Hello,

I read somewhere over here that Abzu was going to put up some previews for the Monster Burner this week. I very much like the Monster Lifepaths, and I was curious as to how many creature lifepaths in total were going to be included and what they were going to be? Also, could we get a sample non-lifepoath monster or two so we can see the format along with a pdf of the table of contents so we know what exactly we are getting.

So to pester, but I am on a limited budget for the Summer and I don't have much money to spend on game books. I just want to know what I can look foward to.

Hi John,

Don't you worry, there'll be plenty of preview Monster Burner stuff coming up.

Just set aside $20 for the book; trust me, you're going to want it.

400 pages!

That means the book is about the size of the first two books combined :shock:

I hope the binding will take it :lol:

I'll be looking foward to all the previews you will have, just try to put up a table of contents.

When should the previews be available?

previews aren't going up until i see the final proof from the printer and make any last minute corrections.

so maybe next week sometime.

I'll be posting a couple of chapters from the book, plus a sample page from every chapter of the book, plus the TOC and Intro.

I edited 5 of the chapters in the MoBu. Trust me. You will NOT be disappointed. The lifepaths are excellent, and the non-lifepath monsters are very, very cool. Also, the art RAWKS!

:D

Are the lifepaths presented in as much detail as Character Burner? I guess what I'm asking is, are there potential player races in there?

Yes, of course!

Lots of playable material in the Monbu.

Four complete lifepath chapters. Arguably more complete than the ones in the CB, as EVERY trait is described. No more unlisted/undescribed traits.

The rough drafts for three of the chapters are availble in the downloads section -- Trolls, Spiders and Wolves. But they have been revised, edited and illustrated, so the ones in the book are even better.

And, I give you the tools for coming up with a monstrous PC stock on the spot. So you can whip up your own race/character and use that, or even whip up a new race stock and run him through one of the existing lifepath sets.

Soon, guys, very soon. I'm reading the proofs right now!

What is the Chapter breakdown? 4 Chapters for specific Monsters, one for creating your own monster(or more than one?) and then what?

*Bes curious*
