Hi! I'm going to be writing an article (hopefully more than one) for Dragon/Dungeon magazine's new "Creature Catalog" feature.

I was looking for ideas on themes for such an article. What regions, organizations, secret places, etc do you think would make the best basis for an article focusing on monsters associated with said item?

Are you planning on writing your Creature Catalog article on Mystara/Known World monsters? If so, you have my support! :D

i'm looking for ideas, and Mystara is one of the places i'm looking for them, yes.

i was considering the monsters from Castle Amber, for one...

Hi Boz!

I didnt reply to this thread right away, because I wasn't really sure what you were looking for. Castle Amber would be a great theme. Or possibly, a Creatures of Glantri for instance would be great for a collection of weird monsters.

Actually each of the Mystara Known World countries would be interesting as individual themes for a monster type article. Also, the PC series would offer some opportunity, like the Creatures of the Sunlit Sea (PC2), Creatures of Serraine, the Flying City (PC3) or creatures of the Dreamlands (PC1).

I would love to see all of these in print!

Hi Boz,

I too would like to see some Mystaran creature articles.

One idea would be converting the Mystaran Gem Dragons which are rather different to the psionics using ones from MMII (and perhaps the Dragon Rulers.
