    Didn’t notice when I did the book review of Dragonbane Bestiary. When I went through and said, there are certain characters that you could probably play. They are actually annotated as ‘Player Character,’ if you’d like to use them.

    Thank you for taking the time to go through this book. I'm excited to get my copy. What a bummer about the crease in your page. Every book I get through the mail has something wrong with it, so I can feel you on that one.

      Glad you enjoyed the video. As for the book, as long as the page isn’t ripped or the outside cover isn’t smashed, that’s fine with me. No book from the mail is ever going to be perfect unfortunately…

    I LOVE that it's on mat paper, far to often i am blinded by the glossy pages of a book sitting under bright lights and giving me a headache. The art and off white background also compliments the mat finish giving it an oldtimy feel that's easy on the eyes. Unlike some 4e/5e D&D books who's bright white made you snow blind and gave math textbooks a run for their money in sterile design.

    There's something I haven't seen anyone point out, and I don't know if it's a translation issue or just a preference of word-choice, but what they call 'NPC' in the bestiaries seems to correspond with humanoid. I believe the idea is "if it has an attack with a weapon that can be parried with a melee weapon, then we should allow players to parry". More monstrous creatures have bites, stings, breath attacks, etc that wouldn't make sense to be parryable. Anyway, this is my take on where they got the 'NPC' vs 'monster' terminology. IMO thematically, they're all monsters and it's just a rules difference. It also makes non-humanoid monsters more dangerous, which I like.

      It's pretty simple and new player friendly. The dice system isn't bloated with modifiers and excessive opposed rolls like other games, and it's always clear what you need to roll to succeed without any math.

      Thinking about it now I didn’t like how the original box set was paperback but soft cover has grown on me over the past year, especially that you could lay down on the bed/couch and read. you can’t do much with a hard cover. You have to be at the table.
