Right here: Blackdirge's Dungeon Denizens

There's a thread in this very forum with a list of the monsters that will be appearing in the book.

No Tome of Horrors unless the GLS changes.

Creature Collection is coming out but when is the question. Fiery Dragon has the license.

Denizens of Avandu is another one I've heard is coming out.

As well as the Blackdirge!

Come on publishers, we need the books! This is your window, while we are hungry, while the WotC has only 1 book out (though clearly the dragon and undead books will have many statted monsters), and we aren't used to re-skinning and creating our own monsters.

I really, really want the scarred lands creature book....any news on that one?

I'm shocked, actually, that no one like me (as in, no real experience) has tried to seel some pdf monster books. I think there was a real opportunity right after the books came out for a pdf with a bunch of low level orcs and other traditionally low level monsters, and yet, nothing.

I think that has a lot to do with the GSL and the lack of desire of many to publish under its current incarnation.

Hopefully that will change with the revised GSL.

Hopefully we'll get the revised GSL in this lifetime!

Goodmand Games and Blackdirge Publishing are releasing a whole line of PDF monster books called Critter Cache. The first one, which focuses on giant insects, will be available tonight (look for the official announcement later tonight).

You can find out more about these books in this press release: Goodman/Blackdirge Press Release

Saw that, looking forward to them. Any release date on dungeon denizens?

Right now, it's simply slated for a December release. However, the very second I have a firm release date, I'll post it here.

But don't worry, you should have at least two Critter Caches to tide you over until then.
