The term 'adorable' does not do this book justice

5/5

The Baby Bestiary Handbook, Volume 1 is not your average 'fluff' book when it comes to TRPGs. It's setting-neutral, and even system-neutral, as it endeavors to explain the relationship one can cultivate as a player with a baby monster. After all, after muderhobo-ing the adults, who's gonna take care of the little children?

And this book doesn't take the well-known goblin-baby-predicament approach, not at all. It emphasizes the creatures' inbred attitudes, and stages of development. It talks about each creatures' needs, for both its healthy development and your own survival/continued association.

And when it does, it knocks it out of the ballpark. Not only are the descriptions as informative as they can be in a system-neutral setting, but they simply ooze with flavor and potential quest hooks (especially in the case of the gelatinous cube).

And did I mention the art? Ah yes, the art. What you see on the cover? Be prepared for more "awwwww"s and "SQUEEEEEE"s from the inside art. Who knew baby rakshasas were so cute? And I definitely want to raise a bulette in a campaign of mine now.

In conclusion, if you like baby beasties, and you want details on how to integrate them in your campaign? Buy this book. Now. Your players and GMs will love you for it. And even if they somehow don't, you'll love it yourself.
