Gods & Monsters - New Immortals Handbook Supplement

[dante58701]

I want to see the helioedes template, the omega template, the hunefer template, the welkin template, or the nosferatu template.

Please pretty pretty please.

*Begs whines and whimpers*

I really really need an epic level undead of some sort. WOTC kinda screwed that up with the ELH...they offered no epic undead templates. Except the demilich...which wasnt all that useful after the thousandth demilich opponent.

Hi dante mate!

I want to see the helioedes template

Probably.

the omega template

Unlikely.

the hunefer template

Don't think they'll allow it? Either way, it wouldn't be in Gods & Monsters as its not myth based.

the welkin template

Bestiary Volume 2

or the nosferatu template

I do have a new vampire template in Gods & Monsters but its technically not Nosferatu and its not one I have mentioned before.

Please pretty pretty please.

*Begs whines and whimpers*

I generally prefer a reasoned argument to begging.

Well as you know I will have tons of undead in Bestiary Volume 2. I will also have two undead in Gods & Monsters, but I am not going to say what they are at this stage, except to say one is a new vampire type (by new I mean I have never spoken of it before) and the other is not a vampire.

Are you making Dracula then? That's the only mythological vampire I can think of...

 

[Ltheb Silverfrond]

If I recall, back when I was in to Vampire, and other White Wolf games, someone told me the 'back-story' to vampire, and I recall Cain's progeny including Grendel's Mom from Beowulf. The Beowulf epic says this, but doesn't obviously say she's a vampire. Grendel is, however, described as being similar to the bestial clan of vampires, whose name escapes me.

Barring that, U_K will probably hit us with some version of a vampire from another culture.

Finally undead I can really sink my teeth into. I absolutely love vampires. Especially when theyre done right. Though what kind of vampire is it going to be. And the other undead...I spose Ill have to wait to see what it is.

If you cant do the Hunefer officially...can you make it as a nifty offering on your sight?

I love the hunefer for egyptian style campaigns.

 

[dante58701]

When is Gods and Monsters going to be available. In getting kinda antsy.

 

[Pssthpok]

I can't imagine we'll see it for at least a month or so after Ascension is finally polished, so I dunno... go stuff yourself into stasis and we promise to let you out.

And for someone who seems to get as much table time as you do, why can't you design your own new epic undead templates? With enough playtesting, anyone can get it right.

 

[dante58701]

I'm only good at number crunching and storytelling...not so good at smooth designs. Besides, there is nothing quite like the feel of "OFFICIAL" material. That way my gaming group can't go all rules nazi on me.

 

[Pssthpok]

Hate to break this to you, but only WotC material is OFFICIAL. Everything else is 3rd-Party and thus, highly susceptible to argument.

WOTC can bite my... ...yeah anyways. WOTC isn't the final say in D&D...least not since they ousted Gygax and made his life hell for a while. I think they should give D&D back to him since it's rightfully his and WOTC keeps making it worse by spewing out low grade garbage. Though....on the bright side...their low grade garbage opens the door for new designers with far more talent than most of the WOTC members...like Krusty here. Krusty makes great epic stuff. Picking up the ball where they HARDCORE dropped it.
