Somehow, I missed Rich LeBlanc's (New Big Dragon Games) Creature Compendium being priced at PWYW. At this price, it should be in every GM's toolkit for old-school / OSR gaming. Written for B/X AND 1e, it's a perfect fit for OSE, DragonSlayer, OSRIC, Swords & Wizardry, the original rules, and beyond.
Sample creature with stat block:
Remember those flashes of inspiration that electrified your brain when you first picked up that hardback volume of monsters all those years ago?
The countless nights you sat up thinking of how to use those monsters, where to put them, and when your players would meet them? Those unceasing waves of joy that swam over you and your players as you unleashed those creatures, critters, beasts, and behemoths upon their characters?
Collected herein are over 200 monsters from Abysmal to Zathoa, instilled with that same spirit, presented in a “dual-stat” format, and designed to be used with most early editions of the world’s original role-playing game and comparable retro-clones.
