Preview Monsters and Book Price
Hi again, everyone,
I'll be getting a new monster on
the Atlas website every week, so a nice, big sampling of the book's monsters will be available to all in the coming weeks. I can't say for sure whose monsters will or won't be previewed at this point, though. I don't want to ruin the surprise!
Keep in mind, please, that the dozen or so monsters we will have previewed by the book's release will only be about 5% of the monsters in
The Penumbra Fantasy Bestiary.
Regarding price: Yes, the book is $45 dollars, black-and-white. It's also 368 pages. That's more pages than the Monster Manuals (224 pages), the EverQuest monster book (211 pages), the Monsternomicon (240 pages) or the Ravenloft monster book (160 pages).
The Bestiary is a big book. Seriously*, just trying to carry a print-out of the book down the hall I crushed three of my vertebrae and dislocated my shoulder. I was going to curse and whine and such, too, but I didn't want to upset
The Bestiary because it's so much bigger than I am (a mere 210 pages) and it can smell fear. You hear that? Our monster book can actually**
smell fear.
Can the Fiend Folio smell fear? No, it can't.

**Not actually.
