BRIGHTHAMMER Bestiary progress (again)


Howdy everyone!

Work on the BRIGHTHAMMER Bestiary continues. Thanks so much for your patience. <3

I've now got the front cover, the back page, and the spreads for both the low- and mid-level foes laid out. I've also got my hand scrawled notes for the high-level foes done, and  will be putting those into the Affinity Publisher layout tonight. I'm aiming to have the A4-sized Bestiary booklet done and up on the BRIGHTHAMMER itch page by the weekend.

Just like with the GM Guide, the content of the Bestiary changed as I continued to develop it. High-level foes have four lines of text (as opposed to the three lines of text for low- and mid-level foes), meaning I can only fit eight of them on the spread. So there's only 28 entries in the Bestiary (31 counting the dragons on the back page) rather than the 30+ I initially said there'd be. I need to get better at planning out the final versions of things before I make promises about them.

Also, there is just no space for the "build-a-beast" tables in the Bestiary. So this booklet won't contain tables and guidelines on making your own monsters. Sorry about that. To make up for it, I've decided to expand those tables into their own booklet and include tables for making traps. No idea when this "creature construction" booklet will be available, or what it will be called, but it's now part of the ever-growing list of BRIGHTHAMMER supplements and extras I plan to make in the future.

Again, thanks for your patience, your enthusiasm, and the amazing reception you've given my little game. <3
