Should we use such broad categories? Or specifics? I mean A werewolf =/= werecrocodile, and Gold Dragon =/= Prismatic Dragon.. Plotting

I think for dragons we could likely break it up into Chromatic and Prismatic
For Lycanthropes... ?  I don't really know.

Alternatively, we could have each individual monster from within the group be nominated.
Or perhaps have a group representative.

Caryatid Column, because nothing is funnier than making the PC be sweating every time you say that the room has pillars...

Perhaps we need to set a cutoff point...

The first x monsters that are nominated and seconded get a slot on the list?

I like Black dragons. I dislike Red. So I'd vote for individuals, but I'm up for being outvoted. Who else thinks they should be by type, subdivision, or individual?

I don't think we need seconded yet. That'll just flood the thread. Maybe we can say the first 100? or 50? I like a larger pool, or maybe we can cutoff the first 100 submissions and randomly select 50 of them? I'm open to ideas.

I'm up for individual.

I'd recommend identifying where the monsters are from (for those of us without eidetic memories) Big Grin

Good call. I have that type of memory, so don't worry about it during nominations. I'll put references when the game actually starts.

So all you dragon lovers, choose some dragons.

There is no such thing as accutual eidetic memory, it's a myth kind of like Area 51, it exist, but it's nothing like what people thing it is.

Thanks for that completely on-topic post Rolls Eyes

So would you like to nominate a monster?
I've added all the ones so far, I believe. I'm nominating Zerns, too.
