A Month-Long Survey of Bestiaries


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion

I thought some of the folks on these messageboards might be interested in checking out my blog, "The Poison Pie Publishing House", where for the month of June, we are high-lighting a different published bestiary for each day of the month. Today, June 14, we added the first Pathfinder entry to the survey. More are sure to follow. The link to the blog is here:

Well, we posted an entry on a different bestiary for every day of the month of June, as originally planned. These entries are drawn from all over, including the Pathfinder universe. The June entries are here: http://tinyurl.com/golthbt

The blog proved sufficiently popular that we are continuing it for the month of July. As it is July 2, we have added the second entry today. The July entries are here: http://tinyurl.com/jtuygjy

If you have a little bit of time and you like bestiaries, you may enjoy these blog entries.

We posted an entry for a different bestiary for every day of June and July (61 books) but we still have more bestiaries on the shelves, so we are continuing our survey through August.

Seems rather light on content. Am I missing something?

As part of our survey of bestiaries, we posted an entry for a different bestiary for every day of June (30), July (31) and August (31) for a grand total of 92 bestiaries. We still have more bestiaries on the shelves, so we decided to post eight more entries for the first eight days of September to round out the total at a neat 100.

The link to the first entry of September is here.

Enjoy.


I'll give you this, you aren't using clickbait. I'll check it out when I'm not about to pass out for that alone.

There are 100 days from June 1 to September 8. Everyday for each of those hundred days we looked at a different bestiary and uploaded a short entry into our "Survey of One Hundred Bestiaries". We included the cover, some publishing info, a graphic for one creature from each bestiary and an excerpt of the text corresponding to the creature. The purpose was to give a flavor for the kind of content in each bestiary.

So we did it--one hundred bestiaries. I remember when the Pathfinder Bestiary 5 came out, someone on these forums asked, "Do we really need five bestiaries?" Of course, the answer is, "We need at least one hundred!"

We have collected the links to all one hundred bestiaries on this page:

A Survey of 100 Bestiaries at the Poison Pie Publishing House.

For the record, only two of the bestiaries featured in this survey are products of the Poison Pie Publishing House.

Enjoy.

p.s. There are a few more bestiaries of which we are fond but which we did not yet include in the survey. We plan to add more entries as late additions on a more intermittent schedule.

I posted reviews of two of my favorite Pathfinder RPG books that I encountered in the year 2017. One is from 2017 and the other one is a few years old but is relevant again because of the current release of the Ruins of Azlant Adventure Path.

Underworld Races & Classes (Adventure-A-Week Games, 2017)

Cerulean Seas: Beasts of the Boundless Blue (Alluria Publishing, 2013)

The staff at the Poison Pie Publishing House have continued to update their "Survey of One Hundred Bestiaries". Since the first hundred or so entries, they have added a new bestiary for every weekend in 2017 and 2018. The survey recently surpassed 200 entries, exploring texts published between the thirteenth and twenty-first century. Bibliophiles beware! There are hours to be squandered in perusing the variety of approaches to creating a bestiary (in a totally ad-free environment). The link is here:
