Monster of the Week #20

 This week we look at Pathfinder 2e’s formidable Greater Barghest. As a horror TTRPG player, I don’t have a significant amount of experience with fantasy RPG’s that aren’t D&D. I’ve played the grisly Mörk Borg, and an introductory game of Pathfinder 2e – that’s about it. I do however have the Bestiary and a selection … Read more

Monster of the Week #19

This week we look over to an old favourite of mine – Monster Hunter! GM Binder have a great Monster Hunter Bestiary for 5e which has a huge amount of content that you will recognise as a Monster Hunter fan.

Monster of the Week #18

 This week we are sticking to the theme of witches! The Monster of the Week is A Night Hag. Many of you who have played D&D, Pathfinder or any fantasy RPG have likely came across this exact (or very similar) creature. Nighthags in D&D a slightly harder than their counterpart hags, and are by nature, … Read more

Monster of the Week #17

  This week we go to some custom made baddies by DnD 5e Home-brew Tumblr – a phenomenal place to find a host of home-brewed items and NPCs. One that caught my eye was the Flame Revenant.  The Flame Revenant offers an interesting and unique encounter for a group of adventurers. Particularly some of the listed … Read more

This is Fletcher, a cannibal warlock who has abducted the Shadow-kings true Heir, Aldon, for his evil necromantic machinations. Or has he? Fletcher has taken the Shadow-kings son in an attempt to use him as a bargaining … Read more

Monster of the Week #14

  This week we hop over to the Grothlut – one of Pathfinder’s abominations that your party can face.  These creatures are great for body horror games, especially considering they are often humans that have turned into slug-like abominations.  Lore explains these creatures are failed Fleshwarp experiments and are often used as Shocktroopers. These could … Read more

Monster of the Week #13

  This week we are diving into custom stat blocks which I found on Pinterest, for those who are interested! The Thing – Stats So – for those who don’t know – the Thing is from John Carpenter’s The Thing which is a fantastic horror film about a group of researchers who are stuck in … Read more

Monster of the Week #12

This week we are jumping over to Pathfinder to look at the Doppelgänger. With RPG sales all of last month, I have managed to accrue a big chunk of Pathfinder material, and have been working my way through some of their creatures. Generally, they seem a little grislier than D&D monsters and the Pathfinder Bestiaries … Read more

This week we are taking another look at the Alien RPG – but this time, we are using the Neomorph. The Neomorph is used in addition to the Abomination that players can encounter – but they are much more dangerous. Similar to the Abomination, the Neomorph has multiple stages a player can encounter it in … Read more
