After almost a year of writing, testing, and editing the Monstrous Lexicon has been unleashed! In just the first week the Lexicon broke the top 100 best selling gaming books. Even better, the feedback we are getting has been amazing receiving multiple five star reviews.
The Monstrous Lexicon is a collection of 71 original monsters and four new playable races for the 5th edition of the world’s greatest roleplaying game. The creatures within spring from the two authors’ combined 50+ years of gaming, as well as horrors yet untapped from mythology.
GMs will find monsters to challenge players of any level, including the legendary CR 30 Typhon, Father of Monsters.
Players will love the richly developed character races including:
* The Grooleshi, a deeply spiritual and introspective society of monastic elephant-men.
* The Gruagach, a distant cousin to gnomes who have sworn off civilization to embrace the natural world.
* The Lupine Wolflords, a proud race of woodland hunters resembling gray wolves.
* Two subraces of minotaur: The noble and boisterous Epiran Minotaur, and their cousins, the secretive Deep Minotaur.
One element of the Monstrous Lexicon that I had enormous fun writing was the dialog between retired adventurers, Borg Thorvald and Rynne Siruul. While Borg is in the sunset of his life, the elvish Rynne doesn’t have the heart to let her longtime friend go and occasionally slips him a few drops of a potion of longevity. As each monster is introduced, the companions give their impression of the beasty which is often a hilarious look at the creature’s habits.
Terror. Triumph. Destiny.
Famed adventurers Borg Thorvald and Rynne Siruul are ready to share their untold stories. In the twilight of their adventuring careers, they have put quill to parchment to document the perilous monsters and wondrous peoples they have met in all the far-flung reaches of the world.
