Creatures of Eira Preview – The Whisper
A new, Eira specific creature and a further development of my new stat block.

Technically this creature is based […]

Quick Notes – Its Alive! ALIVE!
Designing monsters and creatures is, by now, old hat for me. It is by far my favorite thing to do outside of adventure design when it comes to game design. There is just something purely unique about taking something that does not exist anywhere but your head and giving it physical form and property. Right […]
