Big New Dragon also has produced some intriguing generators like the D30 Sandbox Companion. This is on our Buy Soon list, and from we've been able to see, it should be on yours as well. Check out their blog Save vs Dragon while you're at it.

Forge Some Monsters Challenge: Done

Not all that long ago, Noisms posted a challenge to fellow RPG-bloggers to use the random creature name generator over at the Forge and stat-up whatever monsters we got from the thing. The post for Noisms challenge is here. The random generator in question -- the Beast Forge -- is here.


We received the names Queen Lobster, Wall Horse, Frozen Giant, and Sharp Boar from the Beast Forge.

You can find each of these four new monsters statted-up for Swords & Wizardry (White Box) by clicking the following links:

• Queen Lobster
• Wall Horse
• Frozen Giant
• Sharp Boar

The Forge looks like a very handy tool. We might do another set of monsters inspired by this particular random generator. This was a fun challenge.
