[Clockwork Gnome Publishing] Finwicket's Chronicles: The Swarmnomicon

[Allen Taliesin]

Clockwork Gnome Publishing is proud to announce the latest addition to our Campaign Cogs line.

Finwicket's Chronicles
The Swarmnomicon
Forty Swarms for your Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Campaigns!

Esteemed gnomish explorer and natural philosopher Professor Thaddeus Finwicket has traveled far and wide, documenting creatures from every corner of the globe. Now his canny eye turns to the most unexpected of subjects, the swarm! As always, the good professor tackles the topic with his signature insight, revealing a host of creatures certain to inspire new respect for the swarm in the minds of adventurers everywhere.

Finwicket's Chronicles: The Swarmnomicon contains:

Forty individual swarms that range from CR 1 to 20, including such terrors as the razorleaf swarm, filament swarm, swarmic infiltrator, gibbering swarm, glyph swarm, and the dreaded puppy swarm.

A good mix of both deadly threats and unique obstacles present intriguing challenges for adventuring parties of all kinds.

Each swarm is accompanied by a small encounter designed to showcase their special traits.

Here is a brief overview of just five of the swarms featured in Finwicket's Chronicles: The Swarmnomicon. Additional features will appear in the coming months, so keep your eyes open for sneak peeks of the other 35 swarms that crawl between the covers of this unique project.

Entropy Swarm— Wild magic given life, the entropy swarm invokes random (and usually unwanted) changes to all it touches.

Ferromite Swarm— Disastrous creatures which typically infest rust monsters, ferromites gain the rusting properties of their hosts.

Filament Swarm— This deadly swarm pierces most material as if it were mere paper and causes horrific, bleeding wounds.

Gibbering Swarm— Rumored to be a spore-like spray from a gibbering mouther, this swarm inflicts madness wherever it roams. 
 
Resin Swarm— Composed of tiny insects which secrete a strong tar-like substance, this swarm creates plenty of sticky situations for its victims.

Sounds awesome! I was a big fan of the first Finwicket's Bestiary, and I eagerly await this volume.

The bunny or kitten swarm must be the CR20 swarm.

Thank you! There will be another Finwicket book as well, Beyond the Faerie Path, which will release a number of months after this one. It is a sequel to Along the Faerie Path that focuses on a few faerie dominions and the Ancient Ones. There will be new creatures in there as well.

There will be a puppy swarm, though not a CR 20 one. :) The idea of being killed by a CR 20 swarm of bunnies amuses me greatly.

Nice! I love swarms, and I love Taig's work on them. I look forward to this one =)
