Donjon Pak B1: Men of Steel and Beasts of Terror!
I'd like to announce that the first Donjon supplement, the Donjon Bestiary, will be available within the next week or two, so save up those nickels. For $5, the Bestiary will contain example humans to use as antagonists or pick-up characters, and a load of nasty creatures. The full list:
Humans
---------
Archer
Knight
Cleric
Wizard
Mentalist
Demon Slayer
Barbarian
Tribal Warrior
Crimefighter
Monsters
----------
Skeleton
Zombie
Spectre
Lich
Death Jester
Death Knight
Succubus
Hellmount
Beast Demon
Hawk Demon
Flayer
Glutton
Hunter Demon
Demon Arcanist
Stone Giant
Gem Giant
Orc
Black Orc
Dwarf
Kobold
Troglodyte
Ogre
Harpy
Alienist
Living Ooze
Minotaur
Dragon
Sea Dragon
Cloud Dragon
Dragon Wizard
Dragon King
Pterodactyl
Behemoth
That's 41 antagonists for your game, plus tips on creating great monsters for Donjon! Look for it in the next 10 or so days.

One thing I forgot to mention: every single beast except the Zombie has art, both in color and B&W - you'll get to download both versions, one for looking at, and one for printing on B&W printers.

Hell yes. I do believe I will be scoring this groovy thing. But...how come no zombie art?

RE: Donjon Pak B1: Men of Steel and Beasts of Terror!
To tell the truth, I purchased a collection of crazy-looking fantasy art to make this collection. (Each of the monsters listed comes from this art - I used inspiration instead of logic for the content.) However, I wrote up a really bad-ass zombie, then realized I had no art for him. He's too good not to go in, though.

The new Donjon Pak is now on sale for $5! Drop by the new Anvilwerks Store and pick it up!
I'm pretty happy with this one, folks.

Awesome! Just one question - does it include the Donjon Master's screen you mentioned here: http://trio.rpg.net/rf08/read.php?f=1275&i=1&t=1 or is that a separate thing?

Jon,
The Donjon Master's Screen will be a separate download coming in the next week, and will be completely free, which is exciting for all.
Best,
Clinton

I just finished my first read-through of the Donjon Pak. Excellent work, Clinton. The Death Jester kicks ass. And you were right about the demons -- they're going to be very useful in my Donjon-ized Buffy series.
Oh, and thanks for all the credits! You rock.

Bailywolf,
You have no idea how much John rules. He sent me a new, much improved cover for the Pak last night, which I've updated. If anyone's downloaded the new supplement already, you might want to download it again. (Check out the Anvilwerks Store to see the new cover.)

Hi Clinton,
Maybe I'm just 'tupid, but I can't find a Buy link for the Pak. Can you post it here?
Best,
Ron

Ron,
Sure thing - you can buy it from the new Anvilwerks Store. I should probably make that more apparent on the Donjon page.

Got it. It's good. It's the way it should have been all those years ago.

Cover
I agree that the zombie cover rocks muchly. However. I'm printing the book out, and I'm a little leery of printing the cover -- it looks like it'll be a big ink bomb. Have you given any thought to providing an alternate (lower-ink-usage) cover? (If not, cool; I realize that it may not be worth the expense or time....)

Clinton, if you need a simple inked zombie for the cover I hereby donate my services.

Jon,
Thanks. I screwed up the filename the first time. It should work now.

Will this be ready by Friday? I'm running a Donjon game Saturday, and lots of Pretty Things will help. My players are unconvinced by home-printed PDFs, they're spoiled by Buffy...

Er. RPGNow.com does not seem to be including any "second version" of your books, Mr. Nixon, including the Bestiary; I also picked up Donjon and Paladin a couple of days ago, and if they were supposed to have alternate "look-at" and "print-out" versions.. they did not. Just one file in the .zip archive.

I just purchased Donjon Pak B1 this weekend. Nice job, Clinton. However, where are the chicks in chainmail bikinis? They always seemed to be de rigueur for this genre (just think about all the Vallejo-esque Dragon Magazine covers).

PS Any news on the Donjon Master's Screen?
