If you're no longer active here, where are you active, may I ask?
I’m not into mythology monsters lately, at least not into writing about them, I’m not active anywhere, I’m more into gaming lately, waiting for Resident Evil Requim, one of my favorite series, now re-playing many Resident Evil titles, Dead Space, Tales of Berseria and more.
I’ll return eventually, maybe when this whole woke-age is over, as I keep getting attacked for using some mythology monsters in my projects...
While D&D isn’t as good as it used to be, most of the monsters are still iconic.
Here is a list of all monsters and how often they appeared in the MONSTER MANUAL 1 (Only the first Monster Manual of an edition counts) of every edition.
Monsters that are put into Monster Manual 1 are the lovechilds of a generation, they are the first to appear in the books and so the most loved by the DEV’s and often also by the fans.
I included only the ones I really love, I left out monsters I don’t care for such as Hippogriff, Hill Giants and some others, but most important monsters are present.
THE MOST FAMOUS D&D MONSTERS THAT MADE IT INTO EVERY SINGLE FIRST MONSTER MANUAL EDITION
I'm writing from BBC Studios, we are making a paranormal documentary series for BBC Two called Uncanny and we are looking at the Shadow Man figure in different clutures.
We are intersted in showing the image you have of The Fear Dorcha on your page, do you know who might own the copyright to this?
It would be great if you could drop me an email at [email protected].
Thanks so much,
Amy
Hello,
I think it said Michels 2007? But I'm not sure, it isn't a Fear Dorcha or Shadow Folk artwork, it's probably from another video game character. As the artwork is pretty old, I'm not sure where to find the original artwork. Sorry
Words cannot describe how much I hate this new(ish) pathfinder Monster Core book.
I used to love Pathfinder/Paizo to death, but now it's just pathetic.
Removing Golems out for cultural reasons, but keeping Dybbuk (who is also from Jewish folklore/myths) in? Who makes up these random rules?
Removing ALL non European mythological monsters (such as Wendigo) and only keeping a few from Hindu (Naga and Rakshasa) is just stupid.
Removing all D&D monsters makes sense maybe and the changes in Basilisk and Barghest are good, but then they cut a lot of interesting monsters from the game but keep Pegasus + Griffon + Hippogriff around, three monsters that have the same use and aren't interesting at all...
This James guy (boss of paizo) always had a hard-on for Lovecraft, but since Lovecraft is some sort of racist, he cut all the lovecraft monsters and replaced them with his own boring imaginations which look like 2ndary lovecraft bores. The "new" devils, angels, demons and stuff are horrible choices, the worst made up demons of all times, they can never replace the awesome D&D demons and devils.
Removing all the foreign mythology but keeping the name heaven and hell, tells me you don't respect Christian players at all, not that I like religion, but if you please one side of the coin, why still harm the other, in my opinion you should just keep using everything, spare for holy gods and symbols maybe, but monsters should be used freely, if cultures don't want their monsters to be used in other media, don't share their stories.
Also all these cute-monsters, why? To please a few two-ponytailed girls that play the girl?
Again, I used to really live towards the release of yet another paizo bestiary, but lately they seem to want to please the woke-side of their fanbase more than to release actually good products...
Minotaurs being reduced to a boring race is also bad, and forced art for male Harpies and Medusa's is just sad, especially they are there to just make a statement.
I do like the new Hags though, one of the only good things in the book.
I understand why you don't like hippogriffs, standard mermaids, standard dragons, elves, dwarfs, and hupia, but what's the deal with you disliking jiangshi, sasquatches, and huldra?
Sasquatches are also boring to me, there are too much species and they are just hairy humans.
I’m getting tired of people asking mythology-channels on youtube about the Jiangshi and Huldra, suddenly everyone knows and craves for these (in my eyes) boring mythological creatures.
Hi love your page it’s really amazing and inspiring and can you list off all your undead or ghost spirits it’s for looking for inspiration please and thank you again love your page
Thanks!
All undead and ghosts are posted in my last post
(It's the most wonderful list of the year)
, scroll all the way down until you see the groups sorted out, one of those groups is called undead.
So my least favorite human on this planet (Musk) is going to buy (at least he said he will) over D&D to make it "great"' again.
I'm actually not against the thought, I hated this new version of D&D as much as I hated Musk himself, so he can actually save the woke mess that is D&D (after 2015 or so) has become.
Finally awesome monster manuals again, and not this anti golem, orc, drow, beautiful-female-monsters, djinn, wendigo parades, back with PURE evil monsters, not every creature needs a reason to be evil.
If not, I hope they drown each other out. D&D was dead to me anyway, it can only get better, and if it gets worse, at least the torture is over.
May I request a post wherein you go over the bosses of Mythika, when and where you battle them, and their role in the setting?
I'm working on an entire new world of Mythika, I'm playing a lot of Shin Megami Tensei games lately, and it really inspiring me to create my own world like that, not 100% the same of course, but some monsters and battle systems from that game are really awesome!
So more on bosses and stuff like that later, but expect Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Sin Lords (like Narcissus, Lilith and Alastor) the witch queen Baba Yaga, Jack Frost, Jack-in-Irons, Jack the Ripper, Medusa, Hundred-Handed Ones and many more to be bosses in the proposal game (it will never be a real game though, don't have the finances to do so or the skills)
