Just to make reference to some format things that have been mentioned. These are points that are in the original proposal for the project Greg and I put together. I welcome comments on each of these points.

1. Our original concept for this was to do it as a Kickstarter project.

2. Each entry done as a half-page, full-page or (in the case of some stuff grouped together like “equines” and “slimes”) multi-page entry. This, we feel, would make it easy to find entries.

3. Every entry will have a full-figure illo in black and white.

4. Every entry will have a matching creature card using the same illo in the book. (For multi-creature entries there would be a card/illo for each specific variant, like different slime types, donkeys/horses/mules, etc.) The deck or decks would likely be Kickstarter add-ons, so you could purchase just the book, or add the deck(s).

(4a. I was planning for tarot-size cards for the creatures to give a little more text room.)

5. Cards would have text/stats on one side and JUST the illo on the other. (This is Greg’s idea, so a GM can show the party what they see in front of them without displaying stats, etc.)

6. Counters provided for all entries using the same artwork from the book and cards. (This would be a set of stretch goals for Kickstarter, probably, starting with a PDF set and graduating to multiple sets of physical counters as add-ons, or so I envisioned it.)

Again, this was initial rough proposal, but Greg and I would like your feedback on these ideas. Be aware that some may not be practical or feasible for whatever reason. Still, I’d like to know if we’re reading the needs of the audience correctly.
