Boss Doc, 7 New Monsters from Questiary - Voj'Karron the Hydra Princes

Hey everyone,Sorry we're a bit later this week. Ramping up with 6 colored monsters (soon to be seven). This week's prompt was salamanders vs efreeti, but to be honest, we kind of dropped the efreeti.This week's boss is also technically two bosses in one. Sort of.Patrons can grab the PDF at this link.

The Cinderbringer's Lair (Map Collaboration with Zach Moeller)

We hooked up with mapmaker Zach Moeller to give everyone a lair map for Faithreach the Cinderbringer, our druid lich!Zach went in a pretty cool direction with this — the lair is a moving tree construct (its working name is the Tree-Rex).

Boss Doc, 7 New Monsters from Questiary - Enguerrand Osborn, Executive Chairman

Hey everyone,Hope you're all doing well. We certainly are - its been a great few weeks for us, so thanks for coming along for the ride. Bit of a different approach with the posting this week, we're combining the monster post and the boss doc post into one.This week was "steampunk renaissance," a popular poll option. I think we veered away from renaissance and more towards some discovered-inspired stuff, but we think people will like it. :)Patrons can grab the PDF at this link. &#...

EVEN MORE COLORED MONSTERS - SMASHING PATRON GOALS

So, just 10 days ago we proudly announced that we had hit 160 patrons, allowing us to provide two coloured monsters every week.Well, today, we just hit 240 patrons, blowing past our 200 goal and putting us at the point where we can now provide four coloured monsters every week!This happened a lot faster than we expected it to, so we'll have to allow Graner, our artist, some time to ramp up, but patrons can expect to see four colored monsters on a regular basis over the next few weeks.Cheers,...

Boss Tactics?

So, right now we're trying to keep the boss docs within a certain word count, though the time will come when this expands.For now, a few of you have suggested tactics advice for monsters, particularly the bosses.We're thinking we can replace the "Adventure Hooks" section of the boss docs with a "boss tactics" section instead.We think "Adventure Hooks" overlaps decently with "Quests," but figured we'd ask you folks to see what you prefer.To be clear, th...
