tooley1chris Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 Had a hic-up in the conversions and had to redo some characteristics so I'm behind by a couple days. I'm currently on the Daemons and should start truckin full throttle today. I'm also noticing a lack of fan art for a lot of manual II critters. Guess they aren't as popular as MM1 beasties. Congrats to the team on the new layout here! 1 Quote Author QUASAR space opera system: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/459723/QUASAR?affiliate_id=810507 My Magic World projects page: Tooleys Underwhelming Projects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooley1chris Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 Woohoo! More than half way done! Forgot how many weird -slash- really weird critters were in this book... I wonder if some werent including just to pad the numbers... Anyway I also just got The Magic Book and Enlightened Magic in the mail so I may be pausing conversions for a day or two while i devour these.

Perhaps my gaming ego just wants it all Oh Im with ya! I want them all as well! I'm on the S's and hauling butt. I just hope these make it easier for future chroiclers to run games. I heard tell there's a monster book in the works for Magic World as well. I would highly recommend getting this when it's released as Im sure it will be miles better than these! These guys have a way of keeping critters more true to myth and legend than D&D did.

tooley1chris Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 Done with the conversions! *Phew* I'm rearranging some illustrations, changing some of the art, making the format prettier, and proof reading as I go. Just a few more days and I'll probably release. Honestly can't wait to be done with this one.

tooley1chris Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 I've been able to get a lot done last couple of days. Done with art and about 1/2 way through proof reading. Another day or two at most!

tooley1chris Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 Alrighty then, all done (I hope). The file is too large for me to upload to the downloads section but I've sent it to Trifletraxor so Im sure he will upload it soon! Hope it's useful to you good people! 1 Quote Author QUASAR space opera system: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/459723/QUASAR?affiliate_id=810507 My Magic World projects page: Tooleys Underwhelming Projects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simlasa Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Thanks so much for making these! Sometime soon I'm hoping to run a bizarre 'Dungeon Crawl Classics' inspired setting, so all the weird monsters will come in handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooley1chris Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 My own group is very into dungeon crawling right now so I get ya. There is NO LACK of weird critters in Manual II! Re-reading all of these descriptions after so many years has inspired a lot of neat ideas for my campaign and possibly a couple new Side-Treks for the Downloads section...

Robsbot Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 This is amazing! Thank you so much for this! I'll certainly use it for the occasional foray back into dungeon crawling and for inspiration for my campaigns. Your work is much appreciated.

rsanford Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I've started working on a conversion of AD&D Monster Manual II to be compatibile with Magic World! This is a slow, arduous project but I'm converting about 10 critters a day, with some neat fan art and some of the old School art as well. Currently on the letter B, alphabetically... Go for it Chris! I love your work and have already leveraged it in my first Magic World / BRP campaign. On a related note I just purchased the cuthlhu monster book and was a little disappointed with the limited amount of art. Normally I don't care anything about art but with a monster manual you want to see what creatures look like. We will see what comes with the new edition of all the world's monster but I suspect your monster manuals will be my "go to" resource for a long time.

tooley1chris Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 We will see what comes with the new edition of all the world's monster but I suspect your monster manuals will be my "go to" resource for a long time. I'm sure my conversions will take a back burner when Chaosium blesses us with the critter book and, honestly, I HOPE so. Some chroniclers just want stat blocks but I would love to see a massive tome of monsters with great art. Thick as a phone book. Hard cover. But I'm sure I'll be quite happy with whatever they provide. I'm glad you've found use for my conversions though. Wish I had time for Fiend Folio. Maybe someday. 1 Quote Author QUASAR space opera system: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/459723/QUASAR?affiliate_id=810507 My Magic World projects page: Tooleys Underwhelming Projects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooley1chris Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 FYI Trifletraxor has told me some files, including my conversions, are corrupted again. He will reupload these (and continue to take credit for them ) as soon as a new server update takes effect. 2 Quote Author QUASAR space opera system: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/459723/QUASAR?affiliate_id=810507 My Magic World projects page: Tooleys Underwhelming Projects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auyl Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I have to agree that this file is definitely very handy to have for all the D&D type creatures you'd want to use. Too bad there isn't a Legend version however as that is the d100 system I use most. But hey, just means I have to do some work myself, which isn't a bad thing! 3 Quote Get all our products at our website: www.devotedpublishing.com Check Solace Games out on Facebook here!
