Ken St Andre's Monsterary of Zimrala Update

Zimrala Beckons: Final Hours! New Map Sneak Peek!

March 2022 marked a thrilling chapter in my RPG journey, joining the creative team behind Ken St. Andre's "Monsterary of Zimrala." For those steeped in RPG history, Ken St. Andre is a legend—the mind behind "Tunnels & Trolls" and the monster-centric "Monsters! Monsters!" (M!M!). In 2020, a successful Kickstarter revived M!M!, proving its enduring appeal. Now, Ken unveils Zimrala.

With only 28 hours left to go, a few new updates have just dropped! You can head over to the Kickstarter link and read all the exciting details by clicking here. Don't miss out on the final push!

This isn't just another bestiary; it's a gateway to a fully realized world. "The Monsterary of Zimrala" delivers over 111 unique, illustrated creatures, from the Ambaina to the Zimralan Wraith, most never before seen. But it's more than a monster manual. It's a world guide, detailing Zimrala's mysteries, lost civilizations, and tumultuous past—a setting for future solo and GM adventures from Ken himself.

And here's the kicker: these monsters aren't limited to M!M.! The book includes adaptable stats, allowing you to incorporate them into any RPG system. Speaking of which, check out this sneak peek! I managed to snag a screenshot of the upper north map of Zimrala, officially drawn by the talented Steve Crompton. You can see the islands I purchased, now proudly bearing the name "Tygerian Isles." And yes, that's right, I've even gone ahead and pre-named B-2 (though I didn't buy it!) in anticipation of my upcoming game map – consider it a strategic invasion plan in the making!

I am so looking forward to this Kickstarter coming to fruition! I can barely wait to get my hands on the PDF proofread, and of course, the final printed book and that full-color map! I'm especially eager to see what Ken St. Andre has done with my tygermen, now officially known as the Tygerians of Tyger-land, which I've lovingly renamed Tygeria. Plus, all those fantastic goodies that have been unlocked through the stretch goals!

This project is a testament to collaborative passion. Ken, along with award-winning talents like Bear Peters, Stefan Jones, Debora Kerr, Steve Crompton, Liz Danforth, and others, are crafting something special. Their combined experience, spanning classics like "Deluxe Tunnels & Trolls" and "Grimtooth's Trapsylvania," guarantees a high-quality experience.

"The Monsterary" also includes GM and solo adventures within Zimrala, with even more exciting surprises likely to be revealed in these final hours. This isn't just a book; it's an invitation to explore a world built by RPG pioneers.

For me, it's a dream come true. I'm contributing to a world that blends classic RPG sensibilities with fresh, imaginative concepts. My Tygerians, once confined to my own imagination, now roam Zimrala's landscapes.

If you crave a rich, monster-filled world compatible with any RPG, and you want to be part of something truly special, head over to the Kickstarter now! With only 28 hours remaining, time is running out to pledge and secure your copy. Go look at the latest updates and pledge today, and I will see you all in Zimrala!
