The Adamant Entertainment site has announced “Monster Maker,” a monster design kit for 4e.  Adamant explains that they’re putting the Monster Maker out because “the monster design guidelines in the core rulebooks state openly that they’re only an approximation — gamers have described those rules as ‘rough’ at best and ‘crudely unbalanced’ at worst… Monster Maker is a design kit for creating monsters in 4e. Instead of creating inconsistent and unbalanced encounters where players are repeatedly missing and getting pounded upon by foes who consistently hit and dodge incoming attacks, these optional rules are for Game Masters who want more exciting and faster-paced monsters for their players to fight.”

Monster Maker is item ADM2014 priced at $2.00US at the time of this writing.
