I Always Imagine Monsters As Being Terribly Lonely

  1. May the gods help the poor adventurers if that thing is NOT lonely! I imagine running into a whole gaggle of castle spanning serpents (flock? swarm?) would really ruin my day if I was just in it for the loot.

  2. I really like that drawing, by the way.

    - Okay, what is going on... did you rig your word verification? For my first post it was "fogie" (as in we're not all a bunch of old fogies playing D&D) and this one was "thong".

  3. A friend has recounted that his DM gave the monsters a 10% chance of masturbating; well, what do you do when you sit around at home all day every day?

  4. @mordicai: link related (SFW), ya sick little monkey.

    Wasn't there something floating around the blogosphere a while back about true monstrosity being a function of uniqueness. I want to blame E.G.Palmer (Old Guard) for it with his weird ideas about random dragons, spontaneous generation and the like...

  5. I really like these drawings...they have a really Edward Gorey feel to them.

  6. @Chris; spontaneous generation is the best excuse for populating a dungeon, & lets you get away with ALL kinds of stupidity: "oh well the iron golems were around, some broke, rust mephits spontaneously generated, the rust monsters moved in, & that paved the way for bigger predators..."
