About the book:
So often in our games, the tribes of evil humanoids the characters encounter are reduced to nothing more than flavourless and bland, faceless foes destined to fall before the heroes’ might. This compilation changes that by presenting eight richly detailed tribes along with their lair designed to be easily integrated into your campaign with the minimum of effort and fuss. All you need to do is add the monsters’ stats and their treasure!
GM’s Miscellany: Monstrous Delves comprises the following tribes:
Orcs of the Flayed Skull
Goblins of the Death Rune
Gnolls of the Bleached Skull
Hobgoblins of the Mailed Fist
Bugbears of the Frozen Tears
Orcs of the Severed Hand
Lizardfolk of the Coiled Serpent
A Monstrous Delve is not a “proper” adventure. Rather, it is a starting point for your creativity. We provide a flavoursome overview of the delve and the monsters therein. You provide their stats and their treasure and pick a suitable adventure hook to draw the characters to the place.
Monstrous Delves are designed so that you can add them to your campaign with the minimum of fuss and effort. Have the characters got lost (deliberately or accidentally)? Have they decided to explore an area of wilderness you have yet to detail? Do you need a side trek or diversion? Simply drop a Monstrous Delve in their path!
Monstrous Delves are system-neutral; however, it is impossible to avoid all game references. A few generic terms such as elf, orc, fighter and cleric appear in the text. Modify these as necessary to suit your game and campaign world.
