[QUOTE="LegendaryGames, post: 6761988, member: 6775678"] There are amazing monsters to be found in the incredible diversity of Earth's myths and legends, from beatific guardians sent by the gods to terrors welling up from deep, dark places, avatars of hunger and hate. The first 32 issues of the Mythic Monsters series (wow, that's a lot) have generally focused on specific creature types, with occasional forays into thematically grouped creatures like Sea Monsters, Fairy Tale Creatures, Colossal, Shadow, Bugs, Worms, Mythos (and Mythos Too), and extraplanar aligned creatures. We'll still do some of those, but we've been thinking a while about what makes something [b]MYTHIC[/b], and one idea we kept coming back to was the myths and legends of real-world cultures. We've toyed with the idea for a while, but it's time has finally come! [b][url="http://www.makeyourgamelegendary.com/they-come-from-the-land-of-the-ice-and-snow/"]Check out the first installment of this new direction for Mythic Monsters: [i]Mythic Monsters: Norse![/i][/url][/b][url="http://www.makeyourgamelegendary.com/they-come-from-the-land-of-the-ice-and-snow/"][/url] Packed with a dozen and one spectacular Scandinavian creatures from the secretive CR 5/MR 2 mythic huldra and fossegrim to the titanic and terrifying CR 30/MR 10 Fenris Wolf, this book brings you a dozen and one mythic monsters, plus bonus material on mythic linnorms and a trio of templates for giving any monster a Nordic flair: the Jotun thane, runecaster, and tricksome traveler!
