BESTIARY MILESTONE: UNLOCKED (Patreon)
Content
Okay, THIS has been a Milestone I've been SO PUMPED to get for AGES! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU GUYS DID THIS AW MAN HOLY CRAAAAAAP
I have a thousand things to do right at this very second, but AT THE VERY LEAST WE CAN START TALKING ABOUT THIS AND COMING UP WITH SOME IDEAS, DUDES.
So, man, I have so many ideas for this tier, not the least of which is eventually printing all of these within a design of a book printed and distributed within the DotL universe, a la Harry Potters A History of Quidditch and Extraordinary Beasts and Where to Find them. I have no page count goal at this point, but I want to at least hit MAYBE 100 pages (pretty ambitious!).
The Bestiary itself will be in the relative style of ~1800s Scientific Illustrations , with handwritten notes in the margins and maybe a paragraph of text to elaborate upon Life Cycles, Preferred Diets, and Native Regions.
(The idea is that... Thistle is the author of this book...? Or maybe it's just required literature distributed by the Mercenary Guild? Who knows...!)
I originally came up with the concept for this tier after creating this Leviathan Notes Sheet while Livestreaming and bouncing ideas around with everyone there, which was an absolute blast, and that's something I'd like to revive. It will make research much easier and make me way more accountable to finish them when I can, or at least make myself more accessible to y'all.
ALSO, HEY, LET'S TALK ABOUT SOME MONSTER IDEAS.
So far, here are the creatures I know for a fact I want to include:
- Unicorns
- Dragons
- Griffins
- Harpies
- Glow Trolls
- Leviathans
- Mermaids?
- Cave Elves
- Phoenixes
- and others I cannot recall off of the top of my head.
Here are my questions for you:
WHAT MONSTERS COULD WE ADD TO THE WORLD AND COVER IN THIS BESTIARY? Any creature from any culture or folklore is fair game. Heck, the more obscure, the better!
DO YOU GUYS WANT TO CHOOSE WHAT CREATURE I COVER VIA A MONTLY POLL? Obviously, there are a couple I definitely for sure need to hit given the lore and storypoints of DotL, but everything else could be your decision. Do you want that responsibility??
WHEN'S A GOOD TIME FOR Y'ALL? I am most likely available Monday Evenings or Weekends, and slotting this into my schedule will be a little bit of a struggle, but I would like to know when the most of you could make it to figure that part out.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS YYYEEEAAAASSSS
