Merry Christmas

“I don’t know what to do!” cried Scrooge, laughing and crying in the same breath; and making a perfect Laocoön of himself with his stockings. “I am as light as a feather, I am as happy as an angel, I am as merry as a schoolboy. I am as giddy as a drunken man. A merry Christmas to everybody! A happy New Year to all the world. Hallo here! Whoop! Hallo!”
-Ebenezer Scrooge

I hope you wanted Monsters for Christmas! -Owlbears and Gargoyles


It's the last week of the "Monsters for Christmas"  posts. It’s been fun converting some monsters I made for 2nd edition into 3rd and creating some new ones.
The two monsters  added to the Resources page are Owlbears and Gargoyles. One is a furry classic of fantasy role-playing and the other is neat bit of architectural magic with a thick stone hide.
Observant readers may notice that the Gargoyle description mentions the spells Turning and Animate Gargoyle repeatedly. A future blog post will feature both spells statted out.
I hope these monsters inspire and enliven your Victoriana games over the coming year.

Whoops- A Fixed Link

I was doing some checking and discovered the link to the Coaldust Pixie write-up was broken. No wonder there wasn't any activity! It's fixed now. If you ever notice a broken page on this blog, please send me a message so I can fix it quickly.

Another announcement: As Christmas falls on a Friday this year, I will not be writing content for  that week. I will probably say a little something about "Merry" and "Christmas" and a reference to "Being the Dickens" but nothing fancy.

I hope you wanted Monsters for Christmas! - Giant Spiders and the Shagfoal

This month, I’m bulking up the Resources page with some home-brew Victoriana Monsters. Every week in December I'll add two more monsters to the Bestiary to add some fur, fangs, and festivity to your sessions.
This week’s monsters are Giant Spiders and the Shagfoal. One is a creepy fantasy staple that will fit in rural and urban settings. The other is more spectral and will certainly be bothersome to an adventuring party even after its defeat. Enjoy.
