Reskinning is one of those things that multiplies what a GM has to use at the table. 300 monsters? No problem we can make that one book cover over 1000. All it takes is some change of description and some tweaking of stats. Much of it can be done at the table, but some of it requires some thought or research. Below are some of the articles I have written about the topic. First you will find my more recent articles which features ways to re-skin various things. Following that are some older, more explanatory (overly wordy on occasion) articles and examples from those.
