The Game Master's Monster Menagerie - by Josiah Ambrose (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

This innovative collection of unique and immersive monsters will breathe fresh life into game masters' TTRPGs, such as Dungeons and Dragons, Pathfinder, and more.

Josiah, the creator of TTRPG YouTube channel Dungeon Dad, is known for creating stat-blocks and roleplay advice for a variety of original fantasy creatures, even taking requests from fans to depict specific monsters like male hags or memory-eating false hydras. Readers will learn how each monster lives, eats, moves, and thinks, helping them to roleplay more convincing monsters without relying on goblins and dragons every session.

Each chapter includes artwork of the creature, lore/ecology information of the creature, plot hooks (how to actually use the monster in a story), and a knowledge check table which can be used by GMs to allow players to make a relevant skill check in-game with a tiered amount of information that progresses the higher the player rolls.

No matter your experience level, this incredible compendium of monsters is sure to enrich any tabletop roleplaying game.

This book will include 50 monster profiles and 50 illustrations.
