This month, the two versions of our monster are fairly different. For Dungeon World, we have sci-fi VAT MERCHANTS , creating zombies for you in their tanks full of fluid. For Labyrinth Lord, we have a dungeon section full of secret doors, strange loot, and threats like the VAT ZOMBIES, along with a ...

The Monthly Monster for May is The Amalgam, a creature that tears holes in reality to connect different planes of existence. This is one of those monsters that feels like it could be the start of a whole new theme, so maybe we will end up doing more Planescape-style fantasy monsters.Both Dungeon Wor...

March 2016: The Monthly Monster
Once again, we're experimenting with content and layout! Planet Maldoran is a science fantasy setting full of dangerous places and dangerous monsters, all oriented around plots and situations, so it's system agnostic.

Battleflies and Tomb Guardians
I have been making monsters for a new game I'm working on, The Nightmares Underneath. It's old school style dungeoncrawling but with dungeons that are extraplanar incursions made of nightmares (and with a vague setting that's more Middle Eastern/swords and sandals than Euro-American fant...

February 2016 Monthly Monster
This month's monster is a rules-agnostic space station used for mining. Or it should be used for mining, but the management is running dangerous, illegal, and highly unethical experiments and the miners have their own criminal organization going on.
Dungeon Suggestions
Okay, so: with A Market in the Woods now finished (see the last post), the giant book full of dungeons for all our dungeon-y monsters is back on the front burner.Now, I realize this isn't the most interactive of patreons, BUT: if you have suggestions for stuff you want to see in future Monthly M...
DW Monster Manual Number 3!
Our third Dungeon World book is finished. A Market in the Woods collects another dozen entries from amongst our many monthly monsters, and adds to them new details about that elusive and dangerous market.

January 2016: Monthly Monster
The nuns of the Bone Goddess maybe look skeletons, but they are no mindless automatons. Covered in ghostly flame, they have retained their intellects, all the better to worship their morbid deity.I did the Labyrinth Lord version in the standard style for now, but I'm going to revise it as soon a...
Unicorn Burial Ground Redux
Here is another one for the Labyrinth Lord series. I reworked the dungeon of the rhinocorn homunculi (the Monthly Monster for September 2014) to fit on a digest-sized 2-page spread (or 1 letter-sized page). Mostly, I'm just trying to increase the usability and reference value of these maps as I ...
