[RPG]: The Random Esoteric Creature Generator for Classic Fantasy Roleplaying Games and their Modern Simulacra, reviewed by The Grey Elf (2/4)

http://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/13/13762.phtml

Jason Vey's Summary:

An incredibly useful supplement for fantasy role playing games that suffers from layout and the author's antagonism towards d20.

No worries. I kind of hope so, too, as it's a very good utility.

The Titty Monster cover is old school awesome!

Thanks for the review, this sounds like a cool product. The only thing missing from the review were a couple of sample monsters made up using the rules. I would love to see what comes out of the generator.

OK, shameless self-promotion time... I'm really awful with hype... I should have posted some sample creatures on my site to coincide with the release, eh?

OK. I'll do that now...

*rolling rolling*

Done!

Check out the results here.
