| Oh, will no good deed go unpunished? I suppose time will tell, but right now things are looking bleak indeed. I have wandered, ridden, climbed, crawled, and swum all over this earth; I have spoken with all manners of creatures, observed, analyzed, and recorded almost everything worth knowing about the people and beings of the world. And yet here I am, unthanked and crouched in a godforsaken crevice, hunted by several of the creatures that I’ve graciously included in my catalog. How astoundingly rude! – Theodora Sneezewort, one of a kind |
| From cat people to chimeras, fairies to frog people, hippogriffs to hydras, and many more – creatures both wondrous and horrifying are crawling, slithering, climbing and flying closer towards us all! Free League Publishing has announced that the upcoming Bestiary for the critically acclaimed fantasy RPG Dragonbane is set to release on February 27. The Dragonbane Bestiary includes no less than 63 creatures, each brought to life in text and art, as well as a random encounter and a seed for a complete adventure. Among these fantastic beings, there are nine new playable kin included, each with their own unique ability.

About Dragonbane
“Of the many TTRPGs played this year, Dragonbane stands out as one of the best.” –ScreenRant Review
A legend is reborn. Dragonbane is a fantasy tabletop roleplaying game full of magic, mystery, and adventure, a reimagined version of the classic Swedish fantasy RPG Drakar och Demoner. Dragonbane was voted one of the most anticipated RPGs of 2023 at EN World and has recieved high praise in reviews since the recent release in August 2023.
Dragonbane is designed from the ground up to facilitate fast and furious play, with very little prep time and adventures that are a breeze to run. This is a game with room for laughs at the table, while still offering brutal challenges for the adventurers. A playstyle Free League calls “mirth and mayhem roleplaying” – great for long campaigns, but also perfect for a one-shot.
A Dragonbane Quickstart PDF is available for free via the official website and at DriveThruRPG. Players worldwide are invited to design and publish their own supplements for Dragonbane, using the third-party license for the game.
