The Future of the Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game?

That's not currently under consideration. Those are pricey to create; it would be a lot more likely that we run a future project to create a box of Cardboard Heroes in which we print all of the older counters in the same format as found in the Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game box set.

Very interesting! I'll just quietly wait for any future news about that, when and if it happens. (And if it does... wouldn't it be fun to see figures for the doomchildren, bugbears, ice wyrms, and other current DFRPG monsters that don't have figures yet. I'm guessing that'd have to be a big stretch goal, though; brand new figures = new art = expense$.)

You make it, I'll buy it.

sounds sensible

I'm slowly working on portraits and tokens suitable for VTT play. My art style is pretty different from the Cardboard Heroes look, and I don't think it's a good choice for printing, but you're welcome to check it out :)

I'm focusing on the critters that don't have a close equivalent in other RPGs; you can find plenty of orcs and bandits, not so many Watchers At The End Of Time or Void Brutes.

Is it just me that’s going “most monsters in DFRPG Monsters have no art, why is this a big deal now?”

I'm with you in a sense. I was fine without art, but don't mind having it either.

Sales and feedback from partners.

Your partners are right. I think one of the issues with Monsters was not only the paucity of art, but the art that was there didn’t add much. Dragons, giant rats, scorpion swarms, and zombies are all so common in RPGs or so obvious to anyone from popular culture that you can ditch the art when space is scarce, but others like the watcher at the edge of time could use some artwork (which was in DFM1) to convey how this thing looks.

Yeah, monster manuals need to have pictures.

Otherwise, it could all be a hoax!
