They say it takes a village to raise a child. In this case, that village is more than 700 strong, and they don’t just raise children. They are monster ranchers.
Kobold Press is grateful to the over 700 playtesters who contributed their insights and reports to making the monsters of Tome of Beasts 3 better, wilder, and, most of all, more entertaining in everyone’s game!
