Apes for Labyrinth Lord!

Yes it is another Simian Saturday on the Green Skeleton Gaming Guild blog.  Unfortunately work and graduate school have reduced my gaming and gaming posts to nil.  I do have to share some cool posts I found this past week over on the Save vs. Dragon blog. 

Orangutan
Gorillas
Gibbons
Chimps

All worked up as playable races for BX/Labyrinth Lord!
 Very cool and I think just begging to be plopped into a Anomalous Subsurface Environment Campaign! 
Have a great Simian Saturday!

Star Trek meets Planet of the Apes!

 "Get your hands off me, you damn dirty Klingon!"
This could be interesting!

Hope everyone has a great Simian Saturday! 

Battle-Bones for D&D

I continue to be excited about the new edition of D&D.  I got the Starter Set a few days ago.  I'll abstain from the gratuitous unboxing post since those are all over the Net right now.  As much as I am looking forward to the official Player's Handbook, I think the Monster Manual is what I am most looking forward to getting into my hands.  I love creating monsters and this edition seems to be pretty easy to stat up beasts, just enough crunch but not too much.  Continuing my theme from last time of Gonzo kinda of stuff, I present Battle-Bones!

Battle-Bones

Huge undead, Neutral

AC: 14

Hit Points: 60 (7d10+21)

Speed: 40'

STR16(+3)   DEX 12(+1)  CON 16(+3)  INT 6(-2)  WIS 7(-2)  CHA 5 (-3)

Senses: Darkvision 100'

Languages: Understands Common

Multiattack: Battle-Bones makes one claw attack and one bite attack

Melee Attack- Bite +3 to hit (reach 10'; one creature). Hit 8 (1d10 +3) piercing damage

Melee Attack-Claw: +3 to hit (reach 5'; one creature) Hit: 6 (1d6+3) Slashing damage

Immunities: Battle-Bones is immune to disease and poison.  It cannot be frightened or put to sleep.  Battle-Bones does not need to sleep, eat or breathe.

Damage Vulnerabilities: Bludgeoning

The beasts rib-cage has been magically altered to allow a rider to ride "comfortably". Battle-Bones can transport up to 12 medium-sized humanoids without suffering any encumbrance or movement penalties. .

The product of necromantic magic, Battle-Bones is the animated skeleton of a huge reptile from a forgotten age that has been turned into an unrelenting tireless combat transport, that needs neither, food, water or rest. 

 Use of a handy "Speak with Dead" spell perhaps?
