This is almost a complete list I have to go find which sizes are missing for lthings like Animated objects, Elementals, Skeletons and Zomibes are missing, I will get around to it in a day or too.

Yet again, it shows how bad the design for region A was. When there were so many animals, monsters and vermin available no monster needed to be repeated.

I would like to know if any GM has added these creatures to their adventrues and if so to post them here in WLD room format.

I have decided I am going to use them as Event or Random Encoutners rather than in specific rooms within my game but if you do have a room it would be cool. Though I may add the animals to my Region A encoutners

Once creature I could not find was the Phase spider? Am I just nuts or is this creature actually missing?

*Edit: Enworld is down so I will link this later

** Edit: A mutated orca and a fiendish orca apear in the WLD

[Rich]

It is true that certain things are not in the WLD due to the fact that AEG could only include “Every Creature in the SRD” since some stuff is copyright Wizards and thus has to be left out of any OGL product by law.

So possibly Phase Spider is one of them?!?

As for adding extras it can ceratinly add variation to the slightly dull areas: area A and the many many darkmantles. I added some stuff with the portals as it seemed logical.

Look forward to seeing what people come up with.

Is the Tarrasque really somewhere in the WLD, as Hal hinted (joked?)?

[Rich]

*LOOK MORE SPOILERY GOODNESS*

Yup The Mighty Tarrasque is indeed in the dungeon, had to be for AEG to keep there promise!

And not as late on as you’d think 😀 😉

[Quillion]

No Phase Spider is in the SRD, I am tinking this is one of those they considered as we have spiders we don’t need phase spiders (though I disagree)

Here is a creature I intend to use as a random encounter in the Region A.

A Fiendish Miniture Triceratops, has also escaped from the extradimensional prision, it has to follow in the wake of other fiendish creatures who can open doors, formally a herbivore it’s fiendish nature has transformed it into an omnivore and placed it in a constant state of hostility. It has recently caught the scent of the PC’s and is following them.

[Quillion]

The origins of this wyrmling are lost in the 5,000 year history of the dungeon, most believe the egg was kept in stasis for some reason, but now Takhonath Hellfrang is free, Free to grow into a terrible engine of destruction.

[Nyarlathotep]

Doh! If only I had these stat blocks when my group was running through region A! Ah well, I’ll just have to use it if they ever backtrack to region A to get to E… although I suspect they will end up running through region F and getting totally lost in the Maze.

Have you started running your group through WLD yet Quillion? If so how far have they made it into the dungeon?

[Quillion]

“Doh! If only I had these stat blocks when my group was running through region A! Ah well, I’ll just have to use it if they ever backtrack to region A to get to E… “

If you want I can easily use my stat calculator to make a good CR equal to the party, just let me know if you want to use one of them.

“although I suspect they will end up running through region F and getting totally lost in the Maze.”

Yeah, that is going to be entertaining to map, I have one player who is all about mapping out the dungeon, (I considering offering some bonus exp per new room mapped, though I am also considering action points)

“Have you started running your group through WLD yet Quillion?”

Now we just finsihed with Banewarrens, so my first WLD game will be on not this tuesday but the following tuesday (I only game every other tuesday, due to work and other concerns)

I have set it in a northern part of the realms, north of the Citadel of the Raven, in a namless section of mountains.

The party will be evil and will start out in a dungeons of Zhentil keep, they are set to be executed. They are offered a pardon by three different Npc’s if they agree to the job. One is Manshoon the other is Fzoul and the Last is a custom NPC I have who has been just been granted a Count-Palintine over the northern reaches by Fzoul but not the power to enforce his rule.

Longtail is a renegade Zhentirium and former apprentice to Manshoon.

-Manshoon’s plan is to clone the party and have their clones executed in thier place (the clones will also allow for the return of dead party members) Manshoon wants Longtail punished and to find out why his apprentice betrayed him.

-Fzoul’s plan is if they refuse everyone elses offer he will geas them into complying, Fzoul is concered about Omens from Bane that thier is a threat to the north that could destory the Citadel of the Raven.

-The Count-Palintine of the North is an akashic from Monte Cook’s Arcana Evolved, he knows the history of the WLD and that is why he sought and excepted the posistion he is atttempting to use the party to create allies for himself, his abiltiy makes for unique encoutners and communication. as he can create memories of himself with the PC’s mind.

We will see which path they take.

[Wellard]

I have decided to place the WLD in the Wilderlands of High Fantasy(soon to be available from NG) somewhere to the west of the far fabled City State of the Invincible Overlord. To make things even more interesting the characters will have to start out as NPC classes(Warrior,Expert etc) as they are the survivors of a raid on their village by Longtail. This should keep the power level of the party comensurate with AEGs suggested advancement rate whilst giving them a greater challenge

[Quillion]

This creature is a stragler in the raiding of Region A, since it cannot open and close doors on it’s own.
