Chimeras, Fairies, Hippogriffs, and all Creatures Both Wondrous and Horrifying are Here!
Stockholm, Sweden (February 27, 2024) — From cat people to chimeras, fairies to frog people, hippogriffs to hydras, and many more – creatures both wondrous and horrifying are here! Free League Publishing today officially released the Bestiary for the critically acclaimed fantasy RPG Dragonbane.
The Dragonbane Bestiary includes no less than 63 creatures, each brought to life in text and art. Among these fantastic beings nine new playable kin are included, each with their own unique ability.
The full-color hardcover book has cover art by Johan Egerkrans and is gloriously illustrated by David Brasgalla. The book is available both in a standard edition and in a premium Collector's Edition, with a faux leather cover and gold foil print.
A complete cardboard Standee Set for the creatures in the Bestiary for use on a battle map has also been released and is available separately.
In addition, Free League has released a hardback version of the Dragonbane Rulebook, also in a standard edition and a premium Collector's Edition, with a faux leather cover and gold foil print. The contents of the separate Rulebook are the same as in the softcover rulebook in the boxed Dragonbane Core Set, but with an added introductory adventure: The Castle of the Robber Knight.
The Bestiary, Rulebook, and Standee Set are now in the Free League webstore and available at retailers worldwide. The Bestiary and Rulebook are available as PDFs at DriveThruRPG, and the Bestiary is available as a module on Foundry VTT.

Dragonbane is designed from the ground up to facilitate fast and furious play, with very little prep time and adventures that are a breeze to run. This is a game with room for laughs at the table, while still offering brutal challenges for the adventurers. A playstyle Free League calls "mirth and mayhem roleplaying" – great for long campaigns, but also perfect for a one-shot.
A Dragonbane Quickstart PDF is available for free via the official website and at DriveThruRPG. Players worldwide are invited to design and publish their own supplements for Dragonbane, using the third-party license for the game.
