Runecairn Bestiary

You reach the summit of the frozen mountain, shrieking wind whipping around the broad shield protecting your exposed face. You grit your teeth as you see the terrifying figure standing before you, burning red eyes peering within an icy white skull. The dead thing raises its arms and the two corpses laying frozen next to it shudder to life, hissing with rage.

You ready your shield and raise your bearded axe high above your head. You scream a prayer to the lost gods and charge forward...

Since the initial release, the response to Runecairn has been incredible! The combination of the Norse mythology setting and Soulslike mechanics has really resonated with people. The one thing I'm asked most is: when can we get new monsters to fight? I'm super excited to say the answer is NOW!

The Runecairn Bestiary introduces 100 deadly new monsters, NPCs, and legendary creatures inspired by Norse mythology. You'll also find new rules and tips for creating your own Runecairn monsters and converting existing monsters from Cairn or other Into the Odd-based systems.

Now you can fill the Nine Realms with all manner of terrifying undead, colossi, or demons.

By Odin's Beard RPG is one of the best creators in the #Cairn hackspace. And the Runecairn Bestiary might be his best work yet. The way in which he adds tiny gameplay tweaks to Cairn statblocks while keeping their simplicity is just really, really cool.
