Dragonbane Bestiary Purchase Link: www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/455179/dragonbane-bestiary?affiliate_id=3372501 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.
I watched a live interview today where Nils (free league) stated that Johan is "working hard on art for dragonbane" so I have to assume there's more in the works!
Brilliant overview! Patiently awaiting my physical copy to arrive in the UK but making do with the PDF. Proving to be a fantastic addition, I love the random encounters and Adventure seeds 😁
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.
We all need more knifes they are so good :-) what knife is that? Also I would love to play Dragonbane but I have a couple games I want to try or am atm (Mork Borg, DCC and Shadowdark) RIP time lol
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.

Holy shiz-nit, one of my major problems with Dragonbane solved…seriously, the page after the monster section clearly depicts a lizard-man, yet lizard men aren’t in the monster section
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.

Paper is very nice in this book, that is for certain
Love johan egerkran's art. I hope Free League keeps giving him work.
Very impressive

@bensdecoypoondummy1189 oh I know… he accidentally posted it on Facebook. It had Minotaurs on the cover. I still have the picture somewhere.
Got my copy, too! Great addition to a great system.
I really like it a lot!

Book is fantastic
Looking forward to my copy. WooHoo!
Sorry for the late reply, I did not see this comment. Hopefully you got your book already! It’s a nice one!
Great overview! :D I’m stoked for this to become more publicly available.
Hopefully they should be fulfilling this month or next
@@wilonascave Oooh, I’m excited~! >;3
Beautiful book! 🙂
💯
The entry isn't for a single fairy, it's for a *swarm* of fairies - that's why they count as a monster!
Thanks
Nice! been debating picking this up. I wish there were no repeats of some of the monsters in the core set though.
Agreed! But I still have to look at the core rulebook to see if anything is different for repeated monsters
Can you show the new minis too?@@wilonascave
Yah, I’m getting this.

I also want to pick up the core rules after getting this book. The paper quality is amazing and sorry that one page is messed up.
It will probably be on my March ‘To Buy’ list.

K98 Bayonet
"They have a Cave Troll!"
I have a fascination with caves, hence my Channel name 😂
each entry explicitly states which ones are playable
That’s cool! Didn’t notice. But really, everyone’s playable it’s so easy to make a character in this game.
How appropriate that you opened it with a dragonbayonet
Ahhhh you made that connection…… that bayonet is old!
@@wilonascave I’m fond of puns
Beautiful artwork how crunchy is it or easy for newer people

@SchizoidPersonoid agreed!
Did you back this on kickstarter? It still says pre-order on the website and it's not even listed on amazon or modipheus
I bought it on pre order the day (really within the first hour) it was announced
All the young un's asking "What's zeerocks"? 😊😊😊

Where do you order this book?
freeleaguepublishing.com/shop/dragonbane/bestiary/
It’s super odd; but I found it at tractor supply
Yes! I posted a long time ago that if you are in need for dog food, chicken wire and Dragonbane… Head over to Tractor Supply!
@@wilonascave 😂😂
I kinda wish the book was in soft cover. I
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.
@@wilonascave yeah, in novels I read soft covers and I prefer my game manuals to be lighter since I do most of my reading in a recliner :)
Got to hard disagree, soft covers give out over use and my books see use. the original box set softcover already look like hell.
They definitely can’t take wear & tear as well
The cover illustration is my least favorite, which is kind of weird.
