Your latest kickstarter is for Monsters of Feyland 2: The Well of Dreams, a fey themed monster book that also features seven regions where the monsters dwell along with statted out NPCs. This unique combination provides a detailed mini-setting for DMs and follows a similar theme of location based monsters from previous Cawood monster books like <a href="https://www.enworld.org/threads/monsters-of-the-city-sins-and-virtues-a-review.678192/" target="_blank">Monsters of the City: Sins and Virtues</a>.

The Well of Dreams has been corrupted and war between the Seelie and Unseelie Courts has begun. You can have your players experience a fairy tale or an epic war. We return to Feyland and even bring back a few of the monsters from the first book. The fifth book in our 5E Monsters series will be 140-160 pages long with 100-120 new monsters. We'll also have new magical items, fey flora, adventure hooks, GM advice, encounter tables, region information pages, events tables, and more. The creatures will include many fey and a few other types. Some of the monsters include the Hatter, flying centaurs, the Frog Witch, floating island elementals, new unicorns, unique dragons, and many arch fey.</p><p></p><p><strong>CD: What items are you offering through this kickstarter?</strong></p><p><strong>AC:</strong> We have hardcover/softcover and PDF versions of the book.
