Description

Introduction:

From cat people to chimeras, fairies to frog people, hippogriffs to hydras, and much more!

This Bestiary for the Dragonbane roleplaying game includes no less than 63 wondrous creatures for the player characters to encounter. Each of them is brought to life in text and art, as well as a random encounter and a seed for a complete adventure. Among these fantastic beings, there are nine new playable kin, each with their own unique ability. The full-color hardcover book is gloriously illustrated by Johan Egerkrans and David Brasgalla.

Oh, will no good deed go unpunished? I suppose time will tell, but right now things are looking bleak indeed. I have wandered, ridden, climbed, crawled, and swum all over this earth; I have spoken with all manners of creatures, observed, analyzed, and recorded almost everything worth knowing about the people and beings of the world. And yet here I am, unthanked and crouched in a godforsaken crevice, hunted by several of the creatures that I’ve graciously included in my catalog. How astoundingly rude!

– Theodora Sneezewort, one of a kind

Dragonbane is a game full of magic, mystery, and adventure, designed for fast play with very little prep time and adventures that are a breeze to run.

This is an RPG with room for laughs at the table and even a pinch of silliness at times – while at the same time offering brutal challenges for the adventurers. We call this playstyle mirth and mayhem roleplaying.

THE GAME:

Dragonbane comes with all of the fantastical creatures that you’d expect plus a few more – not least the duck-like mallards!

The game uses a skill-based D20 system that is very easy for new players to learn. Each skill is rated from 1 to 18, and the player needs to roll equal to or lower than the skill level to succeed. That’s right – in this game you want to roll low. Rolling a natural 1 is called rolling a dragon, and triggers powerful special effects.

The core Dragonbane game has ten professions, including the classic Fighter, Mage, Hunter and Thief, but also the more unorthodox Artisan, Merchant, Mariner and Scholar. The profession will impact a player character’s starting skills and give it a starting heroic ability, but after the game starts the player is free to further develop their character in any way they choose, unbound by any class restrictions.

THE SETTING:

Dragonbane is a game of fast-paced fantasy adventures. The core game presents a core mythology of this fantasy world, focused on the eternal struggle between dragons and demons. The ruins of fallen kingdoms, worshiping either of these rival godlike creatures, beckon brave adventurers with the lure of hidden treasures.

Rather than describing entire continents, the core game focuses on the Misty Vale, a hidden mountain valley until recently overrun by orcs and goblins. In recent years, the orcs have retreated into the mountains, leaving the land open for explorers, settlers and adventurers of other kin such as humans, dwarves, elves, halflings, mallards, and wolfkin. The land lies open for adventure.

Note:

■ To make even more use of this book, there is a complete set of cardboard standees for the creatures in it for use on a battle map, available separately
■ Most (but not all) of the art in this book was previously published in the Bestiary for the earlier edition of Drakar och Demoner from 2016
