURPS.

Saturday 3 June 2017

Monster: Otyugh

Monster: Otyugh

Otyughs are one of my favorites. Tentacle monsters that eat refuse, live in the sewers or dumpsters, and sometimes cooperate with people in exchange for food. They are strong, their tentacles are long, and their bites can infect victims with filth fever. Neat!
