This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Looking for OSR Bestiary

I'm looking for a good OSR bestiary for Godbound, any suggestions?
If you like to talk about roleplaying games, check Daystar Chronicles, my tabletop RPG blog, for reviews and homebrew.

Someone (Possibly Kevin Crawford himself) suggested Rafael Chandler's Teratic Tome as a useful bestiary for Godbound.  I just ordered a copy from Lulu (coupon LULURC for 25% off and free shipping might still work).

This was a cool site, until it became an echo chamber for whiners screeching about how the "Evul SJWs are TAKING OVAH!!!" every time any RPG book included a non-"traditional" NPC or concept, or their MAGA peeners got in a twist. You're in luck, drama queens: the Taliban is hiring.

I'm not familiar with details of Godbound, so disregard this, if it contradicts the setting.

Anyway: if you don't mind working with numbers, here's something you can use as a source of inspiration...

I hope this helps.

My favorite OSR Bestiary is James Raggi's Random Esoteric Creature Generator.
