Old-School Essentials: Gateway to Adventure - Creature Companion (EN)

Enter the work of Evlyn Moreau. Evlyn's work is inspiring, to say the least. She consistently puts out artwork for her patrons to use in their publications, which is a wonderful exchange. I often see a drawing of a creature crop up there that sparks my imagination, and its mythos forms in my mind.


Within the pages of this bestiary you will find many creatures from the artwork of Evlyn Moreau. Some are quite cruel, while others are kind. Here, you will find new friends and enemies for your games. A few may be familiar, while most will be quite new. Strange beasts, hideous hags and things from beyond this mortal coil dwell within the pages of the book you now hold in your hands! In this special limited printing, you will also find appendices featuring twelve gods, their followers' religions and spells that may be cast by their priesthood. We hope the new imaginings that we bring you will catch your interest and take you back to the days you picked up and thumbed through your first game bestiary, feeling the wonder of learning about the book's strange inhabitants!


This book is a full bestiary. Being that all of the monsters are new, and that the book is meant to highlight Evlyn's art, you will get a two page spread for each creature featured. The first page will consist of the name of the creature and a full page illustration. The second page will have the usual stat block, but will also feature a few paragraphs describing the creature as these are all new critters, not your typical orcs and dragons.
