Monster Man
A show about monsters, because monsters are great.
Episodes
This first episode of Monster Man just talks a little about who I am and what my deal is. It's really just here so you can add the show to your podcatchers.
In this episode, we start on the actual monsters of the 1977 1st edition AD&D Monster Manual, beginning with the kind of underwhelming Aerial Servant.
In this episode, we close out the A chapter with some animal enemies.
With our first letter out of the way, we get into some odd ones, in this episode that features yet another primate, a prehistoric herbivore, and the King of the Lizards ... or something.
Some regular animals, some unusual animals, and a sci-fi magic supervillain grotesque!
Ecology, mythology, game ideas and bitter, bitter disappointment in this episode of Monster Man. Find out which of these B-monsters James considers a tragic disappointment.
We look in on some more classic D&D monsters, including our first mook humanoid, the Bugbear. Also: the history of making monsters from toys! And what is ... the tragedy of the Owlbear?
Let me tell you of the days of high adventure, when at any moment you might find yourself coming to grips with a deadly ... er ... camel.
It's not all camels, though: this episode also features the Carrion Crawler, Catoblepas, Cattle, Wild, and Centaur!
We've got some good ones this episode! From the leg-crawling horror of the Centipede, comma, Giant, to the animal mashup of the Chimera, the faint familiarity of the Cockatrice, and the Mesoamerican mystery of the Couatl, it's weird creatures all the way down in this episode of Monster Man.
Things get nasty at the water's edge as we close out the C chapter. We've got Giant Crabs, we've got Crocodiles, and we've got the deadly Giant Crayfish!
Well, they can't all be winners.
It's our most metal episode yet as we hit up the Monster Manual section on the powers of darkness! Some of the powers of darkness, anyway. The powers of a certain type of darkness!
The metal continues with the Devils section of the Monster Manual! With fly-cow-dudes, gorilla-armed dudes and not one but TWO classic Vincent Price roles.
It's a special birthday episode, guest-starring my lovely wife! In this episode, we offer a definitive final answer to the question of which is the best dinosaur!
Let's tackle some miscellaneous D creatures with this entry on the Displacer Beast, Djinni, Dog, Dolphin, and Doppelganger!
The big name in fantasy monsters gets the Monster Man treatment! Plus: an announcement for an upcoming special event!
In this episode we finish up the D-chapter with some miscellaneous monsters including the fearsome Dragon Turtle! Plus, I answer some listener mail.
And don't forget, the Monster Man contest has begun!
Take to the skies or maybe the forest leaf mould with the Eagle, Giant, the Ear Seeker, the Eel and the Efreeti!
And don't forget the Monster Man contest is still going on and you have just under three weeks to make yourself a monster and score a big pile of great prizes!
Earth! Fire! Wind! Water! That's it, actually! By our powers combined ... I talk about elementals for 10 minutes or so! Also there is the elephant, who is pretty great.
And don't forget that the Monster Man contest is still going on!
In this episode, I do my best to figure out how I can make elves fun -- but I'm going to need your help! Also I talk about some other oddball monsters, including the Ettin, Floating Eye and Eye of the Deep!
We clean up the F section in this episode, featuring the Flightless Bird, the Frog, Giant, and the Fungi, Violet!
And don't forget that there's over a week left in the Monster Man contest!
