about 2 months ago – Mon, Apr 13, 2026 at 03:03:33 PM

Hi all,

Asian Monsters was the first in our ongoing series of Legendary Bestiaries devoted to real-world mythology, and we thank you for helping us bring not only this beautiful book to life but also birthing a whole product line! We've been delighted to bring you even more amazing mythological monsters like Mediterranean Monsters, Latin American Monsters, and last year's African Monsters (in addition to many more such creatures in Sea Monsters and the Faerie Bestiary), but we are pleased to present the latest chapter in our killer creature collections: Nordic Monsters! 

This magnificent manual of monsters highlights the sagas of Scandinavia from jotuns and trolls to linnorms and valkyries, terrible titans like Fenris Wolf, Grendel, and the Yule Cat, and far stranger things like the plague-maiden syöjätär, vörðr tree spirits, and beatific bjarndýrakóngur unicorn-bears!

You can get this beautiful bestiary for D&D 5.5E, Pathfinder First and Second Edition, or Tales of the Valiant, and you can get it on its own or as part of a bundle with over 500 pages of monsters in our other Legendary Bestiaries like Asian Monsters, African Monsters, Mediterranean Monsters, and Latin American Monsters, or in a massive mega-bundle of all 13 of our incredible bestiary books like Mechanical Monsters, SWARMS!, and the Alien Bestiary! Best of all, this project launches in April and starts delivering rewards in May! 

The Nordic Monsters are coming, so join the hosts of Valhalla to battle these beasts and Make Your Game Legendary! Sign up today and get ready for launch!

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:

Pathfinder 2E VTT Modules:

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 4 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!
