Get ready to update your monster manual, gamers! Free League Publishing just pulled back the curtain on their newest loot drop: the Dragonbane Bestiary. This isn’t your grandpa’s list of mythical beasts. We’re talking about a jam-packed roster of 63 creatures that’ll make you rethink your fantasy RPG strategies.
What’s in the Bestiary Box?
The Dragonbane Bestiary isn’t just a collection of monsters; it’s a full-blown ecosystem, baby! It’s decked out with new playable kin, nine to be exact, each with its own set of unique skills. So, whether you’re into cat people or more of a chimera chaser, this Bestiary has got the goods. These critters come to life through detailed text and artwork, offering both a random encounter guide and adventure seeds to amp up your gaming sessions.
Who’s Behind the Brush?
Swedish artists Johan Egerkrans and David Brasgalla are the maestros behind the illustrations. Their work turns the full-color hardcover book into a masterpiece worthy of any Collector’s Edition. Speaking of which, there are two editions up for grabs: the standard one and a premium Collector’s Edition that boasts a faux leather cover and some blingin’ gold foil print.
Level-Up Your Battle Map
But wait, there’s more! Free League is also dishing out a complete Standee Set. These cardboard cut-outs of the Bestiary creatures are perfect for those who love moving their monsters around a battle map. Ready to be snatched separately, this Standee Set is your 3D route to an even more immersive Dragonbane experience.
Snag Immediate PDF Access on Pre-Order
The Dragonbane Bestiary and its Standee Set are already up for pre-order on Free League’s webstore. The sweetest part? Pre-ordering grants you instant access to the complete PDF, well ahead of its Q1 2024 release. The same deal goes for the hardback Dragonbane Rulebook, which also drops in standard and Collector’s Editions. This hardback version mirrors the softcover rulebook from the Dragonbane Core Set but comes with a bonus: an introductory adventure titled “The Castle of the Robber Knight.”
