Talk:Role-playing bestiary

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think the name of this article would be more descriptive and useful as fantasy bestiary. The creatures have more to do with the fantasy setting of certain RPGs than the fact that it is a role-playing environment. Then it could cover these very same critters that appear in all the other media for presenting fantasy settings, not just D&D ;-). --Mrwojo

A fair amount of this data is reproduced at Monster, and at mythical beast as well; perhaps these articles should be combined? -- IHCOYC

Ah, that would probably be a good idea. What should it be called then? I was thinking that supernatural creature might be a good name for the combined article. Any better names? --Mrwojo

That, or perhaps legendary creature. Monster seems to have the greatest number of links, and is the most generic term, but doesn't really cover pixies and unicorns. Mythical beast isn't really spot-on for creatures like Godzilla. Role-playing bestiary will have to cover invented creatures like mimics and grey oozes that were invented specifically for games. == IHCOYC

SC or LC would be fine with me. I was going through the same thought process you described. --Mrwojo
