Hey friends - just taking a quick moment to share some more progress reports. We are still kicking ass and taking names. Speaking of which, have a look at this delightful race, the buaya durat. Yes, they are komodo-men, pure and simple. What's not to love here?
I'll be rolling up my barbarian/druid that rage-shifts as soon as the book is printed. :D
-art not final.
Now I do wish things were moving faster, but our pipeline wasn't quite set up to do massive hardcover books like this, so there's been a ton of growth in our organization - all thanks to you guys! We are reviewing each chapter now, section by section and adding the art to layout as it comes through.
Art has been a challenge, but we continue to find great new artists to work with and are expanding our art output. From there we'll be doing our final edits and getting the PDF together. I had hoped we'd have that out this month, but I'm not sure that will be entirely possible. However, I do think an April PDF is very much on target.
Also, in other news we've revamped our website a little bit as well. We've reorganized all of our items and hopefully made it easier to browse all the epic things we have available. Give it a look and we'll see you guys next time!

Hey everyone! Happy Friday!
I just wanted to get on and share a couple things quick. First of all, check out this glorious monstrosity - the Sandshark! Who won't enjoy seeing these things casually "swim" around in the sand dunes as they travel..? Such wondrous things I have to keep showing you... but we'll have to wait until the next update. For now, read below about our DICE GIVEAWAY!
Over at Total Party Kill Games, we are also running a really outstanding promotion. All you need to do is sign up and like our Facebook page to be entered into a chance of winning ANY set of dice on our website. There's multiple ways for you to get more entries too!

Dire Cheetah Art & General Update

Without further ado, may I introduce this fast, furious, killing machine...
Yeah... remember that the Book of Monstrous Might is not just about monstrous player characters, it's about deadly monstrosities as well. This particular one is the dire cheetah, a prehistoric badass capable of outrunning most beasts, and slaying them with their vicious claws and deadly jaws...
This is really just an example of the art that continues to come in. I wish that the art was pouring in faster, but we don't quite have the stable of artists (yet) that larger publishing companies do. That's something I'm working on to make us faster, like my furry friend up there.
Have a great weekend my friends and good gaming! Be sure to tune into our social media Saturday-Sunday this week, as I suspect there will be a delightful sale on dice and other awesome accessories. You know, just a hunch... Thanks again for the support, and I'll be sharing more art in the coming week!

Growth at TPK and Goblin Encounters!
about 5 years ago
– Sat, Jan 09, 2021 at 11:29:02 AM
Hey everyone! How is the gaming going? I hope great! Things in the land of Total Party Kill Games has been great as well, perhaps ludicrously busy, but great! In fact, I recently hired an art director and product manager to assist with the growth. I think that we'll be getting a lot more art moving here soon and have plenty to share!
In the meantime, we've nearly wrapped up the 100 Goblin Encounters section. One thing I really wanted to see was some tables to make some of the most overused monsters interesting. Here's a taste and we'll see you all next time!
A goblin exile offers to lead the party through a treacherous stretch of land. He might just lead the party into confrontation with his former tribe to get his revenge.
Players find a goblin with a broken leg, near death--starving and badly dehydrated. It begs pitifully for help. Should the players aid the goblin, it may worship the healer as a powerful spellcaster! It fawns over that character and serves as a loyal cohort.
A goblin warband rides on wargs and throws torches swiftly into a village or outpost, causing great terror in the ensuing chaos. They flee into the hills or woods afterwards, but why?
Goblins mine under a town and break into a trade guild, robbing them of thousands of gold pieces. They have set traps behind them and the tunnels split, leading in unforeseen directions. The question is whether they lead to more traps, a lair or more targets…
After the destruction of another group of goblins, the players are tracked down by a goblin champion. He calls out the player who struck down the most of them, offering them a duel and seeking to avenge his clan’s honor.
A goblinoid shaman has taken over a goblin tribe, deposing a goblin warlord with his magic. Now the goblins have taken on a terrifying habit of ritual sacrifice and are kidnapping travelers from the roads. When the players enter the area, the common folk beseech them for aid and to return their loved ones before it’s too late.
A more powerful monster has taken over the goblins territory and is forcing them to pay tribute. In return, the goblins that may have once been little threat are suddenly rising up against the locals. Of course, when confronted they are more than willing to point the characters against their new master.
Goblin rangers (alternatively druids) have trained dire rats to do their bidding and steal food and other items from a village. Investigation will reveal the dire rats and lead back to the goblins who have grown fat and lazy from their easy operation.
Goblin warg-riders swiftly harry the party, only to rush off. They lead the party into a dangerous ambush, with goblin archers firing from the surrounding trees.
The characters come across a filthy and poorly camouflaged shrine to a dark god. If the characters destroy the shrine, the goblins are angered. The weather turns foul, possibly just a coincidence, and the goblin zealots track the characters down for divine vengeance.
Goblins leave a “Trojan Horse” as a gift, but accidentally lock themselves in. Now they howl pitifully for release. This can easily serve as a moral conundrum to the party as they decide what to do with the now helpless goblins.
After an encounter with a squad of goblins, the clan becomes obsessed with a PC's trinket, convinced it is a holy relic from their god. They will follow the characters and make every attempt to steal the trinket, even if it means sneaking into an inn at night!
An urban thieves’ guild uses goblin sneaks altered with a wand of disguise self to appear as children. The “children” are making the other guilds lose out on money and approach the characters to end this nuisance. How will the PCs handle them, thinking they are children, and later when they are revealed as goblins? What happens if they attract some real children and the group is mixed between real and false children?
