Add depth to your 5th Edition monsters with cultural details, combat tactics, a huge variety of new stat blocks, and much more!
Just a quick heads up, we will be going live at 10:30 AM PST to show off some art and answer your questions!
See you then!

Howdy All,
After 281 of you cast your vote we came up with 3 clear front runners and assigned them dollar amounts:
$30,000 Playable Races - You want to play as an orc? We've got you covered. We will include the necessary information to build a playable character as the races in the book, roleplaying information to suggest why you may have chosen the adventuring life, and sketch artwork.
$32,500 Encounter Tables - We know you all like your tables. Each chapter will contain a selection of encounter groups for a variety of challenge ratings.
$35,000 Lair Tables - Let's talk home decor. Each chapter will include a table to determine culturally appropriate details to add flavor to a settlement controlled by the race.
Thank you for your votes! Please continue to share the project everywhere!

w00t! We've passed 500 Backers! We are also rapidly approaching our $25,000 stretch goal! This means we need everyone to weigh in on the next set of stretch goals using our straw poll. Please follow this link if you have not already cast your vote:

Keep up the good work sharing the project with your friends!

w00t! We've passed our $20,000 stretch goal and our momentum has increased from yesterday. Full Color Artwork is now unlocked which means our art department is stoked! Now it's on to Tribes at $25,000. Remember, each of these stretch goals is designed to add more to this book and make it an even better resource. We will achieve all of our stretch goals as long as we keep up the momentum and continue sharing the project with the world. This is especially important during the middle two weeks of the project which we call the "doldrums" when most projects see the least amount of daily funding.
That being said, it's time to cast our votes on the next 3 stretch goals! We will pick the top 3 when we get closer to $25,000, so cast your vote now!

Happy Gaming!

As the sun sets and we retire to our sitting rooms to contemplate on how we might challenge our players in the next game session, we also check the stats!
Currently we sit at just under $16,000 which is only $4,000 away from our next stretch goal! We made quick work of Beast of the Horde at $10,000 and we have no doubt we will smash through Full Color Artwork soon enough.
A big thank you to those of you who weighed in on our Straw Poll. We know you all enjoy having some say in the order in which we pass our stretch goals. We will put out another one when we get close to the $25,000 mark.
Also a huge thank you to everyone! Your support says a lot and your habitual sharing of the project is what will get it funded beyond what we ever thought possible! Keep in mind that the better we do on these projects, the faster we can produce more books. We promise to keep them around the same price point and at the highest quality in both page/binding material and content.
There are already several more Bestiaries in the works, and many of you already know about the future NPC books. We have other books in development that we can't talk about, as well as a whole series of adventure books that we are eager to show you. As stated before, the better we do on each of these projects, the faster we can produce each of the books in our lineup and the faster they will be in your hands!
Please continue to share the project across social media sites, blogs, and forums. We are advertising like mad, but also trying not to be too spammy. Your help is greatly appreciated!
Happy Gaming!
-Chris
