Over 130 new horrific monsters to add to your 5th Edition game! More details, more options, more variations, more fun!
Greetings Adventurers!
Just a quick heads up that the latest Ultimate Bestiary book is now live on Kickstarter! Please check it out and share it with your friends!
Happy gaming!

The game is afoot, my dear backers!
A mangled body has been discovered in the town square, and it is up to you to work out the perpetrator as tensions rise. Can you unravel the mystery? Find out in Shadow War - you should have already received an email with instructions on how to claim your copy (or you can login and check your Backerkit).
As mentioned before, a murder mystery is new territory for us. It's been an absolute pleasure putting it together, and we're so excited to finally get to share it. Hope you all enjoy and, as always, let us know how it goes!
And, if you're as in love with Felix Miall's artwork from the adventure as we are, you can check out his other stuff here, and even pick up some original art from the adventure in his store!
Additionally, in case you missed it, our latest Kickstarter project - The Oracle Story Generator is now available to preorder. This is a series of tarot-sized decks with card types that can be assembled to create unique stories to act as quest hooks, or even as a writing aid for non-gamers. Check it out!
Don't let the vamps bite,
Ralph and Lou
Evening all!
Just dropping a quick update to let you know that we are live at the moment talking to Mr.Tarrasque and JVC Parry about their new Kickstarter, Isle of the Dreaded Accursed! The two of them have combined monsters from Ultimate Bestiary with their own fiendish ideas - head on over to the stream to hear all about it!

About the Project
Isle of the Dreaded Accursed is a brand new, original adventure for D&D 5th Edition written by the D&D reviewer Mr.Tarrasque and best-selling author JVC Parry, known for his campaign Call from the Deep. Isle of the Dreaded Accursed is a collaboration with Nord Games, and uses content from their amazing Ultimate Bestiary: The Dreaded Accursed to populate an island with terrifying undead - the result of an evil sea goddesses wrath.
Back now to get the epic adventure in pdf, softcover, or with a DM screen, fold-out maps, and player handouts.

See you there!

'Sup Liches,
Just a quick note to let you all know to check your inbox or login and check your Backerkit account - you should have the first of the free stretch goal adventures waiting for you there!
This one turned out a lot longer than we were anticipating (our longest adventure to date by a fairly large margin), so you're getting a very good deal here! Due to its length and multi-part nature, it can be used as a longer adventure by itself, or be broken up to serve as a sidequest alongside your own main campaign. However you end up using it, we hope you enjoy, and let us know!
Until the next one,
Ralph and Lou
Hi-ho Evil-doers,
Been a while, eh? Everyone should have their books now (even our much-delayed antipodean fans, sorry about that). We really hope you're enjoying them and finding many new ways to make your party's life that little bit more miserable. We really appreciate everyone who's commented about the book on social media, or taken the time to leave a review on the website - it really is fantastic to see how well it has been received (it is our baby after all).
Just popping in to give a quick update on the state of the adventures. You may recall that we unlocked a pair of PDF adventures as part of the Kickstarter. I am happy to say that the manuscripts for both of them are complete, so after editing and artwork, they will be ready for you to get your paws on. As both of them are quite character-heavy, the writing had to be basically completed before the artwork got started, so they've taken a bit longer than I was anticipating, but I hope they'll be worth the wait! That said, we do have a few bits and pieces we can share.
Rule of Three is our largest adventure so far by page count, and definitely the widest-reaching. It is designed to act something like a long-running side quest, with 5 separate parts, which each take place in very different locales (though there is nothing stopping you carrying on immediately from one part to another, of course). It centers around a former party of adventurers, whose group met a tragic and mysterious end half a century ago. Can your party put to rest the ghosts of the past?
Shadow War is new territory for us; an adventure based primarily around mystery and social interaction, rather than dungeon delving or combat. It takes place shortly after a mangled body is discovered in the town square, and it is up to the party to find the killer as tensions rise over the following days. Can your party unravel the mysteries in time?
We're really excited about both of these adventures, and can't wait to share them with you!
Finally, you may or may not be aware that we currently have a Kickstarter live for Dangerous Destinations. This is a follow-up to our very popular Spectacular Settlements, and approaches building adventuring locations with the same step-by-step builder system. It really is an 'engine of inspiration' (as I'm sure Andrew would say), which helps you discover details about the destination, its environment, and the dangers within as you work your way through a series of rollable tables. Check it out!

That's all for now. Until next time!
