Monster Index
So I stumbled across this monster conversion thread. It made me think someone should make an Echohawk like list of monsters for Gamma World. So I've given it a start with Gamma World Monsters. It only includes Machines and Monsters and Dragon #98 so far. I intend to add Metamorphosis Alpha and Mutant Future but I'm going to concentrate on Gamma World material first. I'm not sure about how much information I should give for each creature. Gamma World has had a lot of different rule systems so I'm not sure what would be useful for Gamma World fans.

Re: Monster Index
Thanks for doing this. I don't play GW, so I'm not sure what would need to be in there, but maybe if you can give an example of the various stat blocs, people can comment on what a GM most needs to know about each set of stats.

Re: Monster Index
I'd say what you've got going is probably the most useful sort of list; a collection of creatures with their name(s), source (rules system and reference), and type.
A brief description of the creature might also be useful, and I'd break the "Entry" field down a bit more specifically into types (ie, Mutated Human, Mutated Animal, Android, Robot, etc.) which might come in very handy when sorting and looking for specific creatures.

Re: Monster Index
Well I decided to not to dwell on columns at the moment. Instead I've been entering information as best I can. I got the core rule books, some modules and all the dragon magazines.

Re: Monster Index
I just bumped into this topic again, and pinged a link to Echohawk.
How is this project coming on?
Are there many Gamma World sources you have missing?

Re: Monster Index
All Gamma World material is done I believe. Metamorphosis Alpha is missing because I don't have all the editions and supplements. Actually I haven't indexed the newer material from Goodman Games that I do have for MA.

Re: Monster Index
Do you need a hand searching for some of the books?
Are you planning to do that at some point? Or is it outside the scope of what you want to achive?

Re: Monster Index
Just need more time to support all the hobbies I have. (I did a new lego girallon and phantom fungus that I need to upload. Working on adding the battle system to my Color Monster game for the TinyArcade. Plan on starting a Starfinder game and need to arrange time to run Tomb of Annihilation for the kids.) I would like to include all MA products in my index. It already has the Metamorphosis Alpha to Omega in the index.
