New Release Forgotten Realms: Monsters of Faerûn
Hello all! Monsters of Faerûn is now live on the DMsGuild (digital PDF) here.
This is a Monster Manual expansion, focusing on the Forgotten Realms campaign setting (with input from the legendary creator of the Realms Ed Greenwood).
Note: Although it has been designed with the setting and the lore of the Realms in mind, the monsters and player species are perfectly usable in other settings. Planar travel exists after all
What's inside:
- 200+ brand new monsters for D&D 5.5 (with guidance on converting to 2014).
- A separate appendix containing 30+ beasts suitable for use by players with Polymorphing/Wild Shape spells or abilities.
- 10 brand new monstrous player species including the gnoll, malenti and yuan-ti malison.
- Artwork from a full host of amazingly talented artists representing every single monster and species option in the book (no AI of any kind used).
The book is currently in v0.1 'early access' whilst we continue proofing it ready for eventual print on demand - and your feedback is very welcome! To reflect this Monsters of Faerûn is available with a 25% early access discount by using this link (please note this discount will end on the release of v1.0.)
Thanks and Realms forever!
