One More Week to Back P.T. Lamark’s Cryptid Codex: A Bestiary for 5e

Do you want to add a monstrous dash of Americana to your 5e sessions? Then look no further than P.T. Lamark’s Cryptid Codex.

Now in its final week on Kickstarter, this new collection of monsters—as compiled by veteran content creators Dice Dungeons—is filled with ‘cryptids from every U.S. state’, including not only ‘famous legends like Bigfoot and Mothman’, but also a suitably weird and wonderful menageries of more obscure—but no less remarkable—creatures and hominids such as the Skunk Ape, the Boggy Creek Monster and many more.

Each of these entries has been specifically designed to fit into your 5e sessions with ease, featuring as they do ‘full stat blocks, regional lore, unique lairs, and story hooks designed to drop directly into your campaign’. Also, as no 5e encounter is complete without a fistful of loot, each of the creatures included in the codex boasts an ‘optional loot section’ designed to ‘reward players who dare to hunt the unknown’. Said swag ranges from ‘magical relics tied to each cryptid’s power to rare materials harvested from their remains’.

This campaign is already fully funded and unlocking stretch goals; these include pre-generated cryptid hunters, a suite of magical relics inspired by American legends, a guide to the American frontier and more. For those of you who like to try before you buy, Dice Dungeons have prepared a sample playtest PDF for your consideration.

See the Kickstarter campaign for more details.
