About the book:
Kobolds & Goblins & Bugbears, Oh My!
The world of Dungeons & Dragons has so many fascinating creatures to explore and interact with, but more often than not, those creatures labeled as “monstrous” are seen as nothing more than a bag of experience points for adventurers to carve through in their quest to further expand and explore the world around them. Very rarely are these creatures presented in a positive light, and even more rarely as individuals with their own stories to tell. This disconnect is further widened by the ability for players to create characters from these so called “monstrous” races, often labeling player characters as “outcasts” or individuals who were able to “break free” of their monstrous origins and find a more civilized way of being.
With Not Another Monster Quest, we seek to showcase these “monstrous” races in a wide spectrum of colors and personality types, not just automatically quantifying them as evil because of how they look or their background. “Evil” is not something that should be prescribed to an entire race of beings with a handful of them, usually player characters, being quantified as “good.” Just as in our world, theirs is filled with people of every size, shape, color, class, and creed, and that should not be dictated by the ancestry that they were born into. In these pages you will find cozy kobold merchants, goofy goblin miners, and a whole host of bugbear buddies to help enrich your world and stories. So, we invite you to turn the page, and step into a world filled with possibilities and wonder, as we break the mold, delving further into how we define these “monstrous” characters.
