I Need a Monster for My Next Solo Horror, So I Built One...

 


Today I decided to crack open the GURPS Monsters book and show how I build a monster for a game I am running.

In this video, I walk through the process of creating an original horror monster from scratch using GURPS Monsters and the GURPS 3rd Edition Basic Set. Rather than simply building a stat block, we start with a concept, define what makes the creature frightening, choose its strengths and weaknesses, and then translate those ideas into GURPS game mechanics.

I found the process enjoyable and its a lot of fun to create monsters and give them reasons to exist, other then just numbers on a page.
