Opale Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 Hey Folks Been all mystical GMing those days, I tossed my group into a DEMON campaign type. Starting fresh using an angler and some quantic time slipping story, I realize that there are not alot of horrors that can be used as a center of my stories (in horror/mystical campaigns, monsters ARE the story in my humble opinion) So I gathered up tons of comics pictures that could be those edomites creatures, and I'd like to know if some of you would be nice enough to help me build nasty creatures to oppose my PCs. So anyone up to ? in advance, thanks Madness-Tendril-loving-Opale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assault Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 I'm sure someone has a copy of the 4e book, Champions in 3D. Not that it's necessarily the last work in superheroic horror... but yeah. There was also a scenario published in Different Worlds back in the day: The Star-Devourer. Not presented as a horror scenario, but involving an "unstoppable" Lovecraftian horror. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 Pursuant to assault's suggestion, Allen Varney's classic "Anopheles" menagerie of Lovecraftian horrors from Ci3D -- in fact that entire adventure -- are freely available from his personal website: http://www.allenvarney.com/anopheles.html . They work really well as Edomites, although their stats are for 4E HERO, and the website includes no pictures. Still on the 4E front, I have access to half-a-dozen Edomite/Qliphothic monsters from The Ultimate Super Mage and The Super Mage Bestiary, long unavailable for sale. If that would be of interest to you, PM me and I'll see if I can set you up with them. I would also be remiss if I didn't mention Steve Long's PDF mini-book, Tatterdemalion Terrors, with 6E stats for five more monsters from the Qliphoth, available from this website's online store for a mere $1.00 US: http://www.herogames.com/forums/store/product/538-tatterdemalion-terrors-pdf/ .

Lucius Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 I created this when someone wanted a "world ending beast." I consider it one of my more useless write ups; if you actually need the character sheet the Beast is manifest, and you can probably write off that planet. This is less a monster to be defeated, more of a calamity to be prevented.

Slouching towards Bethlehem, all slots Only In Alternate ( Identity; -¼) Notes: These Powers operate in the Beast's normal "Slouching" mode and drop when provoked into "Vast image" mode. 86 1) The best lack all conviction: (Total: 150 Active Cost, 86 Real Cost) Desolidification , Area Of Effect (4m Radius; +¼), Personal Immunity (+¼), Persistent (+¼), Reduced Endurance (0 END; +½), Usable As Attack (+¾), Grantor can only grant the power to others, MegaScale (1m = 1 km; +1), Cannot alter scale (-¼) (150 Active Points); Always On (-½), Only In Alternate ( Identity; -¼) (Real Cost: 86) 0 Notes: Everyone and everything within four km of the Beast becomes insubstantial. Note that this creates an "eye of the storm" effect where certain Powers of the Beast can't effect someone that close. 206 2) Things fall apart: (Total: 257 Active Cost, 206 Real Cost) Takes No STUN (loses abilities when takes BODY), Area Of Effect (4m Radius; +¼), Persistent (+¼), Usable As Attack (+¾), Grantor can only grant the power to others, Indirect (Source Point can vary from use to use, path can change with every use; +1), MegaScale (1m = 100 km; +1 ½), Cannot alter scale (-¼) (202 Active Points); Only In Alternate ( Identity; -¼) (Real Cost: 162) plus Killing Attack - Ranged 1d6-1, Area Of Effect (4m Radius; +¼), Personal Immunity (+¼), Damage Over Time, Target's defenses only apply once, Lock out (cannot be applied multiple times) (33-64 damage increments, damage occurs every 6 Hours, +½), Reduced Endurance (0 END; +½), Variable Special Effects (Any SFX, apparently at random; +½), Indirect (Source Point can vary from use to use, path can change with every use; +1), MegaScale (1m = 100 km; +1 ½) (55 Active Points); Only In Alternate ( Identity; -¼) (Real Cost: 44) 0 Notes: Everyone and everything within 400 km becomes immune to being stunned or knocked out, but will lose one of: 1 pt SPD, 10 pts STR, one sense, one Power, whenever taking BOD damage. Those with Longevity: Immortal are immune to this effect and continue to take STUN as normal. Also everyone and everything within 400 km begins taking 1dd6-1 BOD damage every 6 hrs for 2 weeks, and defenses only apply once. Leaving the area, or the Beast moving out of the area, does not stop the damage, but destroying the Beast or the Beast moving to another dimensional continuum would.

For example, a pedestrian may see a street much like the street that's really there - but not see the traffic. 27 4) Blood dimmed tide is loosed: (Total: 75 Active Cost, 27 Real Cost) Mental Illusions 2d6, Area Of Effect (8m Radius Explosion; +¼), Invisible Power Effects (Invisible to Mental Group; +¼), Constant (+½), Reduced Endurance (0 END; +½), Damage Over Time, Target's defenses only apply once, Lock out (cannot be applied multiple times) (17-32 damage increments, damage occurs every 1 Hour, +1), Indirect (Source Point can vary from use to use, path can change with every use; +1), Cumulative (96 points; +1 ¼), MegaScale (1m = 1,000 km; +1 ¾) (75 Active Points); No Conscious Control (Only Effects cannot be controlled; -1), No Range (-½), Only In Alternate ( Identity; -¼) (Real Cost: 27) 0 Notes: Inflicts hallucinations on everyone within 8,000 km; roll 2d6 Mental Illusiohns every hour for 24 hrs, Mental Defense only applies once.

Things fall apart; the center cannot hold Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world The blood dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned. Personality/Motivation: The best lack all conviciton, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. Quote: The Rough Beast does not speak, nor think, although it can induce terrifying auditory hallucinations. Powers/Tactics: When it awakens, is summoned, or otherwise first manifests, all sight, hearing, mental, and radio senses within 10,000 km cease to operate while still giving the impression of functioning normally. Mostly this will mean percieving either what they expect to be there, a repeating loop of what has just been experienced, what actually is there to be percieved, or a repeating loop of what has just been experienced. Everything within 4 km Deolidifies, not that anyone notices as the Beast strides through obstacles as if they were so much smoke, beginning its pilgrimmage of desolation. Between 4 and 400 km from the Beast, all things acquire the Automaton Power of Takes No Stun, and cannot be knocked out or stunned; they will however lose abilities each time they take BOD damage. And in the same area, all things begin to take 1d6-1 Killing damage every 6 hrs, and defenses only help once; this damage could be from accident, plague, mysteriously appearing monsters, etc. And then there are the hallucinations.... If anything manages to hurt it or restrain it, it will drop most of these effects revealing itself as a mountainous beast resembling a faceles sphynx emitting a terrible roar likely to knock down anyone hearing it, and strike out with a total of 100 STR. Being blind the Beast has little accuracy but with Megascale Area Effect doesn't NEED much accuracy. Campaign Use: The best way to deal with the Rough Beast is to stop whatever lunatic might be attempting to summon or awaken it. Failing that, there should be some way the player characters can learn of inducing it to resume its slumber for another 20 centuries or of banishing it elsewhere (the Extradimensional Movement is on Trigger with a "Misfire" potential for a reason) - although the latter creates a moral issue in that it may mean making the Beast some other world's problem to deal with. Appearance: Somewhere in sands of the desert A shape with lion's body and the head of a man A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun Is moving its slow thighs while all about Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds. The darkness drops again; but now I know That twenty centuries of stony sleep Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle The poem "The Second Coming" by W. B. Yeats.

Lord Liaden Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 Actually, Lucius just reminded me that Steve Perrin once freely posted to these forums an old Champions/V&V/Superworld mini-adventure he wrote for Different Worlds magazine, called "The Star-Devourer.." It involved cultists summoning a gigantic Lovecraftian horror, inspired by the Dhole created by H.P. Lovecraft. It includes the (pretty straight forward) plot, stats for the monster and cultists (in pre-4E HERO System, as well as V&V and Superworld), a couple of illustrations, even a map of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge (although the adventure can easily be adapted to most other cities).

DShomshak Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 Somebody remembers The Supermage Bestiary? I barely remember the Supermage Bestiary. And I wrote it. If you're willing to put in more work, the ultimate source for Lovecraftian monsters is of course Chaosium's Call of Cthulhu game. But it will be a lot of work, since the source game system does not translate directly into Hero System terms. I wrote up several way back when, though I don't recall ever using them in play.

There's much cool material in both that I've been able to make use of over the years, which was never reprinted.

Lawnmower Boy Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 My offering is the Belly Bottom Boys, a seniors street gang. They're the usual lot of the scooter, wheelchair, shopping buggy, cane and skipoles-enabled, semi-demented, questionably hyigienical old people that you can encounter at your average supermarket built underneath a massive high rise full of seniors housing. I had them terrorising Babylon from their base in the Rookeries, but they don't have to be tied to that setting. I also, unfortunately, didn't write them up. But you have your gadgeteer bag lady, your walker-armed martial artist, your scooter-driving-transformer-pilot, your . . . Well, after Cloaca, I decide not to go down that route, but, if you do, I have one phrase for you: "colostomy bag." If you don't, an energy projector with a projectile vomiting effect is probably more palatable. There's just something creepy and qliphotic about weaponising the decrepitude of old age.

Will tend to attack the brightest, fastest, or noisiest thing around. (Very Common; Strong)25 Enraged: Berserk Any perceptible motion (Very Common), go 8-, recover 14-Total Disadvantage Points: 85Background/History: Appearing and vanishing apparently at random, The Crone of Cold has been compared to that other abomination, The Monster. Sometimes she seems to appear near super powerful beings as if she were their shadow, but it is not known if she is "hunting" them per se. She is as likely to attack villains as heroes. In fact, will often attack vehicles, fires, or any other source of kinetic or radiant energy.Personality/Motivation: She will appear and usually attack immediately, sometimes wasting time and leaving herself vulnerable by chasing the fasting moving person or object. Besides anything that moves, she seems to hate anything bright, hot, noisy, or radioactive.Quote: None. She may not be able to speak and usually moves in eerie silence.Powers/Tactics: Usually prefers Freezing Touch. Does not usually attack to kill (may not understand the concepts "life," "death," and "kill") but rather seems to want to try to make everything stop moving. If nothing in the immediate vicinity is in motion, she often becomes still and statuelike herself, especially if the surroundings are suitably cold, dark or dim, and silent. If she's ever happy, it's then.Appearance: A blue skinned hag with colorless hair, clad in black, with dead white eyes without pupil or iris.Lucius AlexanderCopyright Palindromedary Enterprises Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DShomshak Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Another good other-game-system source for nifty/horrific monsters is Creatures of the Night, for GURPS, from Steve Jackson Games. Not to be confused with Creatures of the Night: Horror Enemies, written by Yours Truly for HERO 4th ed. And they came out at the same time. I don't know whether it's better or worse that the GURPS book is really good. These are some of the most original creatures I've ever seen.

Matt the Bruins Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 I'm assuming if you used an Angler, you have access to Arcane Enemies with Dean's work on the Kings of Edom and associated creatures? I'll second the recommendation for the Super Mage Bestiary. The Ravens of Dispersion have always been one of my favorite Hero Games menaces, though they're actually antagonists of the Edomites.

Opale Posted November 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 Well, I now got the Super Mage Bestiary available, and indeed I own the Arcane Adversaries book aswell. My Need is in fact to grow up the so called Bestiary in order to get horror creatures that my PCs CAN actually fight. AS a spin axe, the Angler has been attracted by the Awakening of Cloaca (See DEMON), and he somehow "warps" the reality, permitting other creatures to enter the Campaign City World (Vibora Bay). Other evil like Tapan Arkwright and stuff will appear, but gradually in the story. I'm relatively good story teller, but not so good with building opponents, so ^^ Anyway thanks to all for the help !
