Ultimate Faeries: Fey Monsters & Campaigns for DnD 5E & PF

Faerie Bestiary 5E Foundry VTT codes are up!
almost 2 years ago – Tue, Feb 28, 2023 at 11:59:31 PM

If you added the Foundry VTT module for the Faerie Bestiary 5E to your pledge, check your Backerkit account now for your module key to access it! 

Our Foundry folks are hard at work now on the Faerie Bestiary PF2, and we look forward to having that VTT module for your soon! 

In other news, we've been exhaustively proofing and editing both the 5E and PF1 versions of the Faerie Bestiary with the printer (even when you think you've done the "final" version, we do one more pass with a full proof because more often than not there's a few more things that slipped through). We just sent off what *should* be the final two revisions for both versions of the book to layout, and once those are finalized we'll start printing both books! 

After that, per our previous update, we'll be pushing through on Faerie Campaigns 5E and Faerie Bestiary PF1 next and then on to the final books in the campaign! 

Happy reading and VTTing! 

Faerie Bestiary PF2 updated! Faerie Campaigns 5E coming soon!

Hi all,

Just a quick update to let you know the latest!

• 1.  Faerie Bestiary (PF2): The final version of Faerie Bestiary for Pathfinder Second Edition is now up on Backerkit and available for download. We've sent the final files to the printer for review and cross-checking before we go to print. The 5E book has finished clearing there and will be put in the queue for printing shortly! 
• 2.  Arcknight Pawns: Two big boxes of our plastic pawns arrived today! For any orders that involve books already in stock plus minis, we'll get those headed out soon. Others will ship when your books arrive! 
• 3.  3D Minis from Tableflip: These are printed, wrapped, packed, and ready to ship from the manufacturer to us! We look forward to getting them in and ready for you! 
• 4.  VTT News: The Faerie Bestiary PF2 module has been submitted for approvals at Roll20, so backers who ordered that item will receive your codes as soon as we get them back from the Roll20 folks. Faerie Bestiary 5E for Foundry is nearing completion as well, and once it's been loaded up and approved we'll get codes for you for that too! No updates yet on Faerie Bestiary for Shard and Fantasy Grounds but we've reached out and will let you know when we hear back with an ETA.
• 5.  Reviews! With the PDF already out in your hands, we set the PDF version of the Faerie Bestiary 5E live earlier this month. It would definitely help spread the word if you could take a minute or two to leave a rating and/or a short review for the book on DrivethruRPG (click here to go to the product page) or anywhere else you see it posted for sale. This will be doubly true once we receive the printed books and load them up to Amazon. We hope you are loving your books and if you are let other folks know what they're missing!

Thanks as always for your amazing support and we hope this week is truly Legendary

Faerie Bestiary 5E PDF updated! And last 4 days of Mechanical Monsters!
almost 2 years ago – Mon, Jan 30, 2023 at 02:57:18 PM

Hi all,

After an exhaustive fine-toothed comb review of the ink plotter of Faerie Bestiary 5E, we sent through our final edits and changes, including some that your fantastic fan eyes spotted (like some copy-paste issues with the Bliss Dragon stat block). Those files have been finalized and sent back to the printer to start work soon. Meanwhile, we have uploaded the Faerie Bestiary 5E v2 PDF to Backerkit for you to download there! 

We look forward to being able to do likewise soon with the Faerie Bestiary PF2. We've received a few notes about errors fans have found in that PDF that we shared, but if you spot any more please let us know in the comments below and we'll get those sorted out ASAP! 

Meanwhile, work continues on the other books in this project as we speed towards the finish line in a much more settled climate with the OGL debacle in the rearview mirror for the foreseeable future! We are looking forward to some more big projects coming soon but also will be ramping up our Legendary Loot Patreon to include daily content for PF1, PF2, SF, and ORCfinder/Corefinder, like 5E can get now at our Legendary Loot Patreon! 

Last but not least, we have just FOUR DAYS LEFT on our Mechanical Monsters Kickstarterfor 5E, PF1, and SF, and if you haven't checked it out yet we definitely hope you will! Over 100 incredible creatures for PF1, over 140 for 5E, and all perfect for your campaign whether you lean towards magitech and steampunk or aliens engines or industrial future tech. It all ends Friday night, February 3, so if you love what Legendary brings to the table, pledge today! 

Faerie Bestiary PF2 and Faerie Bestiary VTT Tokens are up!
almost 2 years ago – Wed, Jan 25, 2023 at 11:12:15 AM

Hi all,

Quick update time! 

• The two items noted above are now available for download in Backerkit! The Faerie Bestiary (PF2) is looking beautiful and we hope you absolutely love it! 
• The VTT Token Pack I thought was already up there but one of our backers asked about it and turns out I was wrong. There was a separate token pack specific to Fantasy Grounds that was up there already, but not the main one for everyone! That error has been remedied, so if you're supposed to be getting the all-purpose Faerie Bestiary VTT tokens, you can download them there now! 
• Layout is nearly complete on Faerie Campaigns (5E), but given our printers being down for Lunar New Year layout has pivoted to getting the Faerie Bestiary (PF1) up and out the door to you, since that one will be PDF and POD. 
• Editing and development has been blazing fast on Faerie Campaigns (PF2), but we did run into one hiccup. The person who had been assigned to convert Into the Feyweald ran into a family tragedy and had to drop out so we've reassigned that work to a new person. Hopefully this won't result in any delay (since there are still other books in the layout queue in front of it), but please so send any thoughts, prayers, long-distance hugs, or general well-wishes and always remember to love and care for your loved ones the very best you can. Tomorrow is not promised, so be your best today. 
• Last but not least, Mechanical Monsters! As we noted in our last update, while we are cranking hard to the finish on our remaining books for Ultimate Faeries, one of our other teams has also completed work on Mechanical Monsters, our latest Quickstarter project for DnD 5E and Pathfinder RPG, with tons of clockworks, cyborgs, robots, androids, and mechanical fey, fiends, oozes, and more, plus add-ons like the Alien Bestiary and Alien Codex and Roll20 and Fantasy Grounds support! The Mechanical Monsters Quickstarter ends February 3, and as always we hope you'll check it out and spread the word to fellow 5E fans and Pathfinder players alike!

Updates on Ultimate Faeries! And Mechanical Monsters rolls on!
almost 2 years ago – Sun, Jan 22, 2023 at 07:37:24 PM

Hi all, 

Thanks so much for your awesome support of the Ultimate Faeries project! We have lots to announce this week! 

•  Faerie Bestiary (PF2): Layout says they should have the final PDF ready to review in the next day or so. I'll do the final cross-check, and if it's good to go I'll be uploading it to Backerkit for your downloads! If there are any final corrections, we'll make those PDQ and get it up and ready for you! The final count is 264 pages.
•  Faerie Campaigns (5E): Layout is hard at work rolling all of the artwork into this book. It looks like the final page count on this one will likewise be somewhere between 248-264 pages (books for an offset print run are created in "signatures" that are divisible by 8 pages, basically laid out into a giant single sheet that is then folded and cut into 8-page sections when the book is assembled). Our printer has paused all work for Lunar New Year until the end of the month, so we might press on with the PDF of this or might pivot to #3 on the list and do that one next! 
•  Faerie Bestiary (PF1): I just finished editing and proofing the manuscript for this one today and sent it off to layout! This one grew a LOT in the process and now clocks in at around 130 monsters, including the ones converted from PF2 to PF1! The original idea was for around 60 creatures, so anyone getting this book is getting an amazing deal! As noted above, we'll see where layout is on Faerie Campaigns (5E) and see which book between that one and this one makes the most sense to work on during the Lunar New Year shutdown. 
•  Faerie Campaigns (PF2): This one is still in editing and assembly, but it'll be ready to go to layout once the previous two books are complete. 
•  Switching Editions: Given the recent issues with the Open Gaming License, several backers have contacted me asking to switch their pledge from 5E to PF2, and we're happy to accommodate you. There's not always an equivalent pledge available (notably, the Royal $333 pledge does not have a PF2 equivalent), but to the extent possible we can switch you over if you are among those who are planning a move away from 5E; just let us know ASAP! 
•  Print Proofs Arrived for Faerie Bestiary (5E): We are excited to share the print samples sent to us for review! This includes 16 randomly selected "ozalids" (print finals of pages on the same glossy paper used in the book) to make sure everything looks right, plus a low-res injket "plotter" which is the complete book printed in signatures for us to review - sometimes you spot things on paper that you just don't see on the screen. Take a look at this book beginning to take shape! I'll be reviewing these and sending back any notes for corrections to the printer, and they can get started on these books (including the deluxe version) once production resumes January 30! 

• Last but not least, Mechanical Monsters! While we are cranking hard to the finish on our remaining books for Ultimate Faeries, one of our other teams has also completed work on Mechanical Monsters, our latest Quickstarter project for DnD 5E and Pathfinder RPG (with bonus add-ons also available for Starfinder). That project is right about the halfway point and is already over $30,000 and climbing, with 140 clockworks, cyborgs, robots, androids, and mechanical fey, fiends, oozes, and more! The 5E version should be ready for you as soon as the KS ends. We added the PFRPG book due to customer demand, and the Word doc is complete and with our layout artist now, so they'll start on that as soon as the 5E book is done. Add-ons like the Alien Bestiary and Alien Codex are already ready to go, and we've got Roll20 and Fantasy Grounds support available too! 

The Mechanical Monsters Quickstarter ends February 3, and as always we hope you'll check it out and spread the word to fellow 5E fans and Pathfinder players alike!
