1d6 Adventurers Monster Compendium

[Maasq]

The group known as 1d6 Adventurers have been putting out NPCs for over a year on Reddit's 'Monster A Day' forum. With their permission, I have collected these NPCs and used NPC Engineer to create a Fantasy Grounds bestiary. To date, there are getting on for 400 NPCs in it. I will update once a week with the new monsters for as long as they keep writing them and post a brief summary here.

Many of the NPCs have artwork, and the FG module has a reference manual section for easier browsing. I hope you all find it useful. Any issues with the NPCs themselves should be addressed to the 1d6 Adventurers (links below), and any module issues to me.

The module can be downloaded from the NPC Engineer website (www.masq.net), and is (of course) free of charge.

Totally awesome. Any idea what the license is on these? i.e. are they released under the OGL or?

Any idea what the license is on these? i.e. are they released under the OGL or?

I have no idea is the short answer. I'll ask the 1d6A guys, but I think my answer will be along the lines of 'we haven't thought about that'.

All the NPCs are freely available on the 'Monster-a-Day' Reddit, and when I asked for permission to do this, their only concerns were that I didn't charge for the package and that I linked back to their reddit.

It is worth noting that this isn't every NPC from MaD - it is only the NPCs that 1d6A designed.

Cool, thanks, I've looked around the thread, but haven't found anything either yet. I'm guess they would probably want it either the OGL or CC-SA licenses, but that's up to them.

I get the impression most people on Reddit think everything should be free and don't realize that just because they publish/post it there other people can't use it without permission.

[LordEntrails]

I posted on the sub-reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/monsteraday/comments/8nlz1x/mad_licensing/

If you ask for and receive permission you do not require a formal license. Permission is permission regardless of how it was granted.

Could a mod move this to the Armory forum? I made it in the wrong place, I think. Thank you!

FINAL UPDATE (for now) as the Adventurers are taking a break.

Week 100: Our last [Monster]s for a little while.
Monster
Aristocrab - Mod your fantasy game with posh crabs.
Shadow Fey Slaver - Chains and whips excite them.
Pea Shooters - Garden warfare.
Flaemer - Burn in hell.
Beholdataur - Macho macho monstrosity.

100 weeks, 500 days of monsters, almost 600 monsters (go figure?) plus extra content. We hope you like this weeks entries, and look forward to hearing what you think!

We’ve decided that this is a good time for us to take a break from posting a monster-a-day. Lives are busy and time is tight, making it difficult to find the time to write monsters, and turning it into more of a chore than something we can enjoy right now. We hope we won’t be gone for long, and appreciate the support and engagement we’ve had on UnearthedArcana, especially from u/Phylea, who has been an invaluable learning tool who we haven’t and can’t thank enough.

See you soon,

u/1d6Adventurers

Thanks for the great product! I have it and use it. Recently the various blood critters had my players very challenged with the unique AoE group heals and non-attack sources of damage. Those made a very memorable encounter.

I'm challenged to use all the pun critters since I tend to aim for Horror in most of my games, but I did run a one-off and used a bunch of the cat creatures (avocado, catomaton, etc) with a crazy cat lady hermit. It was awesome.

I also have found some of the more chimeric critters to be fun for random things I stick in wizard labs or near areas of magical instability.

Anyway, thanks for all the fun monsters and I hope you enjoy the break!

Does this .Mod work with Unity? I dl'd it, unzipped it into the right folder, but, it won't come up in my library. Am I doing something wrong, or is this just not a Unity .mod.

Hiya. I left the community prior to the release of Unity, so it probably won't work. If someone wants to update it to work with Unity then they can do so with my blessing.

The guys who took over Engineer Suite and have their own version of it available my be able to help - I don't know.

Sorry!

Just try unzipping it and then rezip with Windows Send to Compressed File.

[Hussar]
