We’ve finalized the game systems we’ll use for the creature cards in our Creature and Encounter Cards Kickstarter. The game systems will be:
- Pathfinder
- Labyrinth Lord (1E Fantasy)
- FATE (sample coming soon)
- Dungeon World
- Plus, we’ll create all the cards with system neutral info (like an ecology or knowledge check information).
- And there will be a version of each card with blank backs.
(Samples for most of the above are linked from the Kickstarter page.)
Each of those systems will have 5 different decks of 54 cards each (plus a cover card and license card). Each deck is focused on a couple of different creature types:
- Aberrations, Dragons, & Magical Beasts
- Undead & Constructs & Outsiders
- Humanoids & Fey
- Monstrous Humanoids, Lycanthropes, Oozes, Plants, Dire/Were Animals & Vermin
- Animals
If you pledge for all 5 creature decks, we’ll include a full page print of several of the monsters together. It is perfect for the pocket in a binder front cover.
In addition to the creature cards, the Kickstarter also offers cards that make random encounters more interesting. Each card of the two 54 card decks has an encounter outline on one side and a map and other information on the other side. Draw a card for an outline and another card for a map and another for a twist and so on.
The cards are $15 for the first deck and $12 for each extra. However, if you get 7 or more decks you can get them for $11 each with the “Any 7 Decks” reward. If you want 8 or 9 decks (see below for more decks to add) just add $11 each.
Other rewards:
- The card decks are available as PDFs if you prefer. (You automatically get the PDF for any physical deck you pick.)
- There is a PDF of 350+ creatures as print-them-yourself paper minis.
- You can also pick the DungeonMorph Cards as one of your physical card decks. They are 90 2.5″x2.5″ cards with connectable dungeon designs on each. The card back is a mirror of the front.
- You can also pick our Monster Stand-Ins pre-printed cards as one of your physical card decks. They are 100 4″x3″ cards with between one and nine monsters on each (depending on the creature’s size.) It comes with a pack of 16 plastic stands.
- Finally, most of the art is available as stock art for other publishers. Check the project page for details.
Just posted an update of what's going on with the project including sample art for our Intellect Devourer. Funding ends Feb 2.

This art (by Eric Quigley) is a free letter-size print for anyone backing for 5+ physical card decks. (Great for a binder cover.)
We've also added 2 Monster Coloring Book PDFs using the line art from the project, just because it was a fun idea. Free to backers who pick up 7+ physical decks or $3 each added to any other pledge.
