2/3 Funded! Monster of the Day #10
almost 3 years ago – Mon, May 08, 2023 at 02:56:49 PM

Happy Monday! We're 2/3 of the way with 17 days to go! Feel free to join us on our new Discord server: Cawood Publishing Discord Server

You Meet in a Tavern

Monsters of the Dungeon will have a party of adventurers, one for each type of dungeon. Each hero will feature in a full-page action scene like the one with the paladin and blabberblubs on the main Kickstarter page.

Monster of the Day #10

Arcane Dragon

This is a unique dragon! It's a shapeshifter and a spellcaster! Arcane dragons usually take over dungeons from wizards and can rival any spellcaster's powers.

There are many well-known dragons in the game. We have made a bunch for the Monsters series. What are your favorites? Comment below

Creation Story - The Queen of the Giants from Monsters of the Underworld

This time we asked Travis the artist if he was familiar with the singer Pat Benatar and her 80s look. We also told him that the monster was a badass giantess with an enormous sword. This is what he came up with.

Monster of the Day #9
almost 3 years ago – Sat, May 06, 2023 at 04:14:03 PM

Hello generous backers! We have just reached the $20000 CAD mark! Over 350 backers have joined us with about three weeks to go.

Today we highlight another monster that isn't in the Arcane Dungeons chapter (free downloadable booklet on the main Kickstarter page).

Monster of the Day #9

Statue of Limitations

This elemental is another creature that can hide in plain sight. It can attack with its fists (we will change that attack) and it's hard to get past. The Statue of Limitations is a perfect monster to guard an area or block the party's advance. Of course, you could alter its appearance to suit your adventure.

There are many well-known elementals in the game like gargoyles and genies. What are your favorites? Comment below

Creation Story - The Wererabbit from Monsters of Feyland

We're going to bring you a series of stories about how our monsters were created. After we pass on the description of a creature, Travis Hanson does his magic. In this case, we wanted a creature similar to the famous White Rabbit but with a twist. We knew we wanted a lycanthrope messenger and a nervous one at that. Travis came up with this illustration along with a necklace of hourglasses and torn clothes.

Monster of the Day #8
almost 3 years ago – Fri, May 05, 2023 at 03:33:38 PM

Greetings! We're 60% of the way with 20 days to go! If you have a moment, check out the free download of the first chapter on the main Kickstarter page. Today we highlight a monster that's not in that Arcane Dungeons chapter.

Making Progress!

We're much further along with the manuscript for the book than the other books in the series. At this point, we're already editing and formatting the document. Of course, the book could be larger if we get the Stretch Goals!

Monster of the Day #8

Swarm of Chessmen

Our heroes enter a manor's dungeon and all seems quiet. Without warning, nearby chess pieces animate and attack! These tiny aberrations will definitely surprise your players.

There are a lot of famous aberrations like the beholder and the mind flayer. What are your favorites? Comment below

Monster of the Day #7
almost 3 years ago – Thu, May 04, 2023 at 03:56:35 PM

Happy Thursday! A warm welcome to the new backers. At 6pm PST/9pm EST tonight we'll be three weeks from the finish line! We're almost 60% of the way.

Monster of the Day #7

Tarak the Half-Ogre

He's the star of our cover! Tarak is a chaotic neutral half-ogre and the most famous of miners. He carries a magical lantern called Brightskull that can locate the closest precious stones. Tarak is often hired to lead dwarves, gnomes, and even orcs in mining operations.

Even though Tarak is categorized as a giant, he's more of a humanoid. What humanoids do you like to use in your dungeons? Comment below
