What'll be in the NEXT Bonus Bestiary?


Product Discussion


So I was just checking out my downloads over at DriveThruRPG.com to see if I had already purchased Tome of Horrors Rev., when I realized that in only 4 months, FREE RPG DAY will be upon us again.

Went over to the website, to check things out to see if I might want to take the day (Saturday, JUNE 19th) off from work. Low and behold they've already got a list of SOME of the things, included in the boxes like another, BONUS BESTIARY. So... what might we see in this?

Great catch, Madness Follows ! So, Bonus Bestiary II ? Is it going to be a preview of Bestiary II stuff, or monsters that didn't make the cut, or perhaps hippogriffs and camels ? ;-)

If it follows last year's pattern, it will be a new group of monsters which won't be published in Bestiary II but will highlight some of the new features introduced in Bestiary II.

I'm not sure where they're getting their info... but it's not accurate. I don't believe we've yet announced what our free RPG day product will be... it DID just ship to the printer though, so there'll be something! It won't be a bonus bestiary though.

The date of Free RPG day is kind of a bummer though, since it looks like it falls right in the middle of PaizoCon!

Any chance the goods folks at Paizo might have copies of their Free RPG Day offering there at the Con?

'Re-animation of the Kobold King'? ;)

I was really, REALLY hoping for 'Bonus Bestiary vol. 2', but since that's not possible, I hope it's an adventure... you can never have too many adventures!


Oooo.. Oooo... Bonus racial traits and feats handbook?

I'm hoping for stuff that got cut from the Advanced Player's Guide for space reasons.

Yeah, extra stuff that didn't make it to GMG or APG would be really cool, too! :)

We've actually got a pretty good handle on this and I don't suspect there'll be much cutting room floor material at all. In fact, the cutting room floor stuff is VERY likely to be just plain bad, and not something that we'll ever want to pick up OFF the floor.

After all... having too much content and having to cut it is inefficient and makes us more work. This is a big project, so we've been pretty careful to make sure we're ordering and writing (and thus only have to edit and develop) what's going in the book.

I suspect there's an EXCELLENT chance of that... but I can't say for sure.

I'm sure that no store in Italy will participate, but hopefully Paizo will offer the mysterious item for sale on the website, as they did in the previous years. :-)
