Ars Magica Fifth Edition probably has more monsters, creatures, and foes fully described than any other edition of the game. However, despite bestiaries in each of the Realm supplements, the Cradle and the Crescent, Between Sand & Sea, and a host of other books there is always a call for more so that storyguides in a rush can drop the perfect creature into their story.
So the Sub Rosa team are working on a bestiary issue for later this year and we are inviting community contributions.
We're looking for twenty or so new animals, beasts, creatures, or monsters, fully described along with their stats, powers, etc. Each piece should be no longer than 1500 words in addition to the stat block and should be something that isn't already available in the published line.
They can be as high-fantasy as you like and they can be supernatural or mundane in nature, be aligned to any realm or none at all, and they could be monstrous in nature, or warped or magical humans, or entities animated by magics Hermetic or otherwise, and they could be unique creatures or they could be examples of a new race or breed.
We’ll commission brand new custom artwork for each one, as we do normally for each article, and this time we'll make the first ten completed available as freebies for anyone to download.
If you'd like to have a go, send us a note at subrosa@distantlandspublishing.com describing the creature you would like to do so we can coordinate and make sure we don't get twenty Purple Oozes and we can get you off and running.
