New Art Sketches for Creature & Encounter Cards Kickstarter

We’ve just posted 2 sketches for each of 10 new creatures for the Creature & Encounter Cards Kickstarter.  We’d like to include input on these sketches as artist Matt Bulahao refines them into the final images for the project.

Here is a breakdown of the project:

  • There are 5 different creature card decks of 54 cards each (plus a cover and license card.) Each creature deck focuses on a few creature types.
  • Each of the 5 creature card decks will be done with stats on the backs for 5 different systems: Pathfinder, Labyrinth Lord (1E Fantasy), Dungeon World, Fate, and there will be a set of the 5 creature decks with Ecology/System Neutral information.  Plus there will also be a deck with blank backs.
  • We also have 2 Encounter Decks which help make more interesting, dynamic random encounters.  Think of them as Mad Libs meed the book of Lairs.
  • We’re also offering our ENnie-nominated DungeonMorph cards and Monster Stand-Ins pre-printed cardstock minis as additional rewards.
  • The Creature and Encounter cards have PDFs available.  You can pledge for them by themselves or get them free if you get the physical decks.  The Monster Stand-Ins also have a PDF, but due to the discount on the physical stand-ins and the large number of creatures in the file, they PDF is not included free with the physical product.  (The physical stand-ins have 600 minis of 250+ creatures.  The PDF will have 350 or perhaps 400+ creatures and you can print as many as you want.)
  • Most of the art is available as stock art for other publishers.  See the Stock Art section near the bottom of the Kickstarter page linked above.
  • We have a pledge helper web page that helps you pick a pledge amount and reward based ont he items you would like.
