New Monster Group: FEY!
🕑 Added 2025-08-07 14:53:27 +0000 UTCHey all, while I wait on pins and needles for the books to arrive (the latest update I have from the freight company is tomorrow, but it might actually end up being next week?), I've been working hard cooking up some new monsters. Big thanks to Alexandra Petruk for the art and Frank Hudson for the lead design on this one (which I'm really excited about by the way).
What's new with fey?
Fey are lighthearted and fun, as a GM you can feel free to throw much more difficult fey encounters at your heroes because this is the first monster group that explicitly DOESN'T want the heroes dead. Their m.o. is to prank, embarrass, taunt—all for the fun of it. Now, some particularly evil fey might want the heroes dead, but the default assumption is that it's for the lols.
2 subgroups Faeries & Gremlins
Faeries. Tiny, evasive prank-pulling creatures. They're mobile, very hard to hit, but with equally low HP. Fighting these guys will feel like a light-hearted prank-war, but watch out, they're VERY tricksy!
Gremlins. Ugly, pot-bellied little troublemakers. They are eager to pick fights, despite their small size and will taunt, grapple and wrestle creatures MUCH larger than themselves.
2 new legendary monsters
Razzle, Gremlin Iconoclast. Razzle is an unspeakably awful little creature—this makes him quite popular amongst Gremlins. He summons "The Boys" and acts as an insufferable hype man for his crew.
Mav, the Winter Queen. A formidable fey monarch that rules over a wintry domain. She includes some new unique area denial and forced movement mechanics that'll really make your heroes rethink how to best approach her.
What else?
I'm really starting to home in on the best format for new monster groups. The most useful things for me as a GM are: brief lore, quest hooks, loot, premade encounters, and advice on how to run them. All of that makes a return for this monster group, and already existing monster groups will likely be updated in time to include these handy features. I hope you all enjoy, and while this group is quite polished, I'm certainly open to playtesting feedback and typo reports!
As always, thank you all for your continued support, I've got much more being cooked up (vampires are coming next!).

The Gremlin Roastmaster has a small typo: “Take a look as this tough guy!” at*
