over 1 year ago – Wed, Sep 07, 2022 at 08:38:51 PM

Hi all! 

Thank you for your awesome support of our Asian Monsters 5E bestiary project last year! Last week, we launched a follow-up Quick-Starter project you might want to check out, with new editions of Asian Monsters for Pathfinder 1E and 2E and DnD 5E(yes, the 5E book is the same as before), plus new add-ons and a ton of VTT support we didn't have available last year! 

In addition to new add-ons in the project, we've got extensive support for Fantasy Grounds, Foundry, Roll20, and Shard VTTs, including complete virtual tabletop assets, creature descriptions, statistics, and artwork, plus VTT modules include the accompanying VTT Pawn Set as a separate ZIP file. All of the following VTT modules are available in Kickstarter Add-Ons (or through Backerkit later on).

DnD 5E VTT Modules:

• Fantasy Grounds: Asian Monsters, Latin American Monsters, Mythos Monsters, Sea Monsters, Eastern Journey adventure bundle
• Foundry: Asian Monsters, Mythos Monsters
• Roll20: Asian Monsters, Latin American Monsters, Legendary Ninjas
• Shard: Asian Monsters, Latin American Monsters, Mythos Monsters, Sea Monsters

Pathfinder 1E VTT Modules:

• Fantasy Grounds: Eastern Journey adventure bundle
• Roll20: Asian Monsters, Latin American Monsters

Pathfinder 2E VTT Modules:

• Foundry: Asian Monsters, Mythos Monsters
• Roll20: Latin American Monsters

If you enjoyed using Asian Monsters 5E but play multiple systems or just want to check out the new add-ons or VTT options, we hope you'll check out the new expanded Asian Monsters Quick-Starter, running through Friday, September 23rd! Even if you've got all you need, we'd definitely appreciate if you could share the word about this project to any 5E fans or Pathfinder players in your circles who might be interested. Thanks as always and have a Legendary week! 

Asian Monsters for Shard is up! And the Ultimate Treasury is too!

Hi all,

Thanks for your patience with the VTT upload process, but the Asian Monsters product files are now complete at Shard VTT. We would have preferred that they wait until we had gotten codes sent out before setting the product live but it got posted as soon as it was done. We've requested product codes to be sent to the backers that ordered it for their VTT and they should be in your inboxes very soon! If any of our VTT backers are still missing their modules for Roll20 or Fantasy Grounds, let me know and I'll get things sorted ASAP! 

We are getting this year's Kickstarter season going and we've started with a bang with the Ultimate Treasury: 1001 Terrific Treasures for 5E! It's a fabulous hardcover compendium of 1001 incredible magic items, monsters, technological treasures, hoard guardians, spellbooks, rituals, and more, with item cards and Roll20 and Fantasy Grounds support, as well as awesome add-ons (including special PDF bundles for Pathfinder 1E & 2E). We appreciate all of your amazing support on our past projects and hope you check this one out (as well as upcoming projects like Mechanical Monsters, Ultimate Faeries, and Ultimate Horror! We appreciate your awesome support for Asian Monsters and our other projects and look forward to making some amazing new books this year. We'd love for you to pledge today and Join the HOARD! :)

Whoops, double shipping Asian Monsters! And Mother of Monsters is live!

Hi all,

We are grinding through fulfillment with abandon, having just sent out the last 150 or so of the Asian/Mythos/Sea Monsters packages today. We've got more batches coming soon, including Asian Monsters + the Eastern Journey adventures and more with labels printed and ready to start assembling! We are excited and delighted to get these books heading your way! 

However, it appears we might have been a little too excited in sending out the Asian Monsters only packages, because a bunch of people ended up getting double-shipped! I've replied to several of these folks individually, but it seemed like enough people that I'd just send out one update for everyone! 

• If you've got a second copy and it's in good shape, please send it back to us via USPS Media Mail to Legendary Games, 524 SW 321st St., Federal Way, WA 98023-5656. If you'd like us to reimburse you for postage, email us at [email protected] and we can Paypal it back to you. 
• If you've got a second copy of Asian Monsters and it's damaged (we've had one or two of those), then just recycle it or pass it on to a friend who'd love the book and won't mind a few scratches and dents. No need to send it back.
• If you're outside the USA and got a second copy, realistically the cost to ship it back to us is not going to make sense, so go ahead and keep it or pass it on to a fellow gamer who might enjoy it. Better still, take it by your local game shop and show off one of our beautiful books and invite them to drop us a line at [email protected]; we'd love to talk to them about wholesale offers to retail shops! 

Thanks for your assistance and our apologies for the bookkeeping error. I definitely gave a closer look to our other spreadsheets and found one other one where all the backers in the batch were duplicated. Not sure how it happened but the spreadsheets giveth and the spreadsheets taketh away. :)

MOTHER OF MONSTERS IS LIVE! 

We mentioned this over the weekend, but to update everyone the Greek mythology-inspired 5E adventure campaign Mother of Monsters Quickstarter is now LIVE and over 13x FUNDED in just the first few days. We bring you 200 pages of amazing adventure plus new class options, races, monsters, magic items, deities, world lore, and more for a campaign inspired by Greek mythology and set in the Kagari Islands! Like our previous Quickstarters, this short project (just 23 days, ending November 24) is already complete and ready to deliver PDFs immediately and start the printing and shipping process as soon as the KS is complete. If you've liked what you've seen from LG, we hope you'll check it out! 

Shipping glitch on Asian Monsters, and new Mother of Monsters Quick-starter launching Monday!
over 2 years ago – Sat, Oct 30, 2021 at 01:03:21 AM

Hi all,

We had a little shipping snafu with Asian Monsters, but things are rolling again. The books arrived in between my trips to Oregon and Colorado, when I was home for barely two days. I took the first load of books to the post office that weekend, then printed the next batches of labels for my son to pack and take to ship while I was gone. It turned out that the label printer ran out of labels. Oops. 

My son labeled and packed all the books he had labels for but didn't realize that there were more to come and when I got back, I hadn't noticed it either until I got a number of emails about things not shipped. We figured it out a day or two ago when the next batch of 1000 labels arrived and we loaded them and they started printing automatically from the buffer.  We've got three boxes of these late books ready to drop at the post office Saturday and any we don't get to will go out Monday! If you got a "mailing label ready" email but haven't received your book yet, you're in this batch, so your books will be heading your way soon. Sorry for the delay but happy to get them going again! 

Speaking of getting going, we are delighted and excited to announce our next project heading your way!

• Mother of Monsters Quickstarter Launches Next Week! Our first-adventure Quickstarter is set to launch Monday morning (with the flexibility to push to Tuesday if we need an extra day for any last-minute anything), bringing you 200 pages of amazing adventure plus new class options, races, monsters, magic items, deities, world lore, and more for a campaign inspired by Greek mythology and set in the Kagari Islands! It's a little different archipelago from Boricubos but no less exciting a place for adventure! Like our previous Quickstarters, this short project (just 23 days, ending November 24) is already complete and ready to deliver PDFs immediately and start the printing and shipping process as soon as the KS is complete. You can follow the project right here and be notified as soon as we launch!

Books have cleared customs! And a new Quickstarter coming!
over 2 years ago – Fri, Oct 15, 2021 at 11:48:28 PM

In a supreme bit of irony, after six weeks sitting on the docks, our books are at last ready for delivery! Well, sort of. That is to say, they are now ready but I am 500 miles from home. I'll be back for a quick stopover this weekend and then off for another trip, but we are working with the printer and shipping company and planning a delivery for the week after next, hopefully on or around October 25th. Once the books arrive here, we'll break down the pallets, prep the big truck pickups to go out to distribution centers, and start packing books to ship to YOU! 

We are delighted to finally have a firm target date for receiving these books and getting them out to you, and with that in hand and our development and layout team closing in on the final PDFs for Boricubos: Latin American Monsters & Adventures, we are pleased to present our next Quickstarter monster project: Mother of Monsters! This one isn't a bestiary book; instead, it's a new adventure saga inspired by Greek mythology, set amidst the Kagari Islands and featuring new monsters, class options, and more. This passion project by Adrian Arduini has been percolating the past few years in the background, and art and layout are done! He has future installments already written with terrific guest authors like Ron Lundeen and David N. Ross, but those are a potential project for another time. This campaign setting and introductory adventure are entirely self-contained and tell a complete story on their own! 

This will be a Quickstarter like those early in the year, around 20 days with immediate PDF delivery at the conclusion of the project. Unlike the recent Boricubos Kickstarter, this project is 5E only, with no stretch goals, just an awesome adventure and campaign book ready to go (though we'll have a few relevant add-ons available for those that want them, like Sea Monsters for expanding the nautical side of this campaign).

This is our first adventure-focused Quickstarter, and we're excited to see how you like it! We are getting the Kickstarter page ready to preview soon and aim for launching around the end of October/beginning of November. Thanks for your amazing support and we are so excited to get your books up, up, and awayyy, with new projects ready for you too!
