               Instead of what I had said, before; I finally have decided participate. because I have found a creture, which looks quite funny, and not too hard for make; the "AUTOGNOME".





Also, I can see potencial for this creature beyond my skills. For example, Their own animations, more mechanical and robotic than, the one used by organic humanoids. Perhaps their own set of sounds; Or scrips that give to them a change of malfunction, like a sudden death by an explosion; been out of fuel, or turn against their master suddenly....
Because of that I would like to invite to any other builder, who wish to work with me, in orther to improve the autognome.....

               @Shemsu-Heru If the Giff and the Neogi are the ones I remember, there are a couple of problems with them. The Giff I have seen previously is 3e Disneyfied version with a head that is way too big. The Neogi that I have seen previously was just a Giant Spider with a darker re-skin - it was missing the Moray Eel head and neck. Actually, as far as I am concerned there is another problem with the ccp and that is you *must* to have CEP included in the custom content list of your module because instead of developing textures of their own, they used some textures contained in the cep.

               Those are both better than the things I saw on the vault although I do think the Neogi could be improved upon [warning entering crawler mode] by the talent on here [end excessive flattery] and that Giff needs to go on a diet as they are supposed to have muscular chest not a paunch.

               @Tarot Redhand:
CCP neogi is based on their 3Ed aparence .

I had made a giff head for half-orcs, from the CCP giff soldier in the animals challnege; Perhaps you can use it and half-orcs to make your own dynamic giffs

               The CCP neogi isn't a bad start, really.  Turn the existing body/neck/head into a couple of nice skinmeshes, use the existing parts as non-rendering bones, maybe add some rigging/cloth/jewelry/tattoos...plenty of potential for that fella.  I don't know what the animations look like, since I haven't had a use for the model yet (the gods of my gameworld keep spelljammers from landing on the planet).

Then copy it, resize and distort much of it, change a few other things, and you get a great old master...that's what they're called when they get old and are turned, by their fellow neogi, into hosts for up to 40 parasitic young neogi that eventually eat their way out of the bloated old one.

You could also base it off the one from the 2nd edition Monstrous Manual, which is closer to the original description...more like a wolf spider combined with an eel, including some of the tattoos that they were described as being marked with.  There's a picture posted by Tarot Redhand in the "inspiration" thread.

               Hellboy's Neogi is very good for a 3e non-skin version. Props! '>
But I'm thinking a proper skinned 2e version would be nice to have for those not-so-nice encounters 



Ciao!

Before there can be pirates, there must be commerce. Before there can be commerce, there must be ships of trade.

I'll be working on a set of large placeable deck levels for use with the previously suggested, but still not declared general purpose invisible free-walk, multi-level tileset =)

I'll start with a conversion of Silverblade's Tradesman



Topdeck will be at 5m, fore & stern deck will be at 7.5m, assuming raise/lower of 2.5m in the GP FW ML tileset ;-)

Edit: Note, as a life-long sailor, I will be changing the flag to *not* show the ship sailing gaily directly into the phlogiston ;-) Always bugged me how so many wind powered ships are portrayed with bellowing sails charging right into the teeth of a gale. /end pet peeve

Stop the press!

While I still plan to do the modular and flexible placeable ships for tactical level Spelljamming, I've just put that on hold for this month.

Hellfire has rediscovered never released source files for the Arcane Space v1.5 project and I am collaborating with him to release a new, updated version with new, never seen before, models and various other tweaks.

I am *very* excited about this!
