The Final Week of Battlezoo Bestiary and the RPG Superstar 2021 Launch!

Wednesday, September 29, 2021

The Battlezoo Bestiary Kickstarter has been a massive success to date, including three huge books not only fully compatible with Pathfinder Second Edition but all developed by some of the most trusted Paizo names.

But we are in our final week, with the Kickstarter ending this Friday, October 1st, so make sure you join in on the fun before it’s too late! Not only will you get all three books at a massive discount, but you’ll receive them before anyone else. In fact, the Battlezoo Bestiary and Monster Parts System PDF will be available to all who order it from the Kickstarter this October! Check what you get:

  • The Battlezoo Bestiary hardcover book features 114 winning monster entries from the 2020 RPG Superstar contest, all edited by Patrick Renie.
  • The new Monster Parts System allows players to slay monsters and then turn those monsters into custom gear that levels up with the character, written by Mark Seifter.
  • The new Monster Mage (Azure Mage) and Vestige Hunter (Monster Hunter) archetypes allow you to steal those monster powers and use them yourself, written by Mark Seifter.
  • The new Dragon Ancestries book details how you can play a Dragon PC, including 44 different playable Dragons, written by Mark Seifter.
  • The new three-book Jewel of the Indigo Isles Adventure Path for characters level 1–11, featuring monsters from the Battlezoo Bestiary, and utilizing the new Monster Parts system, written by Patrick Renie, Ron Lundeen, and Linda Zayas-Palmer.

Plus, we just achieved many new stretch goals, all of which were just added to the Kickstarter, including:

  • Forty-four new pages of lore (and pictures) of every playable dragon we just added to Battlezoo Ancestires: Dragons by Mark Seifter.
  • New physical minis were added, including the g’mauyn pirate thief, the wildfire leshy fighter, the gold dragon cleric, the galtzagorri sorcerer, and many more.
  • Five new “wild” dragons – amber, cerulean, harlequin, indigo, vermillion – presented as both monsters and new playable ancestries.
  • Multiple new playable ancestries include the Orpok (pig-people), the Chochori (coral-people), the Hardriggan (ram-people), and many more.
  • Several new archetypes include the Draconic Mage, Draconic Fighter, a new pirate archetype, and many more.
  • New custom familiars by Linda Zayas-Palmer, including the wildfire leshy, shale hatchling, seafoam spirit, mechanical parrot, and embersap ooze!
  • A cloth treasure map is available to those at the top tiers.
  • An overview of the religious paradigm in the Battlezoo universe known as The Balance, outlining both the new system and several of its gods.
  • And any more!

Now combine that with the monster parts system. "Yeah, I've got big pile of bodies in a hole. It gives me power. Still LG though."
