B is for Beasts

When I was a wee lad growing up in a rather Germanic household,the Advent calendar was one of the joys of each year. A picture or a chocolate lay behind each of its 25 little cardboard cutouts, and—because you only opened one per day—the last window in the Advent calendar was always for Christmas. It was a brutal way to learn patience; but hey, at least there was SOMETHING every day until the Christmas carnage arrived.

Immediate Gratification

Well, in the spirit of Advent, or at least Gamer Christmas, we’re launching the A B C Previews of the Tome of Beasts right here!

The Tome of Beasts Kickstarter is going to deliver more than 300 awesome presents for 5th Edition gamers. The Kobold Press crew has been hammering away at it, and it’s looking incredible. Read about it on our Kickstarter site! (Then come back! We’ll wait!)

More Preview Monsters

Our A B C Previews differ from an Advent calendar in a major way; the more backers share, link, or retweet them, the faster we unlock the next one.
