bigbywolfe Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 I'm reading through The Turakian Age which make reference to the 5E villains/monster book Monsters, Minions, and Marauders. I already have the 6E Bestiary and my understanding is much or most of the generic creatures from MMM made it into that book. My question,for anyone who may own both, is this: does MMM contain anything particularly useful that didn't make it into the 6E Bestiary that would make it worth picking up (specific villains for example)?I am also looking at Nobles, Knights, and Necromancers and wondering how well it fits with The Turakian Age. I know it includes some of Kal-Turak's lieutenants, but are the rest of the characters in NNN equally compatible with TA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesguy Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 The Nobles, Knights and Necromancers is full of master villains, organizations and solo villains that are definitely not in the Bestiary. The Monsters, Minions, and Marauders is at home. I will look at it tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuSoardGraphite Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Nobles, Knights and Necromancer is full of fully fleshed out NPCs ready to drop into your game, thus the book is invaluable for GMs running Turakian Age. It suffers from the same kind of characteristic nonsense as many earier champions characters do (all stats rounded to 15 or 20 or at break-points) but the NPCs themselves are all pretty interesting. (I personally like Thorgen Split-chin) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbywolfe Posted December 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Cool, thanks for the responses. What about MMM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 At least 25% of the creature write-ups in MMM -- all among the intelligent ones -- include a description of a notable individual from each species. Each description provides an individual's name, location/habitat, history, personality/motivation, any unusual details of appearance and equipment, and lists any modifications to the species' typical character sheet applying to that individual. As with the NPCs in Nobles, Knights, And Necromancers, the individual creatures in MMM are written to fit into the Turakian Age setting as their default.

NuSoardGraphite Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 I have yet to see the 6th edition beastiary, but i have been told that the creatures from MMM have been included, so that book is not strictly necessay if you already have the 6th edition beastiary.

bluesguy Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 I personally like Thorgen Split-chin He made an excellent villain in my Valdorian Age campaign as the leader of one of the last tribes of orcs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
