Not to mention a very large chunk of the actual book is monsters already.
tbh, i haven’t looked at the book in awhile. i tried to get my local group into it but it was too different from the OSR stuff we usually play.
iirc, the main book didn’t a lot of monster art though did it?
Yeah no art, just descriptions, tags impulses, moves etc.. Most of the monsters are pretty common fantasy creatures though, so finding a picture on the internet should be easy.
Actually there’s no descriptions either, if you don’t already knom what the monsters are the DW book won’t help you.
There’s minor descriptions. Some are better than others. I added Aboleth into my game, summoned by a wizard’s tower they were pissed. One of my player’s asked what it was, and recognised them from D&D. The description was sufficient enough for his understanding.
Michael Walsh that was my point, your friend already knew the monster, but if this was the first time he heard of Aboleth then there was no real description.
Monsters, like a lot of DW, are leading questions.
Konrad Zielinski My point is that >I< had never heard of Aboleth, but the DW book was sufficient for me to accurately portray them.
No, there’s something better.
