Description:

Looking to instill a little fear in your game? Then look no further!

Nothing brings the thrill – and terror – of discovery to a game like new monsters. Faced with the unknown, mighty-thewed heroes tremble in their hauberks, wizened wizards fumble with their spell books, and even the most audacious of rogues hesitate before plunging into battle.

Nevermore worry that your players have memorized every monster’s stat, power and weakness. Nevermore resort to tired fantasy clichés, and worn out monsters fought a thousand times before. The Random Esoteric Creature Generator ensures that each monster your PCs cross is unique, unexpected, and best of all – unknown. With an unlimited number of horrific combinations, this is the last monster book you will ever need.

Bring terror back to the table with the Random Esoteric Creature Generator!

Rules Set: Systems-neutral, designed to be used with any RPG

Reviews

Dragonsfoot Review: "In the end, TRECG accomplishes the goal of providing a vehicle for creating creatures never see by your players. It is much more than Appendix D on steroids, as I am sure some will consider it. At a minimum, the material is a laundry list of attributes that can be added to existing creatures for more flavor. At it's best, you can use it to create brand new creatures, to inspire you to expand your game world."

I won't bother singing this product's praises, you only have to google it to find almost universal praise. It is simply an excellent book. I do however want to give Goodman Games some feedback on the pdf version. Every interior page has a grey background. [...]

This little publication has become a staple in my gaming. I agree completely with all the positive comments by the other three reviewers, so I will not repeat them. I will say that, beyond the core rule books, few items I have purchased have had such a [...]

My only real complaint is that the product was very obviously designed for use with D&D (as evidenced by the dicussion of monsters in terms of Armor Class, Hit Dice, Alignment, Character Levels, etc) and then sold as a supplement for use with any system. [...]

This was a blast to use. I've only used it once so far but it certainly knocked the cocky back on their heels! Good reactions so far.
