Atlas Animalia - A book of monster variants

Created by Andreas Walters

From the creators of the Baby Bestiary, explore monster variants like you've never seen before! Slated to be an 100-page hardcover book. It currently features 25 unique beasts, exploring three diverse variants of each. Like an extended monster manual lore entry, each page will dive deep into the creature, covering biology, hunting, and mating (perhaps even some rearing tips for the daring beastmaster). In addition, the book examines each creature's unique environmental adaptations as well as local uses for the creature (from legendary myths and traditions that tie into adventure hooks).

almost 7 years ago – Wed, Jun 21, 2017 at 10:11:25 PM

Hey Everybody, 
First off if you haven't voted for Beasts 19 & 20 do so on THIS POST.
Secondly, I am at work and did not bring my laptop with InDesign on it, so I cannot modify or create any graphics until I get back home, but that said I still wanted to get an update to you guys!

Now, on to the news! 

Since our last update, we've breezed through, not one, not two,  but Three social stretch goals!!

  • Facebook Likes (current 690) :                    700 - 800 - 900

  • Number of Backers (current 422):               500- 1000 - 2000

This means we've unlocked the,

1.Atlas Animalia Tarot Deck

This tarot deck will contain all the beast variants! 
I will show some mockups tonight, but currently, I'm thinking that we can put a little bit of lore on the card with the beast image (but I'm up for suggestions).
This deck is available as an add-on, in addition, backers who pledged at the  Owlbear Sanctuary Guardian and up (pledge level $100 and up) will receive this Tarot deck for free.
The add-ons are as below:

+$20 Beast Tarot Deck (includes PDF)

+$5 PDF of the Beast Tarot Deck (for those who want to show on their laptop or print out for themselves)

We also unlocked the,

2. Poster in all print books!

We will make a poster and have it printed and placed in every book!
The design of this poster you will vote upon as we get more Atlas Art and closer to the time of printing :) 
We will also include a digital version of the poster for all the backers!

And finally,

3. More Stats for more systems!

In addition to Pathfinder and D&D 5e we will make beast stats for another ruleset!
In the comments below (this update post), post the stat system, you want rules for, and the most voted will be added to the list of available rulesets to select from!

(Voting will close End of Saturday the 24th, just to keep it brief and quick, and also wanted to have it extend into the weekend so people had a chance to check their emails).

Thanks all and don't forget to be awesome

 Thanks for helping us get to 75% (and more now) funded!

I made this unicorn variant for you based off one of earlier suggestions by you, our backers. 

We still have room for 2 more variants so if you have suggestions, please leave a comment here. 

Have a great day!
