Sourcing a bestiary is a bit of a problem for some GMs.
=20
There are some who use the DQ II rules, some who use the Unofficial GM
Guide (available in PDF from several places), some who use
internet-generated resources (the bestiary in "Poor Brendans Almanac" is
one of the better copies), and some who use photocopies. I understand
that Ross was working on a bestiary a few months ago, but haven't heard
anything recently.
=20
I have a copy of the source text of the bestiary used for the Unofficial
GMs Guide, scanned from the DQ II rulebook. I have tidied up the
scanning errors and reformatted it slightly to make it easier to read.
It is available in PDF (for using), or in Word (for criticising).
=20
Ditto the Demons / ArchAngels.=20
=20
In both cases, I've made a couple of changes as it was primarily
intended for my own use. If people actually want to use these copies, I
have a list of the changes, and they can be reversed easily if the
changes aren't desirable.Most of the changes are - tidied the
aspect/magic summary table, added human & shapechanger, updated
halfling, added half a dozen mammals (mainly adventuring creatures -
rhinos and wolverines, not sheep & walrus), and gave Horses MD like the
rest of the hooved mammals. I've also restructured vampire & dragon with
no intention of changing their meaning, to make them easier to read.
=20
Happy to email them to people. If someone is keen, I can send them the
PDFs to post on a web site. Stephen? Mandos? Anyone? Or is this also
copyright stuff?
=20
Collectively, the bestiary and demon guide are 1.1 Mb.
=20
Have a great weekend.
