I read all of them.. pretty cool, you'd be surprised.. And the monsters (minotaurs, and medusa's are usuable for the game!

His name? Link......

Do you mean the D&D versions of Medusa's, minotaurs etc. or are you planning on creating new versions? I think D&D has used a lot of them already, apart from the ones mentioned above... But you could make your own creatures based on mythology.... you could also draw on different world mythologies.... maybe you could use Valkyries (Kiwiwdoc would sure love that http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif) in the game http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif
Skylla and Charybdis from greek myth also lends themselves well for incorporation in a game I think.... If you need more, I'm sure me and some other forum members could provide more of them.
Just brainstorming here...

BTW the ubercoolest monster you could ever think up would of course be the monstrous, grotesque, horrendous, gruesome..........<font color=plum><h1>FLUFFY!!http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif</h1></font>

sounds like a good story with the Mirror thing. Maybe a wolf or something could come up and bark at the hero... and if he continues to go the wrong way then the wolf comes back and barks again. and so on

I believe the Fluffy would be so scary that you might give players a heart attack http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Looking at Greek mythology is a good idea, but you might want to alter the creatures a bit (Like a Minotaur with snakes and a Medusa with horns. Yeah, right).
You could also get your creatures from a book called "De Heersers der Duisternis" in Dutch. I don't know the original name (it isn't mentioned in the book, but it would most likely be something like "The rulers of Darkness"). It is written by Tanith Lee and part of it describes daemon society.
You might be able to create a quest based on them (which would be set in the equivalent of the underdark).

And the Earthsea books are written by LeGuin (which I already said before on page five)

Yeah you might have a point there... Fluffy would just be too damn scary

Anyway nice to hear that you read Tanith Lee, she done some good stuff, quite prolific as well. I think the book you are referring to though is a collection of five separate ones...can't think of the titles off the top of my head...

If you include an underworld quest I'd still draw on mythology and give it a twist of your own imagination

Yes, it is a collection of five. Those titles are in the book (Night's Master, Death's Master, Delusion's Master, Delirium's Mistress and Night's Sorceries respectively). The weird thing is that the name of the entire collection isn't.
Personally, I always prefer to read all of the books of a single series in a row, so such collections are ideal for me http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

And then there's a question for Link. We've been typing for almost six pages now and I take it you are currently working hard on your game. Could you tell us what you need most now? (eg. monsters, quests, storyline)
