Selected Option:

Create Your Own Book of Monsters!

Conjure the magic of your imagination to create new monsters for your RPG fantasy world!

About the Book

Perhaps the most fun being a fantasy role-playing game-master is creating new monsters! This monstrous manual provides you with a dedicated place to record your own creations. It contains one hundred open listings waiting for you to add your own descriptions, backgrounds, and unique details to bring your creatures to life. There are sixty illustrations to help inspire the creation of your unique horde of horrible monsters. In addition, there are forty entries with enough space for you to create original drawings of your own monstrous creations.

Create all-new monsters to challenge your unsuspecting players!

This Manual of Unknown Monsters is for the imaginative DM; it does not contain pre-generated monsters with their stats. The illustrations are designed to provide the game referee a starting point to spark their imagination in the creation of new monsters for their fantasy world. If you want a book that collects monsters of your own creation then order the print version so you can add it to your eldritch library.

About the Print Edition: The “Hardcover and Softcover Color Book (Standard Heavyweight)” uses a thicker 70# white paper which has better page opacity. Despite being listed as Color, the book's interior illustrations are in black & white. 

About the PDF: Now you can enter your monsters' details and backgrounds into the form fields to make creature creation easy.

La descrizione parla che si possono compilare i campi modulo, con descrizione e immagini, però ad oggi non posso fare ciò nella mia copia (riscaricata da poco).

Have you given the rights to Discodadda on eBay to buy these in bulk and resell as a business for profit? I see many sellers on ebay buying books in bulk on DTRPG and selling them for profit as a business.

Ottimo manuale e bellissime illustrazioni!!
Se posso vorrei chiedere due cose:
Poterlo avere stampato in formato A5
La possibilità di poter inserire nei pdf immagini per personalizzare i mostri creati da noi.
In ogni caso Manuale veramente fantastico!!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
