Inside this preview PDF you'll find complete entries with gorgeous illustrations for some of the dozens of fantastic creatures inside the Aventyr Bestiary!
- Eldritch Steam Mephit The final treatment of the eldritch template!
- Exsanguinator the Daemon A creature so foul its kin imprisoned it!
- Totem Golem You have never seen the likes of the golems we've got in the Aventyr Bestiary and this one is a prime example of that.
- HEL Behir What could be worse than a behir? One with the HEL template!
- Skildpadder A dwarven-bred giant tortoise-bullette that you WILL put into your games after seeing. It's just that good.
- Dark Scion Template We're keeping all the other ones sort of under wraps, but are releasing this crazy fun build so you can wreck immediate havoc on your players. :D
How big is the bestiary going to be and when do you expect it?
Thanks Rusty Ironpants!
We're actually expecting to be done earlier than that. As it is we were sitting on a book we wanted prettier artwork for, and now we're adding things onto it; I have 3 monsters to build yet (2 two of which are chosen by backers!!!) but the other several dozen I've edited and developed are either in the process of layout now or queued for it.
I would like to tell you exactly how big the book is, but boss has ultimate control of that number and it'll be shifting about until I'm looking at a PDF for final edits. I think that if monsters were bones, and I got hit by a car that broke half of my monsters, the remaining unbroken monsters would be about as many as we have in the book? But please don't hold me to that as again, I don't control that number.
It's a lot. There are a LOT of monsters in the book. Many, many monsters. There's been an art upgrade for quite a few of them as well and the sketches coming in from our illustrators are awesome. :D

If we hit all stretch goals we'll end up with 100+ monsters spanning 100-130 pages in length.
:D
We're climbing up through the stretch goals and the next is Brian Berg from TPK Games! There's a week left before the project is over if you haven't pledged yet!
