Mockup Not final design (i want the bottom page to better meld with the top image


It's that time of year to develop the next adorable Baby Bestiary Calendar! This time we're going to use Domenico Neziti, one of our illustrators that was featured in the Baby Bestiary Handbook!

We picked out a few beasts that we just HAD to have in the calendar. But we have no idea what to do for the other nine. This is where you, the backers, come in! We need your help to vote on the other nine beasts in the 2016 Baby Bestiary Calendar!

A head holding a censure with a fire elementlet, one head in the ground as an earth elementlet popped up from the ground; a head poking through a little air-elementlet cloud and the last head getting squirted by an elementlet (VOTED)

Baby Bestiary Handbook

If you missed the Baby Bestiary Kickstarter, it is an adorable book about the your favorite fantasy beasts, how they reproduce and how to rear them if you so want to find one and train it :) The book features 32 baby beasts within each with amazing artwork done by Conceptopolis, including the eyebeasts, owlbears and phase cats.


When this kickstarter ends I can send off your PDF immediately, and the books are printing as you read this.

The official release of the Baby Bestiary Handbook is during GenCon (July 29th) but you will be getting your copy before then :D
