The Vault Opens Soon!

The world of D&D is full of dragons and sentient furniture, but the British Isles are a mystical plethora of wild, haunting, and magical beasts that tell a rich tale of British and Irish folklore.  The Vault of Monsters unleashes some of these beasties into your games of Dungeons and Dragons with brand new adventures, playable species and subclasses, and classic British irreverent humour.

Vault of Monsters is a 5e-compatible bestiary inspired by British folklore, regional legends, cryptids, old superstitions, and the wonderfully strange things people have been whispering about for centuries.

Think Dungeons & Dragons meeting British folklore in a rain-soaked lane at midnight, then making the poor decision to follow the lights into the trees.

Inside the book you’ll find original monsters built for actual play: creatures with lore, tactics, encounter hooks, variants, lair details where they fit, and enough story flavour to drop them straight into your campaign without your brain melting out of your ears.

These are monsters for Game Masters who want more than a stat block. Each one is designed to feel like it came from somewhere. A village rumour. A cursed field. A canal nobody walks beside after dark. A moorland shape seen once in lightning and then wisely never discussed again.

The book blends practical 5e design with a very British kind of weirdness: dry, ancient, funny in the wrong places, and faintly damp around the edges... eww

By backing Vault of Monsters, you’ll help us crack open the doors and bring these creatures to print, with original human-made artwork, table-ready writing, and a bestiary that gives your players something fresh to fear, fight, bargain with, or make several poor decisions around.

The Vault is waiting...Best bring a lantern.

Unique Monsters: The Vault draws heavily from the tone of British folklore. Discover unique homebrew creatures that can't be found in any official manual, from the sinister Tatty Bogle, the enigmatic Grindylow, and many more.

Detailed Lore: Each entry includes rich backstories and lore, adding depth and flavour to your encounters.

Dynamic Artwork: Stunning illustrations bring each monster to life, sparking the imagination and setting the scene for epic battles.

Balanced Mechanics: Meticulously playtested stats and abilities ensure that each monster offers a fair but challenging encounter for players of all levels.

Ready to run encounters: Unique Encounters for those monsters in a drop-in format, with clear objectives, twists, outcomes, optional complications, plus safety flags and content notes where they help.
