As for sleep, I suspect Duck-Foot has Modified Circadian Rythyms...when he crashes, he crashes, but when he's on burn-the-midnight-oil adrenaline, watch out....

With all this awesomeness I'm surprised no one brought forth this challenge already:

Vampyroteuthis infernalis
The infamous 'Vampire Squid from Hell', among the oddest of our world's critters.

Here's a few handy links. A couple just for the extra pictures. :ok:

Hmmm...traits one would have to include: Inversion Defense(spiked/spined limb undersides), bioluminesence organs, and bioluminesence 'fog decoy' defense....

Looks like it could be a fun one....

I would like to see a write up of the Charcaradon Megalodon (SP?): The Infamous Prehistoric Mega Tooth Shark. Which was longer than a full size school bus! :eek:

A Great White on Titan Jucier steroids. It fed on huge whales (like the Blue Whale) and died out probbably 2,000,000 to 1,000,000 years ago.

Done them, but haven't posted. Not sure if I want to use them as a Rifter submission. Still need to doublecheck them and decide if I'm done.

I'd be interested in seeing a conversion of all the mutants in Transdimensional TMNT. (all on one page would rule)(note: sorry if they all have been done already)

Big Red · Unread post by **Big Red** » Tue Jun 05, 2007 6:42 pm

Several appeared in the Rifter 23, and most of the others have been covered on here. I did the Thylodon and mutant humans from the time travel adventures in the back of the book, and I think duck-foot has done Hyaenodon, Megatherion, and possibly something else (not sure without double-checking). I think there are only 3-4 left that haven't been done. The only one I can think of off the top of my head, though, is the Glyptodon, which is on my to-do-somewhat-soon list (maybe I'll bump it up and post it in the next couple days).

I recently received a reply from Kevin in regards to AtB material in the Rifter I wanted to share with you [duck-foot] and anyone else who's been working on AtB material:

Kevin Siembieda wrote:We are dying for AtB fan material as well as short fiction and sourcematerial for ALL our RPG lines.

I have been wondering if fans have forgotten that the main purpose of The Rifter® is to be a place where FANS can submit adventures, villains, monsters, short stories and source material, and see it (and their name) in print...

<snip>

So please, please, please spread the word and let other fans know we them to submit their stories and sourcematerial for AtB...for consideration in The Rifter!

Seriously, we could use source material and short fiction for AtB...

Duckfoot, You are a one man (or duck) source book.

And You did Hyeanadon, my fave mutant from TransDTMNT.
And you did the cool marsupial saber-tooth, which was really good too.

But has anyone done a 'regular' smilodon fatalis, the 'saber-toothed cat'?
Looked around, didn't find (but that could be just bad search engine luck).

If it's been posted, I would appreciate a link. If it's been in a book (probably those out of print rifters!!), could you steer me in the right direction. And if it hasn't been done yet, then maybe, if you get some time....

Rathorc Lemenger · Thu Jan 17, 2008 10:57 am

Well, here's some for you DuckFoot-Sama:
Archaeopteryx (a type of feathered Dinosaur).
Plesiosaur (an ocean-going prehistoric Reptile; both the Long-necked and short-necked species).
Ichthyosaur (another ocean-going prehistoric Reptile).
Faries (similar to the ones from the farie tales).
Butterflies & Caterpillars.
Moths.
Well, those are all the ones that I can think of for now. If you could try to do them (especially the 2 prehistoric Repitiles since no one that I know of did any of them) it would be much appreciated.

Bear-like dogs

Smilodons and their marsupial counter-parts

Rathorc Lemenger · Fri Jan 18, 2008 9:25 am

I'm sorry, Mephisto-Sama *bows with sweeping arm gestures*, but I just had to ask... and I figured that Duck Foot-Sama could do them up. If you want to take a crack at them in order to aleveate some of the stress upon Duck Foot-Sama, I'm pretty sure that he'd breath a big ol' sigh of relief. Although, now that I have had time to think of things, does anyone remember the Griffen that's posted on here?? Why is it that it didn't have anything written in the "Looks" section of the stats?

Well, that's my thoughts for now.

Rathorc Lemenger · Tue Jan 22, 2008 10:00 am

Ummm, *scratches head in confusion* this might sound like a stupid question and all but, for the Unicorn Stats that's on the board here. Wouldn't it have made more sense for the creature to have been a chimera between a Narwhale and a Horse instead of a Horse and Rhino??? Especially since the Narwhale has the spirel horn while the Rhino doesn't?

Also, what are the looks for the Penguins? None of the stat blocks say what they are.

Also If your wondering about some of my requests (namely the Butterfly, Moth and Fairie) it was on the part of one of my players that I requsted it (namely my sister).

Especially since the Narwhale has the spirel horn while the Rhino doesn't?

that was one of mine, i think. the "white horse with spiral horn" look is popular, but i was trying for a more "real" look for the animal. with the idea that the gene-engineers looked for the most obvious solution to making a unicorn. (remember, a narwal's "horn" is a tusk, a modified tooth. if one of those starts growing through the forehead of a horse, it usually would mean the horse dies of brain damage...)

the original unicorn description is of a singularly ugly beast, more rhino and bison like than horse.

Also, what are the looks for the Penguins? None of the stat blocks say what they are.

i think those were also mine, i just copied the entry from rifter 17(?), with modifications for size and stats. you should be able to do a google search for each of the penguin species and find pics of the unmutated looks. mutated looks would be in the same vein as other mutant birds.

Rathorc Lemenger · Thu Feb 14, 2008 2:42 pm

Thanx for the mutant Butterfly/Moth Stats Duck-Foot-Sama *bows deeply*. Now I won't have to worry about my sister trying to kill me with her unusual collection (and interests) of everything Butterfly *shivers in dread*. Now, all that's needed to keep my sanity is the other stats. Although, if you don't mind me adding, wouldn't it have been a bit more easier to put a "Extra P.B." in there some place (due to the colorful wings and such)?? and maybe have it so that it could be chosen twice or more (maybe limited to 4 times)???

Rathorc Lemenger · Fri Feb 22, 2008 11:29 am

I have another question for you Duck-Foot-sama about the Bio-E (I'm not being picky or anything): Why did you write that 50 Bio-E has to be spent on Size Levels (especially since you combined the Fairie and Butterfly/Moth request into 1 thing)? I can understand the spending of MAYBE 20 Bio-E (since fairies are said to be small creatures about under a foot in height). But other than that and the previous point that I made, I don't really have any complaints. Also I'm glad (and I'm pretty sure that everyone agrees with this comment) that your doing this and creating the mutants.

I figure this one should be a tough one (you know, figuring out how to rationalize the granting of wishes in AtB, but maybe they are just hallucinations or something)

Sounds like a fish with an improved Mind Trap. Make a wish and become trapped in a (no save?) Mind Trap where you live out your wish. That wouldn't be too hard to make. Or maybe the mind trap is an extended duration waking hallucination? Which ever, it sounds like an interesting idea for an adventure hook.
