Introducing: the Menagerie of Mayhem
🕑 Added 2025-11-13 18:00:13 +0000 UTCArt by Tania Herrero, additional art and cover design by Andrew Bauman.
Some life stuff has put Bastion of Hope on hold for a bit longer, so I've moved another project into pole position:
The Menagerie of Mayhem is a series of short adversary books for use with the Daggerheart rules, to eventually be combined into one larger collection (ideally with a print edition!). The books will include refined versions of some adversaries first created in livestreams, like the Trickster Spirit and Blabbering Mound, as well as adversaries never before seen!
Volume 1 will include adversaries such as:
The nihilistic Cult of the End (Priest of Decay and the Congregation of the End)
A two-phase Blood Mage that turns into an amorphous blob of blood using sharpened scabs to eviscerate opponents
A domineering Herald of Conquest
and more!
For a total of 36 adversaries across all four tiers of play.
Menagerie of Mayhem Vol. 1 is scheduled for early release to backers in December. All backers at $10 and up will get the full PDF. After that, it will be available to sell on Patreon for an exclusive window, then to go on-sale via Patreon, DriveThruRPG, Heart of Daggers, and itch.io!

Thanks! For Volume 1 I am using a stock art collection from Tania Herrero, so it will be on the spare end, art-wise. The goal is for the first book's success to generate a larger budget to spend on licensing/commissioning art to be used in later volumes.

I am SO psyched for this, Mike. Thank you for sharing. I can't wait to see what you and the artists have come up with.
