"Over 130 new horrific monsters to add to your 5th Edition game! More details, more options, more variations, more fun!"
I love me some monster books and undead monster books generally "take it to eleven" for me. (forgive the Spinal Tap reference)
Ultimate Bestiary: The Dreaded Accursed for 5th Edition! looks to be my cup of tea, even if it is for 5e ;) Seriously, great art and concept from a publisher that has delivered solid 5e releases in the past.
Ultimate Bestiary: The Dreaded Accursed is not another A-Z of monsters. Instead, following on from its predecessor Ultimate Bestiary: Revenge of the Horde, we have focused on some of the commonly encountered undead and accursed monsters like ghosts, ghouls, liches, lycanthropes, and vampires, detailing their origins, environments, and attitudes, as well as introducing a wide variety of stat blocks to suit a range of challenge levels, with a huge variety of unique artwork.Then its little pieces like the following that truly stand out to me:
Please make sure tankards are washed PROMPTLY and THOROUGHLY. Arteus is clearly upset by mess and clutter and I don’t want to spend another day cleaning up the common-room and scrubbing blood out of the walls. YES, it is hypocritical that he wrecks the place when he’s upset. NO, there is no value in trying to point that out to him.
-Note posted behind the bar in The Famous Spirit taproom20 bucks for the PDF. 40 bucks for the hardcover. If I only ran 5e... ;P
My issue is that they have 3 other KS undelivered before this one, including Spectacular Settlements that's no where near done. It's hard to back a company with four projects stacked up. My personal opinion, of course.
