Collectanea Creaturae - Monsters & Magic

Selected Option:

How Does One Measure a Hero?

By His Enemies.


Within these pages, you will find over 150 creatures for your Monsters & Magic heroes to face, ranging from the mundane - bears, wolves, and sharks - to the truly monstrous - demons, titans, and dragons.

But these are not simply stacks of hit points for you to whittle down.  The creatures within are presented with motivations, social actions, and personality.  Your players can try to strike a deal with a goblin trader, negotiate with a centaur tribe, frolic with fauns, or look for a way to lay an unfortunate shade to rest.

Further, twenty-four creatures are presented for use as familiars and animals companions for your PCs, and seven new PC races added to those already available in the core Monsters & Magic rules.

But don't take our word for it!  Here's what Sarah Newton, creator of Monsters & Magic, has to say:

"The Collectanea Creaturae sparks with ideas and creativity, a true OSR gem - a pick-up book of foes and allies for your Monsters & Magic game, but also something deeper, with hooks and ideas for adventures and encounters everywhere."

Does it have "Mooks", "Supporting" and "Masters" for each creature?

Looks like promising content but thin on art. Can anyone comment?

Hi! This is Travis from Ebon Gryphon Games. In the monster section, we have art for 56 of our creatures. The races section has two pieces, and the animal companions five pieces. That's not counting the frontispiece or logo in the interior.

Since this is our first product, we didn't have any established relationships with artists, which left us scrambling a bit. We hope for a higher art density in future projects, but this one does have about one illustration for every three pages.

You can see some more samples of our art in our Facebook gallery: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1423041674593455.1073741828.1422441181320171&type=3

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
