Tome Eight: Handlist of Horrors

This is a long list of tiny seeds for creature creation, with suggested hit dice levels and a suggested method for calculating other statistics from that hit dice level. For example, a GATAKAIROS (see below) has 6 HD, AC 4 [15], and claws for 2d6 points of damage. 

Here's a QUICK SAMPLING:

ABACUS JELLY: Gelatinous blue dodecahedron studded with lit vacuum tubes. Houses a sorcerer’s soul.

EPHIALODAEMON: 6’ tall mantis with the head of human infant. Voice like a castrato.

GATAKAIROS: A patchwork combination of a gecko and jaguar made from the skin of a dead god.

PNO-IRA-KAA: Giant head that sleeps furiously and explodes in a thousand poppy flowers when awakened.

TAROT CARACAL: A lion with a single wooden wheel instead of legs. It eats only the heads of its victims.

ZIZYPHON: Divine carnivorous bush. Emits infrared light. Cool to touch. Creates miracles for any who feed it.

And that's only a SAMPLING!

I'm always on the look out for another way of using monsters & adding in a bit more mayhem to my games. The truth is that you have to add in the touch of the unexpected into games because of very experienced & jaded old school players. They've [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
