giant toad

Moving on to 3rd edition OA there are a few new monsters in this book that were not in 1e. Converting them here. This is a strange one. Never really thought of toads as something specific to an Oriental setting but the variants appear in each edition … so here you go. I also […]

Renshii Meidi (Children of the King)

In the final campaign showdown for The Divine Heir and the Jade Regent the PCs will be fighting against Renshii Meidi amoung other bad guys.

tasloi

Converting the 3rd edition OA monsters as there are a many new monsters in this book that were not in 1e.

Huyanwo, Ancient Void Dragon

I based the Huyanwo off Kalameet from Dark Souls. In fact I was planning on using the Dark Souls Boardgames to run this as void dragons in my campaign setting actually warp reality and I represent that by changing the rules of the game when my PCs fight. But since we were forced to go online […]

Hachiman, The Power of War

pennaggolan

Moving on to 3rd edition OA there are a few new monsters in this book that were not in 1e. Converting them here. I knew about this monster first hand from my wife who’s family is from the Philippines. This is actually a tamed down version of the real folk-version. Philipinos (and many Asian […]
