Book Synopsis

As seen on TikTok!

Mix and match your very own RPG monster with this interactive, illustrated flip book creating fully functional creatures by piecing together heads, torsos, and legs so GMs have exciting new beasts to unleash!

Is your adventure party tired of the same old boring monsters? Instead of filling your next dungeon with zombies, flip through Düngeonmeister: The Random Monster Generator and create something brand-new.

With each page split into three separate sections (head, torso, and legs), this mix-and-match flip book assembles unique creatures with stats to match each of the beast's body parts. For instance, GMs can create:
-A zombie head kobold with spider legs giving you an unstoppable undead monstrosity that will chase your party across walls and ceilings
-A monster with a snake head and tentacles for legs making an enemy that's resistant to piercing damage with a venomous bite
-A dragon that's more than a dragon when you mix in gelatinous body and a giant's legs, turning your typical fire-breather into an oversized one that's resistant to bludgeoning and slashing

Fully compatible with 5E, this book is perfect for DMs looking for something functional and fun to help them fill out dungeons and encounters with interesting and challenging enemies.

Her art is inspired by Art Nouveau, Art Deco, funerary imagery, and the natural world. Her creations tend to skew into the macabre and unknown with a balance of sweetness and sentimentality, honoring the Victorian-era theme of Memento Mori. As a native of New Hampshire, Sara grew up surrounded by trees and plenty of wild mushrooms. When not making art or writing, she's watching horror movies, cleaning forgotten gravestones with her mom, and collecting possibly haunted curiosities from the 19th century.
