Well I'm sure a ridiculously ancient dragon will accomplish the same thing. After all, modders have been very VERY skimpy with dragons considering the title of this franchise.

I mourn your exit from life as a free man, not your modding career btw

Even if our modder is gone we should be able to make a dragon with no wings. With some scaling and tinting we should be able to make Mr. T.

It is about time for another e-mail roll-call and status update.

According to a Wiki page on the Tarrasque:

"The only monsters that are more feared in combat are deities, the largest and oldest dragons, certain powerful outsiders (such as demon lords) and epic monsters."

How about a dracolich?

How does a dracolich solve the problem of not having the model available?

Anyway I notice some gaps in the levels, as we expected. That's ok up to level 10 or so but realy wandering monsters shouldn't be just hanging out in the country side when they are above the average level of popular heros like Drizzt etc, so I will put some extra work in for gaps after level 12 or so I just want to see where everything falls in place and get my own modules out that are promised as well.

Btw if everyone can start checking the forum again that would be great, I am going to post my click - float text system there ( like infinity descriptions) and I'll be looking for other people's systems there like the rogue attack AI, and I believe there is a trigger-flavor text system in use that I want to make sure I am using as well.

Anyone ready to test or be tested as well I will put the wedding module up pretty quick since its smaller.

A Dragon would be a good stand in. there are Three dragons that live in  and around the mountains surrounding the Turmish lands. Also there is a very old and powerful Lich that lives under the capitol (Algahon)

Taken from sourcebook 9520

Orsraun Mountains
The largest mountain range in the Reach, the Orsrauns are a well-known abode for all sorts of evil creatures, ranging from the common nuisances of orcs and goblins to the monstrous variety of red dragons. It is a wild place,
virtually untouched by the civilized lands of Turmish.  Two dragons are known to live within the rugged mountains. The first, Emberspeak, is an adult red dragon that, so far, has been content with raiding caravans and such in the Shining Plains.  The second is Anglaspark, a child of the blue wyrm Anaglathos who ruled Turmish more than 100 years ago.

The Winterwood
The Winterwood a dangerous place to visit. South of the Wintercloak river is much more hospitable, but rumors persist of a green dragon by the name of Foilsunder lairing 20 miles or so south of the Wintercloak river.

Algahon
During the time of Anaglathos, the blue dragon allowed a lich queen from Unther to reside below the
palace. When Anaglathos died during the revolution, the lich queen continued to live quietly below the city.
She cast a spell on the child when she found him wandering around her domain, sending him back to the surface
so she could see through his eyes. The spell finally consumed the lad, but the lich queen did get a glimpse of
the surface world again (in which she had only passing interest)

Hmm. It'd be sad either to do away with Mr T or to give him an inferior model, but I lean towards thinking the latter is the lesser of the evils - the story wouldn't quite be the same, otherwise.

I agree. it wont be the same without T., but if a standin in required a Dragon makes a good option.

I was lookign at the Blue dragon model. If a modeler were to remove the wings and horns a retextured Blue wouild make a good stand in (Sorry im busy)

I think a Dire Boar reskined with reptilain skin and rescaled to something like 60, 30, 40 would make a good Tarrasque substitute.  I don't know if it's easier to clip the wings off a dragon model or reskin the dire boar model.

That is a very clever idea.  Very clever indeed.  I think this is something that should be explored.

Reskinning the boar would be 1000x easier for someone to do.  OCuld you take a pic of a boar scaled to those dimensions, I would love to see it.

Incidentally, if the module does not have a tarasque then can it have this load screen?

Look at that underbite! Someone needs some braces!

[Hellfire_RWS]

He could bite the front and back of a sandwich at the same time!

[nicethugbert]

The scaling left to right, front to back is 30-15-10, 60-30-20, 30-15-20, 60-30-40.

But imagine if it were sporting dragon skin pajamas.

If the boar had horns instead of tusks, it could work, but that would need some modelling. Basically it looks like someone's going to have to do some if we want to keep Mr T in - it doesn't have to be grade A from-scratch work, though, since I reckon you could use the dragon or the boar as a base.

Failing that, I can only suggest that the module does indeed remain about Mr. T... at least until you realise it isn't (*spoilers*).

NEAT!

[Shaughn78]

The thing to look at for in models is the skeleton opposed to the the specifics of the model. If we are reskinning, or able to find someone who can do a bit of modeling having the most appropriate animation will be more important than tusk vs horns or upper vs lower bite.

[Eguintir Eligard]

I used to be able to model modify in 3ds when my work had it, but I just never understood how to fix the texture mesh afterward. Regardless, I don't think we need to have this sorted right now. Everyone's been pretty much dragging their heels on their own entries, so I think we can still look for a modeller or even a re-texturer for a while yet. None of my modules will make a reference to the plot or the final beast, so for me at least, you can sub anything you want at any time. I do know for sure it's much easier to get someone to re-texture if you ask in the CC forum, but asking for a model even after all this time results in crickets. I just don't think it has to be yes or no in 2 weeks or less. There's more time.

But failing all that I'm with Chaos on getting a big OLE dragon in there.

Probably not a popular option but are we early enought to drop the Tarrasque and go with a dragon as the chief protagonist. Using one of the RWS aforementioned named beasties as our basis.

An artefact may still be needed to slay the bugger. The dragon may well bepowerful enough to take down a town as per our opening concept. It could easily be intelligent enough to try to oppose the reconstruction of the artefact and the druidic order may well be in the dragon camp for one reason or another?

Or perhaps, as I did many many times as a table top DM, am I just matching the monsters I use to the white metal figures I happen to have in the box under the table
