A couple months back as this idea was percolating we had a fun thread with a bunch of cool ideas to build on it. Now the project is over 1/2 written and we have art for half of it as well. So the Kickstarter is now live! See more previews and details there. But definitely give the video a watch--really proud of how that last minute idea/parody came to life.
Quick summary: “Rock and Roar” is an OSR bestiary with creature concepts based on classic rock/pop/metal & more song titles and band names. The project offers two books–one for Shadowdark, and the other has the same monsters/art but with stats for Old-School Essentials (OSE, a faithful B/X or early D&D clone).
Each book will have at least 50 monsters, plus appendices for a fun setting map, magic Items, NPCs, and lists of alternate spell names. The book size is similar to the Shadowdark and OSE books. Each monster gets its own page with a backstory/ecology, stats and abilities, and charts of alternate powers or idea generators.
