>"Quantum creatures"
what are some examples of those from different game systems?

quantum creatures are not system specific, nor restricted to being creatures.

isn't that already an example? imagine a dnd-party encountering a monster that shapeshifts between different systems through quantum powers

Consider the Photino Birds from Xeelee.

So they're really small, like a water bear? What are these? How do you stat something like that?

I /think/ it's in reference to Quantum Orgres, which is essentially the old DMing method of putting the same thing down different paths. Go down left path, Ogre. Go down right path, Ogre. Go north, the sorcerer's tower. Go south, the sorcerer's tower. And so on.

I don't understand the question in the OP.

He means shit like displacer beast.
God damn.

A dragon that is also a chicken, from Fire Emblem 6

Suppose that a GM is running a campaign.
In this campaign, an ogre king is assembling a great ogre army to create an ogre empire, all unbeknownst to the authorities of the land.
The people have, however, noticed the sudden increase in ogre appearances, as well as ogres with greater arms and armor than normal.
The party has just left a town where they heard the news, and comes to a fork in the road.
The GM knows that the party must come into contact with an ogre soldier, who is a courier for the ogre king
This encounter is necessary for the entire campaign to happen, so to make the campaign able to happen, the ogre soldier will appear on whichever path the party chooses
>party chooses left road
>ogre soldier is on left road
>party chooses right road
>ogre soldier is on left road
If one looks at the situation in the same way some interpretation of quantum physics looks at schrodinger's cat, the ogre soldier is simultaneously on both paths.

TL;DR it's a softer form of railroading that happens because the campaign is about a particular thing, dammit.
not to say that more sandboxy campaigns are meritless, but that shit's way more advanced than a good chunk of gms can handle, and takes way more prep work than a more module-like campaign

Now I want to play some sort of quantum bullshittery campaign.

>Looking back, they see the 'first' ogre soldier looking incredulously to their direction, at the 'second' ogre soldier, as if it's perplexed by this

>Or just kill both
>Or return to the path they came from, but there's a third quantum clone of the ogre soldier standing guard and trying to deny the situation
>Or maybe trundle through the bushes, choosing neither of the paths, only to stumble upon the ogre soldier crying
